Odds on USA to Win Group C

This year, Team USA is a part of Group C, which consists of England, Slovenia and Algeria. There is not much competition from the latter two, but England is the over favorite for this group with betting sites. However, if USA should win for its group, you can expect a nice payout from Bet365 as the site lists the odds on USA at 6.00. If you are actually from the USA, you will need to place your bet at a different website as Bet365 is not available to you. Try Bodog, who gives USA better odds on winning at 4.00.

Odds on USA to Win Overall

Although USA is not a favorite to win, there are still worst bets you could make. Most betting sites put USA just outside of the top 10 teams to win, which means a USA overall win isn’t impossible, but may be improbable. If you still want to take the chance, Bet365 is giving USA odds of 67.00 of an overall win. American users can place their bets at Bodog, which has more faith in a USA win, giving the odds at 50.00. If USA does manage to win, you can expect some nice payouts from these sites, so sometimes it pays to root for the underdog.
