The UK online bookmaker William Hill (WillHill.com) was probably the first bookie to release betting odds for the 2014 World Cup. The day after the final game between Holland and Spain the World Cup betting odds for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil were available on the William Hill website.

It probably comes as no surprise that Will Hill have put the host nation Brazil as the number one favorite to win the entire 2014 World Cup. The second favorite is currently defending champion Spain.

What is very surprising though is that France is one of the top 10 rated teams according to Will Hill and so is Italy. Considering how these two teams performed this year they have a long way to go before they will even manage to qualify for the 2014 World Cup.
