you may or may not have noticed betting shops located all around germany, but i thought it would be excellent to let everyone know that the US are getting 4 to 1 to win against the czechs!

Hmmmm... wonder if TAB SportsBet here is offering the same odds. Might be worth a look. :cool:

according to willhill, it's the other way around. maybe you read the odd wrong

No, by that reference, it has the USA as the "home" team, getting 3.75 for each one pound wagered.

3.75 is equal to 11/4, so on that site the US to win is getting just under 3 to 1...:)
On a side note, the bookies have tomorrows Dutch-S&M match priced quite similar to US-Czechs...

18030 4.1 USA
18031 3.3 DRAW
18032 1.8 CZECH REPUBLIC

That's it... I'm going down there later today and having a punt on us winning.

Also, the odds on the first goal-scorer, that's worth a good look, too...

[babytiger2001]

And they're still taking bets on the winner of Group E (http://www.tab.com.au/sportsbet/ASP/returns.asp?mode=3&CompID=833&GroupID=69224&EventDesc=2006+World+Cup+Group+E+Winner&SportName=Soccer&SportID=3&CompName=World+Cup+Futures)...

Group
61023 1.85 ITALY
61024 11 GHANA
61025 7.25 UNITED STATES
61026 2.85 CZECH REPUBLIC

Sounds like an excuse to print money, to me. :)

yes, that means USA is underdog, Czech is the upper hand. If you wager $1, you will get $1.90 back if you put your money on Czech (that means you only win $.90) or $3.75 back if you put your money on USA (that means you only win $2.75).

I wouldn't bet on USA. That means the bookies are in Czech favor heavily. I would rather bet on at least a draw. but for fun, of course, bet on USA is good

I just bet on Bet365... US to win or a draw, so as long as we dont lose Ill win somethin back.
