Odds on Japan to Win Group E

The Japanese start out the World Cup as a part of Group E, which consists of teams from the Netherlands, Denmark and Cameroon. However, of all of these teams, the Japanese are expect to come in dead last. For those who still brave enough to place their faith in Japan, you can hopefully win big at Bet365.com with odds at 11.00. If you are in the United States, Bet365 is unavailable to you, but Bodog.com offers the same odds and accepts American wagers.

Odds on Japan to Win Overall

With little hope in the Japanese team to be the big Group E winner, there is also little hope in the team taking the 2010 World Cup Trophy home with them. Most betting sites are placing Japan in the bottom five teams overall, which is not a great place for a sure bet. Ladbrokes.com is listing odds of an overall Japanese win at 126.00. However, if the Japanese do somehow pull off a miracle and win the 2010 World Cup, you can rake in a healthy prize at Bet365 as the bookmaker is listing the odds at a whopping 210.00. That means for every wager of 10 Euros on Japan, you will yield a return of 2100 if they actually beat the odds. If you are an American, Bodog will accept your World Cup bet and lists the odds at 300.00. It is unlikely that the Japanese will manage an overall victory this year, but keep in mind that anything can happen. After all a long shot that gets lucky can be very lucrative.
