2011 Cricket World Cup Betting and Odds
The Cricket World Cup is world's the premier one day international cricket tournament and is hosted by a different country every four years. As the fourth most viewed sports event in the world it attracts hundreds of thousands of Cricket World Cup betting fans. Organized by cricket's governing body,
(who incidentally do not allow us to mention their name for copyright reasons), the inaugural Cricket World Cup was played in England in 1975. It was won by the West Indies who beat Australia by 17 runs. Since then the Cricket World Cup has come to represent the pinnacle of international men's cricket.
Since its inception, the following countries have taken part in the Cricket World Cup although some are no longer involved: The West Indies, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, England, New Zealand, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Kenya, Bangladesh, Ireland, Canada, Netherlands, Scotland, Bermuda, Namibia and the United Arab Emirates. Ahead of every competition Cricket World Cup betting fans have their work cut out for them as they must consider how each team has performed internationally over the previous four years before placing their bets.
But a big favourite amongst Cricket World Cup betting fans is Australia, which has the distinction of being the only country to have won the Cricket World Cup four times - in 1987, 1999, 2003 and most recently in 2007. As such Australia will no doubt be highly touted to win the 2011 Cricket World Cup, which will be hosted by India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
