World Cup: All The Socceroos Odds
March 12th, 2014 by G WaldorfWe’re inside 100 days – the Socceroos will already be in Brazil for the World Cup by the time those 100 days are up, and they will already have played that vital first game against Chile. We know a few things for sure, looking forwards: Australia are up against it in a tough group, and coach Ange Postecoglu will pick a young side to take on that challenge, which is arguably his best strategy. It won’t feel like an exercise in team building for the future, of course, when the action starts to hot up in Brazil, but the reality is that the Socceroos will be heroes if they can qualify.
So what are the bets that are on offer for Australia in the 2014 World Cup? The outright bet for the Socceroos to lift the trophy is a long one: $501.00 to be precise. But there’s plenty more on offer at Sportsbet right now, including some specials. And, bearing in mind that there’s plenty of time for them to dream up more offers and promotions between now and Australia’s first game, we’re expecting to see many more, too.

Australia are a $1.07 bet to go out in the group stage, where you’ll get $9.00 if they exit at the last-16 stage, $41.00 if it’s a quarter-final defeat, and they get higher and higher after that! You can lay down a bet that the Socceroos will get out of Group B at $8.00, and that they’ll score at least the one goal at $1.22, but that might be more optimistic than you’re feeling. Looking at it the other way, try odds of $4.00 that there are no goals in the Australia tally when they go out, or a $2.20 bet that that the Socceroos
We’ll be bringing you all the news as we hear it between now and the World Cup in Brazil, plus the up-to-date odds as we get them. We’ll be taking a look, too at the tournament favourites, and the teams in Group B with Australia, plus the teams that they might face if they make it out of the ‘group of death’. Watch this space!
