Well, in case you have been locked away in an underground bunker for the past 6 months, you´ll know that the 2010 FIFA World Cup kicks off in South Africa on Friday the 11th June as South Africa play Mexico at Soccer City Stadium in Johannesburg.
Less than 2 weeks to go! We´ll be running quite a few features here at Online Casino King, as we´ll be taking a punt on quite a few of the games.
We´ll keep you updated with all the latest news, free bet offers and promotions (on sports and casinos), not to mention all the latest odds for all the teams.
You could take a bet on Spain and Brazil, of course, if you want to go for the favorites, but there are also some juicy bets on offer for slightly more obscure topics. And of course they´ll be some big patriotic money backing England to go all the way (south and east of the borders anyway).
Some of the more unusual markets include
-Top Asian Team
-Teams to Reach Quarter Finals
-Teams to Reach Semi Finals
-Highest Scoring Team
-Highest Scoring Group
-Golden Ball Winner
-Top Goalscorer (Messi?)
