You can find the selected 2022 world cup odds for Brazil and Argentina below, with Messi’s side currently priced at around 11/1 to secure what would be their third World Cup triumph.

But which other competing sides listed below offer the best value from a punter’s perspective? Here are three of our picks for the very best ante-post wagers!

1️⃣ Backing the Favourite - Brazil World Cup Odds (5/1)

We’ll start our world cup picks with five-time World Cup winners Brazil, who as we say will be accustomed to the conditions in Qatar and are currently competitively priced at 5/1 to lift the Jules Rimet trophy.

Tite’s side also looked like an organised and competitive outfit during their recent Copa America campaign, despite a narrow, 1-0 defeat to Argentina that belied their status as favourites to prevail and the world cup winner odds confirm this.

At the heart of any likely success with the 2022 World Cup favorites, will be the talismanic Neymar, with the PSG forward central to the team’s fluid attacking play and his country’s second-highest goalscorer of all time (with 68 strikes in 111 caps). Real Madrid’s Casemiro and the combative Fred also provide strength and tenacity in midfield, while the pace and direct running of Everton’s Richarlison will surely trouble defences in the oppressive conditions.

Like most contemporary Brazil sides, this outfit combines steel and hard work with pace and flair in abundance, so it’s well-placed to go deep in the tournament at the very least.

🏅 World Cup Top Scorer Odds

The world cup top scorer betting odds are in the table below which are the most competitive amongst the sports books in Ireland and the UK. They are also know as the world cup golden boot odds for those of you who are more familiar with this term.

🔥 Best World Cup Betting Sites

The World Cup is one of the biggest sporting events in the world, so you will not be at all surprised to hear that the majority of sports betting world cup sites that you come across will have a variety of betting options on offer for this prestigious football tournament. They would be very foolish if they did not because there is a lot of money to be made since football fans from all across the world will place a variety of bets on the World Cup.

When it comes to 2022 World Cup betting, you might have plenty of online sports betting sites available to place bets, but there are some sportsbooks that are much better than their rivals, and we are going to take a closer look at some of these right now. We feel that if you decide to place wagers on the Qatar World Cup at one of the following bookmakers that you will have a top-quality gambling experience, which is obviously what you are looking for.

What are we going to be looking at exactly? Well, we will have a look at the best world cup betting offers that they currently have available and the type of promotions that you can expect to be running when the World Cup rolls around in November. We will also take a look at their main features such as cash out, in-play betting, and live streaming. So, without further ado, let's crack on.

1️⃣ BoyleSports World Cup

BoyleSports is an Irish bookmaker and it has become one of the biggest and most popular brands in the Emerald Isle. Many Irish punters use it for betting on sports such as greyhound racing and horse racing because it is one of the best around for these sports, but it is also a quality sportsbook when it comes to placing bets on big football events such as the upcoming 2022 Qatar World Cup.

BoyleSports, like all bookies, love it when a new player opens an account with them, and if you decide to do just that, then you will be able to claim €40 worth of World Cup free bets once you have made your first wager of at least €10. This Welcome Bonus will give you the chance to get your football betting off to a flier. Since it is a free bet World Cup bonus, there are no wagering requirements, which is always great to hear.

Obviously, once you have made use of a Welcome Bonus, you will want a number of top promotions to make the most of it. BoyleSports are aware of this, which is why they have a number of quality football promotions on offer still available by the time the 2022 FIFA World Cup begins.

100% Football Acca Boost: Place an accumulator with at least four football selections on it and you will qualify for this promotion. The boost that you will be given will depend on the number of selections you add to your accumulator. For example, if you keep it as a four-team accumulator and you go on to win the wager, you will get a 10% bonus added to your winnings. However, if you opt to go for a huge 13-team acca and it wins, you will get 100% added to your world cup bets winnings.

Acca Loyalty: This is an opt-in promo, and if you decide to do so, then for every five accys that you make that have combined odds of 4.00 or higher, you will receive €5 to put on a free accy.

