The field for the 2018 World Cup has been set. Already, online bookie agents might have seen action on the 2018 World Cup.
World Cup betting should be magnificent come next July. For now, agents must use a couple of per head tools to control future book betting on the World Cup.
The Field for the 2018 World Cup
Germany +500
France +500
Brazil +500
Spain +750
Argentina +800
The nations listed above are the only 2018 World Cup fixtures offering less than double-digit odds. Germany, the defending World Cup Champion, figures to garner the most love from future bettors.
The Germans, as always, bring a top team into the World Cup. Not only that, but because the World Cup takes place in Russia, the Germans have the shortest flight to get to the World Cup stadiums.
That should give the Germans a big advantage. France almost won UEFA in 2016. The French are loaded. Brazil will be looking to bounce back from a horrible performance in the 2018 World Cup.
Spain could also bounce back to its former great glory as a World Cup champion.
Although Argentina offers higher odds than they usually would at 8 to 1, the team might have the perfect mix of veterans, like the indomitable Lionel Messi, and youngsters, like 24-year-old Mauro Icardi.
In other words, every team listed, heck, every team offering odds to win the World Cup, has at least a slight shot to do it.
What it means is that online bookie agents must do a few things, today, to prevent huge losses in their businesses.
Set Max Betting Limits on Each Fixture
This is the most important thing for per head agents to do. They must use the mass editing tool to create individual max betting limits on all possible World Cup winners.
This includes underdog fixtures as well as favorite fixtures. Stagger the max betting limits so that the higher the odds, the lower the betting limit.
Set Total Max Betting Limits on Each Fixture
Individual max betting limits are great. However, it’s important to set a total max betting limit. If, as an example, a bookmaker doesn’t set a total max betting limit of $1,000 on Germany and the Germans win the World Cup, the total payout could be astronomical.
Raise Odds to Promote Wagering on Huge Dogs
Line movers are available through PayPerHead’s premium package. Pay per head agents should definitely raise odds on dogs to promote wagering on those dogs.
The only nations to have ever won a World Cup are:
- Brazil (5),
- Germany (4),
- Italy (4),
- Argentina (2),
- Uruguay (2),
- France (1),
- England (1),
- Spain (1).
If history is any indication, the 2018 World Cup winner will have won the World Cup before. Bookies shouldn’t wait to start implementing profit saving tools - that’s how they set their books up for failure.
Instead, they should always be prepared, use all the tools available to them, and keep a sharp eye out for any type of big sporting event.
