Think you might know which teams are going through and which go home after the group games? Here are some of the odds for you to consider:

Top Goal Scorer
It starts to get interesting when you have all the best players in the world competing to bring the glory back home to their countries, but who will win the bragging rights of being the 2018 World Cup top goal scorer? Here are some of your options:
Lionel Messi +1000 (Bet $100 to win $1000)
Neymar +900 (Bet $100 to win $900)

Antoine Griezmann +1200 (Bet $100 to win $1200)
Bottom of the Group
If picking the 1st and 2nd place of each group doesn’t interest you, then how about picking which teams will finish at the bottom of the group? How about…
GROUP A – Saudi Arabia -250 (Bet $250 to win $100)
GROUP B – Iran -140 (Bet $140 to win $100)

Total Goals
If you can pick who will be the top-scorer, can you predict how many goals will a particular player have? You might count on Messi winning the honor of netting the most goals, but how many those will be is another question entirely:
Messi – Over 3 ½ -145 – Under 3 ½ +115
Neymar – Over 4 -125 – Under 4 -105
Lewandowski – Over 3 ½ -115 – Under 3 ½ -115
Griezmann – Over 3 -115 – Under 3 -115
Costa – Over 3 -115 – Under 3 -115
Winning Continent
Teams from America usually don’t fare well in World Cups held in Europe and the same is somewhat true for when it’s held on the other side of the ocean (except of course for Germany whose players are frankly from another world).
Europe -275 (Bet $275 to win $100)
South America +200 (Bet $100 to win $200)
Rest of World +3300 (Bet $100 to win $3,300)
World Cup Finalists
We all have our favorites to win or at the very least to make it to the final. Which teams realistically have a chance is up for discussion but, here are the odds for some of “would be” finalists and more:
Argentina and Belgium +4000 (Bet $100 to win $4,000)
Argentina and Brazil +2200 (Bet $100 to win $2,200)
Belgium and Germany +3300 (Bet $100 to win $3,300)
Brazil and Spain +1800 (Bet $100 to win $1,800)
Brazil and Germany +1200 (Bet $100 to win $1,200)

Germany and Spain +2800 (Bet $100 to win $2,800)
France and Germany +1400 (Bet $100 to win $1,400)
Golden Glove
Yes, the Golden Glove may not be as glamourous as the Golden Ball (more on this to follow), but goal keepers deserve as much and perhaps more credit for a team’s success. Here are some of the candidates:
Manuel Neuer +350 (Bet $100 to win $350)
David De Gea +400 (Bet $100 to win $400)
Ramses Alisson +450 (Bet $100 to win $450)
Hugo Lloris +700 (Bet $100 to win $700)
Thibaut Courtois +1000 (Bet $100 to win $1,000)

And so, let’s end things with the Golden Ball which is the equivalent of the MVP award for the World Cup.
Neymar +800 (Bet $100 to win $800)
Lionel Messi +900 (Bet $100 to win $900)
Antoine Griezmann +1200 (Bet $100 to win $1,200)
