Bookmarkers are thrilled with the prosperity awaiting them
The development Internet has suffered (allowing to bet clients from countries where it’s not legal), payment facilities offered by credit cards and the huge interest set on the tournament, has made the expectations of benefits reach records of U$S 1,850 million for the agencies.
The image of bookmarkers took ten years to improve and the activity to become a socially accepted hobby in countries such as Spain or England. David Clark, industry’s consultant, said: “it took years to convince people that the operator wouldn’t disappear or break your legs if you lost”.
How much does the favorite pay?
Brazil is the favorite to win. A team filled with stars has caught the attention of fans around the world. The bets for Brazil pay 3.9 times the invested amount in case they raise the cup, a little less than Germany, which pays 8. Next is England with 9 and Argentina with 10.
You can also bet who is going to get the “Golden Boot”. To the moment, the players heading the list are Adriano and Ronaldo, followed by Crespo and Ronaldinho.
