 Online bookmakers are rejoicing. Yesterday's upset at the World Cup has caused quite a stir as World Cup favorites teeter on early elimination. Mexico's victory over France has all but ended the French team's chance of making it to the finals. France which won the World Cup in 1998 and finished second in 2006 was a popular gambling choice for many bettors and their failure has changed the betting field dramatically.
Online gambling odds have seen France drop from an 18-1 chance of coming out on top to an abysmal 125-1 chance. Meanwhile, Mexico is paying only half their early odds, with a current 40-1 chance of becoming the world football champions.
Now bookmakers are starting to eye a few other major teams to face an early fall. Italy and England both preformed below expectations in the early days of the tournament series and anything less than victories over lightly regarded New Zealand and Algeria could shuffle the odds even further in bookmakers' favor.
Sports betting is always a gamble but it's upsets like this one which keep things interesting. For those who put their money on the French team early we send our condolences but for those who put their money on Argentina or Brazil your chances are looking better every day.
To place a bet on the team you think is destined for the top now that France is out of the running visit Bodog today and get the most for your money with up to the minute stats and betting during matches.
