World Cup Trading

Betting does not necessarily require someone to pick a winner to make a profit, many punters these days are using Betfair to make a profit from spotting value in bets or backing selections that have a big chance of dropping in price before the event finishes.

These selections can then be laid on Betfair to guarantee a profit whatever happens.

Make Money from World Cup Trading

So to make money out of trading at the World Cup you need to examine each market and pick selections that you think are going to increase or decrease dramatically in price. Then you can lay them or back them respectively with a view to doing the opposite (back if you laid or lay if you backed) once the price has changed. Here are our thoughts on some areas we think should be profitable:

Trading Teams Who May Start The Group Stage Badly But Still Qualify

Obviously two sides qualify from each group and it is inevitable that some sides will lose their first game and go on to qualify, especially if they have their toughest game up first.

After losing (or even drawing) in their first game the odds on them qualifying should get bigger, so if you have laid them to qualify before the first game, then they get bigger, you can then back them at a bigger price to secure a guaranteed profit.

Trading Teams Who Won't Win The World Cup But Will Shorten In Second Round

Pretty much every team that qualifies for the Second Round should shorten in the World Cup Outright Betting as there will be less teams left in and they should theoretically have a better chance of winning the World Cup as a result of getting through the World Cup Group Fixtures. You can back some teams to win the World Cup before it starts and then after the Group Stage you can lay them in the same market at a shorter price, guaranteeing yourself a profit.

Trading Teams That Are Underpriced To Win The World Cup

Teams such as Uruguay and perhaps Germany are likely to be overpriced to win the World Cup. That isn't to say they will win the World Cup, but their odds to win the World Cup are likely to trade shorter at some point in the tournament than they do before the World Cup, so taking those pre tournament odds could prove a shrewd move.

Trading Players Who Will Score Goals During The Group Stage

Unless you score about six goals in the three group games you will need to get to the quarter finals at least to become the World Cup Golden Boot. Some players will score as many goals as the eventual Golden Boot at the group stage and it is the players who already have the goals in the bank who will be the favourites in the Golden Boot Betting so backing players who have easy group fixtures and then laying them after the group stage should guarantee a profit.