Acca Insurance: There is nothing more annoying than losing out on a lovely profit with an accy because just one of your selections ends up being incorrect. BoyleSports are aware as to how annoying this can be, which is the reason why they have an acca insurance promotion running that we are sure will still be on offer come November. With this promotion, if your accy loses by one selection, then you will receive the value of your wager back as a free bet up to €20. You need to place a wager of €5 to qualify for such a promotion.

We are pretty sure that you will want to place some live World Cup bets on matches, so you will be happy to find out that BoyleSports has a wide variety of live football markets for you to try. When it comes to betting on the 2022 World Cup, you won't have a shortage of markets to choose from.

BoyleSports happen to be one of the biggest sports betting sites in Ireland, so it should not come as much of a surprise to find out that they have a Cash Out option. If you place a World Cup bet and it is winning but it looks like it might go on to lose, you can take a look at the cash out figure and see if it is worth taking. They also offer plenty of live streams for other popular sports such as greyhound racing and horse racing, but that is all. So, unless they make an exception for the World Cup, you will not be able to watch matches here.

2️⃣ Betway World Cup

Вe cannot speak about the best bookmakers for betting on the 2022 World Cup in Qatar without mentioning Betway. If you decide to make Betway the place that you go to place bets on football events such as the World Cup, then what type of Welcome Bonus will you be looking at? Well, they will be happy to match your first deposit up to the value of €30, so long as your first deposit is at least €10. Like with all bonuses, there are other T&Cs that apply too, so make sure that you check these out before you go ahead and claim it. What other promotions does Betway offer? Check below:

Free Bet Club: Opt into this bet and you will earn yourself two €5 free bets each week that you place €25 or more on accumulators will three or more selections.

Odds Boosts: Each day, Betway will choose certain markets from their football section and will increase the odds for them. We expect that they will be doing the same during the World Cup to entice their punters to place wagers with them. For example, the odds for Harry Kane to score against Iran might be 3.00, and Betway decides to offer odds of 5.00 for him to score. To check out what world Cup 2022 Odds are boosted, you just need to sign into your account each day.

Bet Builder: Choose a football match at the World Cup that you want to place an accumulator bet on, and then go through the various markets and choose the ones that appeal to you. You will be able to bet on a plethora of outcomes ranging from the number of goals to player shots on target to player yellow cards. Combine your selections into one bet for the chance to win yourself a bigger payout.

What about live betting at Betway? Well, Betway are actually well-known for having a quality live betting platform and this is mostly down to their market variety. Simply think of anything that you would like to bet on in a football game, and we are pretty sure that Betway will be offering their customers odds for it. When it comes to market variety and competitive 2022 world cup odds to win, there are not many that can compete with this bookie.

It is always wise to open an account with a bookmaker that has frequent cash out options, and Betway is a bookie that is not going to let you down in this regard. When you place a wager, you will have the option to cash it out should you think that things will be turned on its head and your bet will go on to be a losing one. We are 100% certain that they are going to have this cash out feature in play during the World Cup.

3️⃣ Luckster

When it comes to online sports betting sites, you really do not get much newer than Luckster since it has only been online since 2022. The fact that it makes our list of top bookies for betting on big football events such as the FIFA World Cup speaks volumes about just how good it is.

If you decide to make Luckster Sports the place you go to bet on your favourite sporting events, then what is the Welcome Bonus that you will be able to claim? Well, they are currently offering a 100% match bonus up to the value of €100, so if you decide to deposit €20 first up, you will receive an extra €20 to spend on whatever you feel like. The minimum amount that you can deposit stands at €10, while there are wagering requirements of 9x. Please read the remaining T&Cs.

Luckster might be new to the world of sports betting, but they are already fully aware of the fact that they need to keep their existing players happy too. Therefore, they have another promotion running that their punters can make use of, and we are pretty sure that this will be running when the World Cup gets underway in November.

