Survivor: Soccer Edition

Qatar beat the leaders in terms of underdog FIFA World Cup odds, the USA, to host this year’s tournament by 14 votes against eight. And it hasn’t been smooth sailing since this decision was announced. Corruption concerns over this decision almost immediately hit the newsstands. Critics cited Qatar’s harsh Islamic laws, its controversial human rights record, and its status as the hottest country on earth. Despite these concerns, the tournament is in the clear and will go ahead this year.

The hottest day ever recorded in Qatar was 50.4°C in 2010 and early group games are likely to see temperatures between 19°C and 26°C. NZ bettors should take this into account alongside Soccer World Cup odds when making their predictions and commencing their soccer betting online.

Not only will teams and players have to contend with stiff competition on the field, but they’ll also have to battle altitude. Not to mention fatigue, heat, shifts in time zones, training, and travel. It may literally pay to factor in these issues when you’re Soccer World Cup betting this year.

Popular Soccer World Cup Betting Markets

Because live betting has you wagering on games as they’re unfolding, knowing the minute-to-minute 2022 World Cup odds will be a huge advantage! Instead of predicting what might happen before a match starts, you need to call on your knowledge of teams, players, and games to make instant calls.

Placing live wagers doesn’t mean you can’t take part in traditional betting types, either. Many NZ bettors enjoy a little of each group and enjoy similar betting options when trying out the horse racing betting on offer too.

Combine your knowledge of Soccer World Cup odds with what’s actually happening in front of you to correctly predict which team will score next, for example. Or take this further and name the next player to make a goal or see if you know what time the next point will be recorded. Perhaps you have a sense of which players will be booked next? Or you’re sure which squad will be the next one to have a shot? You may even be able to tell what time the next corner will be.

Many Kiwis feel that live FIFA World Cup betting is the best way to wager on Soccer games. It’s exciting enough to appeal to recreational bettors and it can be profitable enough to appeal to more experienced ones, too.
