South African Casino Players Look Forward to FIFA World Cup this Month

South Africa may not be playing in the FIFA World Cup in Russia this month, but South Africans from Johannesburg to Capetown will certainly be watching all the action. South Africa’s Springbok Casino asked players on who they’d like to win and who they think will win. Brazil and Germany are the favourites!

Springbok has just published an online 2018 Soccer World Cup scrapbook that shows the results of the survey and takes a look at the teams that will be competing in Russia. There’s also a section on some surprising four-legged soccer enthusiasts.

2018 Soccer World Cup group stage matches start June 14th. 32 teams will be battling for the title. Although Springbok players seem convinced that either Brazil or Germany will be victorious, they also like England, Spain and Australia.

The casino’s web page about the Brazilian team reminds us that Brazil is almost synonymous with the game. For Brazilians, soccer is more than a sport, it’s is a way of life, played on playing fields, streets and beaches all over the country. On Springbok’s 2018 Soccer World Cup pages, a video on the team shows why they are so loved at home and favoured around the world.

Springbok’s FIFA World Cup articles include information on two underdogs that South Africans will also be watching.  Nigeria’s team, nicknamed the Super Eagles, has been a top soccer contender since the 60s and could surprise everyone in Russia.  Costa Rican’s also love soccer and, while they aren’t really expected to win the World Cup, South African’s love them anyway.

Springbok is also sharing a collection of videos that show that even African animals love soccer.  In one video, two orphaned Cheetah cubs show legwork worthy of Benni McCarthy. In another, Lions enjoy a friendly match.

“You might think elephants are too big and heavy to run around with a football,” said Springbok’s manager, Daniel van Wyck. “But check out our video of sporty elephant calves living at an orphanage in Kenya. After lessons from Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure, they’ve got some impressive moves!”

For the month of June, Springbok is giving free spins on its popular soccer slot game, Football Frenzy.

Semi-Final Win Puts Germany in Pole Position for World Cup Glory

No one saw Tuesday's semi-final result coming. Many predicted Brazil would struggle without Neymar and Thiago Silva, but few could have anticipated a German side with three goals in two knockout games suddenly putting seven past the hosts.

It is little surprise, therefore, that Jogi Löw's team are favorites for the final against Argentina. The Germans are -154 with Intertops.eu to lift the trophy after Sunday's final, with Alejandro Sabella's Argentina - who snuck past the Netherlands on penalties - available at +120 (all odds are subject to change).

Colombian star James Rodriguez currently leads the race for the Golden Boot with six goals, but Colombia were eliminated in the quarter-finals, so Germany's Thomas Müller can overtake the Monaco player with two goals in the final. Rodriguez is the -200 favorite for the Golden Boot, with Müller (+200) his only realistic challenger.

If you make a deposit with Intertops before the final, you will automatically receive a 20% bonus up to $100. And what's more, any pre-match bet on the final of $10 or more will be matched in the form of a free live bet (the maximum free bet awarded is $50).

World Cup Hosts Face Big Test in Saturday's Match Against Chile

A lot of us would like to see World Cup hosts Brazil win the championship but Chile may have something to say about that! Brasil may have have cruised through their group in first place but now they face a big test in the second round against fellow South American side Chile. AllYouBet.ag favors Brazil to move into the quarter-finals with a win in the pick of the second-round matches on Saturday.

Luiz Felipe Scolari's Brazil team are strong favorites at -167 and are yet to lose in their first home World Cup since 1950. Chile impressed when knocking out holders Spain, but are +450 outsiders to shock the host nation in Belo Horizonte (all odds are subject to change).

"Brazil were slow to start, but with the 4-1 win against Cameroon they showed real signs of being a potential World Cup winner," AllYouBet's oddsmaker said. "Still, we shouldn't underestimate Chile. Five different players have scored goals for Jorge Sampaoli's team, so we know they are capable of threatening from a number of routes."

Brazilian golden boy Neymar has impressed in the first three matches, and is now one of the favorites with AllYouBet to win the Golden Boot, awarded to the tournament's top scorer. The 22-year-old can be backed at +250.

Intertops’ $100,000 World Cup Bracket Fuels US Football Frenzy

World Cup Wagers Could Win Super Bowl Trip

In the days leading up to the US team’s opener against England this weekend, America has never been more excited about the World Cup. To fuel that fire, Intertops Sportsbook is offering a chance to win $100,000 by correctly predicting the winners of all 64 matches, or a trip to the Super Bowl just for placing a World Cup Wager.

While Americans may be rooting for their team, Intertops’ bookmakers favor Spain (+350), Brazil (+450) and England (+600) to take the World Cup home from South Africa.

“I think we have a tough group,” said U.S. National Team Head Coach Bob Bradley. “Of course, so much attention has been put on the first match against England. The spotlight on that game is huge. We look forward to just going match by match and understanding what it takes to advance.”

Picking 64 winners may be a challenge, but entering Intertops’ World Cup Bracket is easy and doesn’t cost a cent. Registered Intertops players can just go to www.intertops.com/worldcup2010 to click on their selections.

Entering to win a trip to next year’s Super Bowl is even easier. Every dollar wagered at Intertops Sportsbook on World Cup matchups earns one ticket in their draw for a luxury trip to Super Bowl XLV in Texas. The prize includes luxury hotel accommodation and 2 top tickets to see the game at Cowboys Stadium.

Odds for every World Cup match, from the South Africa vs Mexico game that begins the tournament to the final game, are posted at Intertops.com. Intertops, which was the very first to take online wagers and continues to be one of the most popular and trusted betting sites in the world, is also taking bets on who’ll make it to the Quarter Final, Semi Final and Final, on the Total Group Score, on the stage of elimination of each team and much, much more. Spain’s David Villa (+800), Argentina’s Lionel Messi (+900) and England’s Wayne Rooney (+900) are favorites to take Top Goal Scorer right now, but Intertops will update those and all other odds on a daily basis.

All World Cup odds quoted are as of today and are subject to change.