Boost Your Combo Wins: Thanks to this promo, you will be able to enjoy up a boost of up to 77% on your accumulator wins that have four selections or more. If you place a four-fold accumulator and it goes on to win, you will land a boost of 4%, while if you place a 15-fold accumulator and it goes on to be a winning one, you will land yourself a 77% boost on your winnings. This is a promotion that applies to a variety of sports, not just football.

Live betting is something that has become really popular nowadays with football betting fans, so sportsbooks that are serious about the business that they are in will know that it is in their best interest to offer up a quality live betting section. Even though Luckster Sports is a new brand, they have done their homework because they have made sure that they have a quality live betting section where you can take advantage of a wide variety of markets and really competitive odds.

When there is a cash out option available, you are in complete control of your wager because you can select the best time to settle it and make a profit. Whether you have placed a combo or single bet, you can cash out your wagers at Luckster Sports with a click of a button.

When it comes to live streaming, this is where Luckster lacks since they do not have a live streaming option. They might decide to add one in the future, so this is something that you should keep an eye out for. Even if they did have a live streaming feature, it is not likely that they would be able to show any 2022 FIFA World Cup matches anyway because they would probably not have the broadcasting rights to do so.

4️⃣ William Hill World Cup

William Hill happens to be one of the oldest bookies out there, which is a sheer testament to just how good a sportsbook they are. Those who enjoy placing wagers on greyhound racing and horse racing often sign up with William Hill because it is a quality sports betting site for such sports, but it is also a really good bookie for those who like to place wagers on football.

5️⃣ Ladbrokes World Cup Betting Site

✔️ 2022 World Cup Betting Tips

As we’ve already touched on, the 2022 World Cup will take place in Qatar, with this representing the second consecutive controversial selection as host after Russia was chosen in 2018.

As a result, the tournament will make history as the first to be held in the Middle East, with the lavish opening ceremony and opening match (which is likely to include the hosts) scheduled to take place on November 21st.

The final will take place five weeks later on December 28th, following a slightly shorter tournament that allows for the unexpected rescheduling of the competition due to the sweltering Qatari heat in the months of June and July.

Interestingly, this iteration of the World Cup will be hosted by a country that has never contested a final match before, with this representing a genuine first in the competition’s history. Also, defending champions France will participate in qualifying as normal, so they’ll have to progress from their group if they’re to have a tilt at properly defending their hard-earned title.

📌 The Key World Cup Betting Markets

While some aspects of the 2022 World Cup may be a little different or unusual, many of the key and most popular betting markets will remain unchanged. Here are a few to keep your eyes on:

📌 The Outright Winner

Let’s start with the obvious, as you can already wager on the outright winner of the FIFA World Cup Betting tournament across a broad range of sportsbooks.

We’ve featured some selected world cup 2022 betting odds a little later in our guide, but the current favourites include France, Brazil, England and Spain.

Lionel Messi’s Argentina can also be backed at quite competitive odds at present, even after their recent Copa America success, so this may be an option to keep in mind if you fancy a potentially lucrative ante-post bet.

📌 The Top Scorer

Next up is a genuinely fascinating market and one that regularly sees unfancied winners at odds in excess of 10/1.

Russia’s Oleg Salenko was the top scorer in 1994, for example, despite only playing three games as his side was eliminated from the group stage. This is thanks to a stunning individual performance against Cameroon, when the seasoned striker plundered five goals in a 6-1 win.

Already, you can see world-class forwards like Neymar and Antoine Griezmann can be backed at around 12/1 to win the tournament’s golden boot, while the evergreen Cristiano Ronaldo boasts quite lengthy odds of 16/1.

As a general rule, we’d recommend selecting players who represent the very best sides, as they’ll typically go deeper into the tournament and afford more playing time to their strikers.

📌 The Match Result

The classic match result wager is a true staple of the sports betting market, and one that can prove to be quite lucrative in tournaments such as the World Cup.

