WORLD CUP BETTING: Current World Champions Italy crashed out of the group stages yesterday after succumbing to Slovakia and the Netherlands made it 3 from 3. World Cup market moves.
Slovakia sent Italy tumbling out of the World Cup last night in an absorbing encounter in which the Slovakians eventually won 3-2. Italy, about 20/1 8th favs pre match for the tournament, and defending champions, were limp and seemingly uninterested until the 70th minute, by which time they were 2-0 down.
In reaction to that, the Netherlands have been constricted to 6/1 from 8/1 by William Hill and Coral have taken a similar path by going to 13/2, also from 8/1. Bet365 take a more moderate stance at 7/1 as the market’s best.
England and Germany are neck and neck in the betting. Betfred have relaxed their initial 8/1’s about them both to 10/1 and their is nothing to split the two.
Portugal have experienced a small cut, 20’s down to 18/1 with Ladbrokes and 888sport and Japan are another mover after the qualified ahead of Denmark – Skybet went from 100/1 to 66/1 but they will still be considered outsiders.
There were no significant changes at the top of the goalscorer markets but Robin Van Persie finally found the net. His odds have come in to 16/1 from 25/1 with both William Hill and Sportingbet.
