In William Hill World Cup 2018 odds you have England at 16/1 odds* (Betting odds taken at 11:46 p.pm. on June 4, 2018) to go all the way and lift the trophy. It would be a stunning run from Gareth Southgate’s men if they could be in the match on Sunday, July 15. The odds are stacked against the Three Lions going all the way and while they may be comfortable through the group stage and potentially the first knockout phase, where things start getting down to heavy business is at the quarter-final stage when it becomes hard to avoid stiff challenges.

History suggests a front-runner will win
In fact, in this summer’s campaign, England would meet either Brazil or Germany in the quarter-finals if things all play out to form. At the end of the day winning the World Cup is not going to be done by coasting through against lower quality teams. That is why when you look back at the history of the World Cup you will see only eight previous nations who have tasted success and of those 20 previous editions of the famous tournament, between them Brazil and Germany have won almost half of those (9). So really when it comes to the World Cup that is something to bear in mind for your 2018 World Cup betting at William Hill. You are generally just looking at picking a winner from a small handful of nations.
If you look at William Hill World Cup 2018 odds in the outright winner market you have Brazil, Germany, Spain France and Argentina as the only nations heading to Russia 2018 as single figure options in the betting market. That pretty much leaves the rest of the field trailing in their wake. You look back at the history of the recent World Cups, say the last ten, and you will see the same names re-occurring again and again in the showcase match which means that it is just so hard for an underdog to come through and produce.
A team only has to get through seven games to win the World Cup and while that doesn’t sound like much it’s an enormously tough thing to achieve. The main outsiders in the William Hill World Cup outright winner market are Belgium, England and the current reigning European champions Portugal who are the longest-priced of those at 25/1* (Betting odds taken at 11:46 p.pm. on June 4, 2018). Realistically the only way to back a long shot is to do it through an each way option or to go and explore the ‘to reach the final’ market.
World Cup Betting Variety
You are pretty much just inundated with options in World Cup 2018 betting at William Hill. This variety is a wonderful thing because it allows you to explore great alternative options and it adds new dimensions of excitement opposed to just backing one team to win the tournament outright and then waiting a month to see if they do. Some more exciting markets available are in the group stage where for example England are 11/8 underdogs* (Betting odds taken at 11:46 p.pm. on June 4, 2018) against Belgium to win Group G. That may offer appeal and because the two European nations in that group are expected to dominate easily then an alternative option perhaps to look at is a Belgium/England straight forecast at 11/10 odds at William Hill* (Betting odds taken at 11:46 p.pm. on June 4, 2018).
With so many matches happening in the group stage of the tournament which lasts a fortnight then it presents a great opportunity to build World Cup multiples. On most days during the group stage campaign, there will be a least three games being played. So you could go out and build yourself a multiple each day in various formats such as picking a Trixie or Patent from three selections. In the final round of group stage matches there will be four games each day and that leads you on to building accumulators.
World Cup Accumulators
World Cup 2018 accumulators can be built at William Hill on a wide range of options and here again, even though match outrights are going to be the most common staples of accumulators you don’t have to be narrowed into just that method. You can build, for example, an accumulator made out of simply over/under 2.5 goals options across different matches, or both teams to score selections. Really you have an endless choice of options to form your World Cup 2018 accumulators out of.
So you have a whole month of top World Cup 2018 betting ahead of you so don’t just be boxed into the main markets. Take some time and have a browse around for alternative options and you might find some nice value wonders in there. Another way to approach your World Cup betting when it comes to the matches, is to wait for the kick-off and enjoy a wealth of life in play betting opportunities to complement your William Hill World Cup 2018 outright odds.
