With the 2010 FIFA World Cup almost here, football fans the world over are becoming increasingly excited as the best players from the best teams prepare to do battle for the coveted World Cup trophy in South Africa. Similarly, football betting fans are putting their money where their mouths are, by laying all manner of World Cup bets with the best online sports books.
VC Bet, for instance, one of the most popular and trusted online sportbooks in the UK is already doing a brisk trade in World Cup football betting. One of its most popular betting lines is
World Cup Top Goalscorer and for good reason. Despite the fact that the world's top goalscorers will be in South Africa (except for those out due to injury), football betting fans have to ask themselves just how those players will cope under the pressure of playing in the world's most important and widely watched football tournament? Because some players will undoubtedly feel the pressure more than others.
It's questions like this that makes betting on the World Cup Top Goalscorer at VC Bet so exciting. VC Bet has laid odds on the 'cream of the crop' of international goalscorers starting at the top. Leading the way is Spain's David Villa at 15/2 odds, Argentina's Lionel Messi at 9/1, Brazil's Luis Fabiano at 10/1 and England's Wayne Rooney at 10/1. The list goes on all the way down to Serbia's Marko Pantelię 80/1, Paraguay's Salvador Cabanas 150/1 and Slovakia's Robert Vittek 150/1.
