Introduction to FIFA World Cup Odds
The FIFA World Cup is the most popular sporting event in the world, drawing viewers from all over the globe and giving people the chance to vehemently support their nation as they take on the other powers of the world. Teams qualify for the World Cup through different matches and based on their regions, ultimately leading to a group stage, and then a bracket-style knockout.
FIFA World Cup odds are simply betting odds given to matches during the competition, which comes up every four years. Countries take turns hosting the event on a rotating basis, and each host is pre-determined plenty of years in advance.

How to Read FIFA World Cup Odds
FIFA World Cup betting lines most commonly come in the form of moneylines, which allow bettors to wager on a Team A win, Team B win, or draw.
Now, this may seem confusing as World Cup matches in the knockout stage cannot end in a draw, but that does not affect the betting market. Outcomes are determined at the end of regulation, which is the usual 90 minutes plus extra time, and any additional added time or penalty shootouts do not affect the moneyline.
Outcomes with the lowest value are the favorite, while the higher values are the underdog(s). FIFA World Cup odds preceded with “-” are almost always the favorite and indicate negative value, while odds with “+” indicate positive value, or a chance to win more money for bettors.
How to Bet on the FIFA World Cup
FIFA World Cup betting odds do not come up too often, given that the competition is only once every four years. Bettors can place futures bets on teams to win World Cup groups or the entire event, as well as player or match props, goal totals, Asian handicaps, and others.

FAQs
Where do I find FIFA World Cup odds?
Because the World Cup is so big, betting odds will likely be the headliner on nearly every sportsbook while the event is going.
What team do I bet on?
There are nations with histories of winning the World Cup, but plenty of upsets still happen. Finding teams that have the “easiest” path to the final often helps bettors because they are betting on a team with a greater likelihood of at least playing for the final.
How do teams make the bracket?
There are eight groups of four countries at the start of the World Cup; the top two finishers in each group advance.
