Brazil World Cup: Some Bets To Ponder

Nobody will be wanting to bet on Brazil to beat North Korea in their Tuesday matchup.  That's because the price tag is the highest we've seen yet for this World Cup.  The cost is a very sick -1300.  Yes you would have to lay US$130 to win US$10 at online betting sites the likes of BetUS.com.

There are alternatives, the least of which being you can bet on North Korea to shock Brazil at +2200 odds (the payout US$220 for every US$10 bet).  How about the draw paying just shy of US$100?

Or you can bet the alternative lines being offered at BetUS.com.

But there are fun high paying Correct Score bets being featured at the popular online betting site for both the full game and halftime. 

BetUS.com has First Goal Scorer odds with Clemente Luis Fabiano just slightly favored and paying out US$30 for every US$10 bet.

Any Time Scorer odds, Number of Goals in the Game and more were being offered as well.

North Korea's selections are usually surrounded in mystery. Using the bulk of players that helped them through qualifying, they will line-up in a 4-5-1 formation, the BBC reports.

But this is a battle between the highest-ranked team at the World Cup versus the lowest ranked.  Think Professional Sports Team vs. High School Sports Team.  If North Korea even pulls off a draw, this will be one of the biggest shockers in World Cup history.

From the BBC:

The North Korean squad enchanted fans during their fairytale run to the quarter-finals at the 1966 World Cup, but their 2010 incarnation is a different beast altogether. Their team seem to embody elements of their political regime back home, shrouded in secrecy, patriotic to the extreme and intensely distrusting of the media.

The BBC added: "While you can be sure of Brazil cracking a smile or two during the World Cup, don't expect the serious North Koreans to celebrate an unlikely goal with a samba shuffle of their own."
