The time has come. Men and women from all over the world has been waiting in anticipation for this for months and now that it’s finally here, it’s hard to comprehend it completely. But it is true, the World Cup 2014 in Brazil starts tonight with a blast between Brazil and Croatia at the Arena de Sao Paulo Stadium.

The kickoff will be at 22.00 CET and it is for certain that half of the world will be watching when the home team will try to play samba football and win the match. Despite tons of tension up to the starting match, it seems that everything is now under control and that things will be running smoothly tonight.

But now for the most interesting part for those of us who are not from any of the countries who are playing at this year’s world cup – betting on the matches. Needless to say, Brazil is a huge favourite for tonight’s match, but since it is the World Cup, nothing is ever granted in terms of victories.

Odds on Brazil as a winner at Bet365 is down to a mere 1.33, while the odds for a victory for Croatia is all the way at odds 13.00. If you believe in a draw, then odds 5.00 is quite good value. Double chances however is far from valuable to bet on, as a Brazil to win/draw is at odds 1.050, which means that you get €50 profits for each €1,000 you bet. Good luck with your betting tonight.
