As the number of teams now still left in this year’s FIFA World Cup soccer tournament are rapidly decreasing, there are now fewer and fewer unique types of betting opportunities still on offer and available to anyone wishing to have a punt on this four yearly soccer knockout tournament.
However, there is one bet that is going to still be available right up until the final game in the World Cup and that is the Top Goal Scorer bet. This is simply a wager on which you have to name the player who you think is going to score the most goals on each match in the tournament right up until the referee blows the final whilst on the last game of the tournament.
Obviously the number of players left in the tournament is getting lower and lower as many teams have flown back home having been knocked out, so below we have listed the players most likely to be named the top goal scorer of the 2014 World Cup, and alongside each of them are their current odds of being named the top goal scorer.
If you wish to place a wager on any of the listed players below then make sure you do as quickly as you can for these odds are likely to change when the next match is played!
- James Rodriguez – It is an odd’s on bet if you think that James Rodriguez is going to be crowned the highest scoring player of this year’s World Cup for his odds are currently at or around 10/11, so you will not get rich having a bet on this player!
- Thomas Muller – The current second favourite player to be named at the highest goal scorer is Thomas Muller, and whilst he may just achieve it on the remaining games to be played his odds are somewhat restrictive at just 2/1.
- Lionel Messi – The current odds available on Lionel Messi to be named the top goal scorer are 7/2 and many shrewd bettors are having a small wager on him scoring a batch of goals on the remaining matches he is pencilled in to play.
- Arjen Robben – You will get odds of 33/1 if you think Arjen Robben is going to be the top goal scorer in this soccer tournament!
- Robin Van Persie – Even though many punters thought Robin Van Persie was going to bang in the back of the net the most goals at the start of the World Cup Tournament he hasn’t scored as many goals as hoped and his odds on being the top goal scorer are huge at 33/1!
