World Cup 2003 Betting

[The Blues]

Taken from www.paddypower.ie the following are the early odds on the world cup...


Australia 7 - 4

New Zealand 15 - 8

England 4 - 1

France 11 - 2

South Africa 6 - 1

Ireland 40 - 1

Argentina 66 - 1

Wales 125 - 1

Scotland 125 - 1

I have to say, unless you fancy a Northern Hemisphere win (which I don't), there is absolutely no value there at all.

Hopefully Australia will beat NZ in the tri-nations and that might push NZ out to around 5/2 which I would jump on.

NZ are my fancy....

Any thoughts?

South Africa and France have got good odds.

I can't see any team outside of Australia, NZ, South Africa or England winning the world cup. I am suprised that France are bigger favourites than SA at the moment.

I think South Africa are the best value but that's not saying much. Seeing those stingy odds I can say I wouldn't be placing any of my hard earned on the Union World Cup.
