    Since the WC fever is building - what do people think of the Group winners

    Just looking at them, there are a few that stand out

    - Holland are 4-5 to top their Group
    - Brazil are 4-6 to top their Group
    - Spain are 1-3 to top their Group
    - Argentina are 8-15 to top their Group

    Groups here

    Holland , Spain and Brazil treble pays 3-1

    I think Holland are a great price at 4-5. Their first game is against Denmark which should ultimately decide who tops the Group. If it ends a draw Holland should still out-score the rest of the teams to top the Group.

    There looks to be some decent prices on the individual matches too eg

    Holland 8-15 to beat Japan (2nd match)
    Argentina 4-6 to beat Nigeria (1st match)

    PS Mods I have posted this in the Gambling Forum but tbh there are only a couple of people that read the Gambling forum so I thought I would post it here as well. Just looking for some insight.

    The Holland one worries me a bit as I think it's quite a competitive group. Then again 4/5 isn't a bad price but I don't think it's a particularly great one either. I'd probably stay away...

    Brazil/Spain/England could be worth a shout, although obviously wouldn't pay as well.

    I'll def be doing a few of these bets but will probably wait til a bit closer to the time

    Dark horses for the win in the group stages for me - Uruguay and Serbia. No idea if the odds are good on either though (not a betting man).

    Yeah they'd be my dark horses,Germany are hit and miss and if they're miss,Ghana or Serbia can take control of that group

    Spain at 1-3 are an absolute certainty. A double with Brazil pays 6-5. Would be a major surprise if either of those two don't top their groups.

    Holland at 4-5 is interesting alright. The Dutch group looks superficially strong on paper but on closer inspection it's not that great. Denmark are abviously decent but Cameroon are not hectic right now and Japan, even though they'll be competitive you'd have to think Holland will have a bit too much for them. Beat Denmark in the first game and Holland are all but certain to top the group.