The reason for this is simple; as there are often several mismatches during the group stages of the World Cup, which see favourites pitted against minnows from potentially disparate parts of the world.

The key is to identify matches with clear favourites and leverage handicap bets to create superior value. For example, if a fancied nation is odds-on to beat an opponent, you could consider introducing a handicap of – 1.5 or – 2.5 that compels the former to win by two or three clear goals for your wager to come in.

In some instances, this will enable you to lengthen your football world cup betting odds and increase the potential returns without overly compromising your chances of winning.

When wagering on the 2022 World Cup, it’s important to compare our licensed sportsbooks in detail to see precisely what traditional and in-play betting markets that they offer access to.

Similarly, keep in mind that some betting markets won’t become available until closer to the tournament. For example, you won’t be able to bet on group winners or qualifiers until April 2022 at the earliest, when the tournament draw is made in full

⚽ The World Cup Betting Qualifiers

With the qualifiers complete for the 2022 World Cup, there’s were a range of betting markets in the last few months that bettors could take advantage of.

The only team to earn an automatic spot in this year’s competition is Qatar, with the remaining 32 teams having to go through their confederation’s various qualifying systems. We’ve outlined these in a little more detail below:

• 🔴 UEFA

  European teams currently have 13 spots allocated, the most of any continent. All 55 UEFA nations commenced qualification in March 2021, and are divided into groups of either five or six sides. The 10 first placed finishers will qualify automatically for the World Cup, with the 10 runners-up competing for three further spots along with the best two UEFA Nations League group winners. There will be single-legged semi-finals and finals, which will be completed prior to the tournament draw in April.

• 🟠 CAF

  African sides have been allocated five spots for the 2022 World Cup, with qualification commencing in September and split into three rounds. By the third and final round, the 10 remaining sides will play home and away, with the winners of each two-legged tie qualifying for the 2022 World Cup proper.

• 🟡 AFC

  While it may sound a little strange, 4.5 Asian sides have been allocated a place in the World Cup. The competing teams commenced the first two qualifying stages in June 2019, at which point 12 sides remained in contention. They will then be split into two groups of six, with the top two from each earning a qualifying place in the tournament. The two third-place teams will then compete in an inter-confederation play-off match, where the best losers from across the globe do battle for any remaining places.

• 🟢 CONCACAF

  Under the same circumstances referenced above, North, Central American and Caribbean teams are afforded 3.5 spots in the tournament. There are three rounds to qualification here, with the first two reducing the number of competitors from 35 to just three. These sides then join the top five teams in an eight-team group, each of whom plays home and away to determine the three qualifiers. The fourth-place side will head into the inter-confederation play-offs.

• 🔵 OFC

  Oceanic sides are only given 0.5 places for the 2022 World Cup, which means that the confederation may not be represented in the tournament. Here, 11 sides will be split into two groups, with the eventual winner of a subsequent round-robin taking their place in the aforementioned inter-confederation play-offs.

• 🟣 CONMEBOL

  South American qualifying commenced in October 2020, while the confederation is also home to the straightforward process in the tournament. Put simply, the 10 CONMEBOL teams meet home and away, with the top four sides progressing to the World Cup in Qatar. Interestingly, the fifth-place side takes the last remaining place in the inter-confederation play-offs.

📊 The World Cup Groups and Fixtures

Before you even consider engaging in FIFA 2022 World Cup betting, it’s imperative that you understand the full tournament structure.

Prior to the final placings that were determined through the inter-confederation play-offs in June 2022, April will saw the qualified teams drawn into eight groups of four (with provisions made for the sides in contention for the final places).

These sides are now going to play each other once, with three points awarded for a win, one for a draw and none for a defeat.

