USA vs. Germany Vegas odds had Germany as a big favorite at -175 requiring a US$17.50 bet to win US$10. USA pays big if they should win outright. A US$100 bet pays US$800 or US$80 for every US$10 bet. 60% of those betting this matchup were backing the USA to win. The Draw, our personal favorite here at Gambling911.com, pays US$23. Both teams advance with a tie, even if the final score is 0-0. Things that make you go hmmmmm.
The LVH opened the U.S. at +850 to win the game, with Germany the -130 favorite and a draw offered at +160.
The sportsbooks are likely to be packed as will the sports bars, unusual for a Thursday mid-day period on the East Coast and late morning hours across much of the rest of America.
Historic television ratings were reported for the USA matchup with Portugal this past Sunday with 24.7 million television viewers.
ESPN got 18.2 million viewers while 6.5 million more watched on Spanish-language network Univision.
