Some pundits are suggesting that Sven has taken his eye off the ball…In World Cup year! Sven says he will bring back the trophy, and bookmakers back this opinion – making England 7/1 2nd Favourites. But I don’t trust bookmakers or Sven….
So when I was told about a fantastic strategy to hedge a bet on England I snapped it up.
And when I then found out that you could get advice like this FREE, every week - then I knew I had to tell you about this fantastic Sports Betting service.

If you have a bet on England to Win the World Cup, to ‘hedge’ it and protect your outlay you will need them to get to the final.
If you bet each-way, you only need England to reach the Semi Finals to have the opportunity to hedge - as you have a guaranteed return from the final. But there’s no value from an each-way bet here.
Bookies are offering half the win odds if England get to the final – that’s currently 7/2.
Instead, you can get far better value by making two separate bets. The first is on England to win the World Cup at 7/1, or greater. The second bet is on England to be World Cup Runners-p – currently available at between 8/1 and 13/2.
This strategy might actually produce a higher return if we, sorry – England - were beaten in the final (if you can get on at 8/1) and a lower win if we were to win the World Cup (7/1).
But what’s important to us as investors is that by striking two separate bets we’d have a great chance to ensure a profit whatever happened. That’s because we’d have equal profits in the final rather than one biased heavily toward in England win.
If you placed a one-point each-way wager at the moment, you would be looking at the following returns:
England to be Winners 10.5% point’s profit
England to be Runners-up: 2.5% points profit
Great if we win, but no opportunity for hedged profits if we don’t. So at the Semi-Final stage we’re faced with either a ‘lay’ of England in the outright market, or to sit on our hands and hope for a win.
However, by placing two separate bets (and I suggest two points on each) – one on the win and the other to finish as Runners-up, you will end up with:
England to be Winners: 12 points profit
England to be Runners-up: 14 point’s profit.
That’s far better for us, as it gives the opportunity to turn this into a profit-only bet as more options open up. And to keep an eye on what those options will be, simply sign up for your own weekly copy of Sports Xtra.