Once the groups games are completed, the points are tallied with the top two sides progressing to the round of 16. In the event of two or more sides being tied on the same number of points, the following criteria is used to determine qualification:

• Goal difference
• Goals scored
• Points from group stage matches involving the tied teams
• Goal differential in group stage matches involving the tied teams
• Goals scored in group stage matches involving the tied teams

The round of 16 draw is fixed and seeded, with this the first of four knockout ties. Each of these are single-legged affairs, with extra-time and penalties used if the scores are level at the end of 90 minutes.

Teams are eliminated through these various methods until just two remain for the final, while the tournament also hosts a third-placed game for the losing semi-finalists. You can wager on every single game at the tournament, while also tapping into betting markets such as projected group winners and likely semi-finalists.

Below we have provided you with tables for each group where you will be able to see the fixtures that make up each one as well as the date, time, and location of the matches. We recommend that you go through these tables and make a note of those matches that you are particularly interested in placing a bet on.

⭐ FIFA World Cup Top Scorers

One of the great things about the FIFA World Cup is that we get to see many of the world's best strikers in action at the same tournament, meaning that quality goals should definitely not be in short supply. Unfortunately, we will not be seeing all of the world's top forwards because their nations failed to qualify for the competition. For example, there will be no Erling Haaland or Mohamed Salah at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Nevertheless, there will still be plenty of talented forwards on display and we are going to be following the top scorers at this year's World Cup. Below you can find a table of top scorers that we will be updating at every opportunity, and we recommend that pay close attention to it too because this is the type of information that can come in handy if you decide to place a bet on a player to score in a match or if you decide to make use of any other goal scoring market that is on offer.

🔎 FIFA World Cup Standings

Whenever you are thinking about placing a bet on a team to win in a World Cup match, there is one thing that we recommend that you do first and this is taking a look at how that team has been performing as of late. You do not want to put your hard-earned money on a team that has been out of form. An easy way to see what type of form a team is in during a competition, apart from for the first round of matches, of course, is to have a look at current group standings.

Therefore, with this firmly in mind, below you will find a table related to each of the World Cup groups, and we will update each one as the tournament is played out so that you are always up to date.

Semi-Finals

The four winners from the Quarter-Finals will battle it out in the Semi-Finals as follows:

Play-Off for Third Place

The Finals

The two winners will battle it out in the World Cup final, while the two losers will play in the 3rd/4th place play-off – the one match that no team really wants to play in.

🏁 A Brief History of the World Cup

The FIFA World Cup has a rich history, and one that can be traced back to 1930, when Uruguay defeated Argentina 4-2 in Montevideo to lift the inaugural Jules Rimet trophy.

The trophy has since been contested on 20 different occasions, with the tournament held every four years apart from during and just after the Second World War in 1942 and 1946.

The number of competing teams has increased incrementally through the years too, with just 13 sides appearing in the 1930 iteration. This increased to 16 in 1954, before rising again to a 24-team format in Spain, 1982. Then, the 1998 World Cup in France was expanded to include 32 sides, mirroring the tournament format that will be in place in Qatar.

The UEFA European Championship, or the Euros, which are also held every four years, alternate with the World Cup. In reality, EURO betting is already active and frequently provides astute bettors with a hint as to how a team is doing in terms of preparation for the upcoming World Cup.

There are 32 teams playing in the World Cup, and each of them has advanced through many qualifying stages to reach this point. Teams compete against one another throughout the tournament in an effort to advance to the championship matches, which include the quarterfinals, semi-finals, and finals.

Interestingly, the tournament will be expanded once again to 48 teams in 2026, creating a bumper World Cup with an even more convoluted format.

In terms of winners, Brazil is the most successful side with five World Cup wins (in 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994 and 2002). Next up are Germany and Italy with four wins, while the former has also appeared in a record eight finals, finishing runners-up on four occasions. We’ve listed the five most recent winners below.

Germany striker Miroslav Klose is also the tournament’s record scorer, having plundered 16 goals between 2002 and 2014. Brazil’s Ronaldo is next with 15 tournament goals (in just three tournaments), while the prolific Gerd Muller scored 14 World Cup goals across the 1970 and 1974 iterations.
