Betfred World Cup Betting

Ah, now this is what I like to see when I visit a World Cup betting site! Betfred is fully involved in the World Cup and displays World Cup articles and information right on their special World Cup football page.

In business since 1967, Betfred was founded by Fred and Peter Done.  The brothers opened their first betting shop in Salford, UK.

All these years later, Betfred lays claim to the title of the “World's biggest independent bookmaker” thanks to their network of over 750 betting shops in the UK, and their online betting and gaming sites.

Betfred are also the official in-stadium and online gaming partner for Wembley Stadium.

With an annual turnover in excess of £1.5 billion, Betfred are one of the top four bookmakers in the UK. And if you’re a ‘Scoop 6’ fan, you’ll recall that Betfred has the honours of creating the first 'betting shop millionaire' when one lucky punter was handed a cheque for over £1m in winnings from a 'Scoop 6' bet handled by Betfred.

But let’s get back to Betfred World Cup betting, because that’s where all the action is as far as I’m concerned.

Besides Bedfred’s obvious interest in providing in-depth news coverage of the World Cup event, not just fielding their customer’s bets, Betfred is offering a free bet match up to £50 when you open a new account. This is a great deal and just in time to bet the World Cup.

Visit the Betfred World Cup football section and you’ll find an assortment of World Cup special markets including World Cup Final (Brazil vs, Spain at 8/1), Winning Continent (Europe 2/5), Reach Finals (Spain 2/1), and several more World Cup betting options.

Betfred has Spain as their favourite for outright win (who doesn’t?) with odds at 4/1 on the day I visited. Brazil was at 5/1, and England was listed at 11/2. Everybody’s least favourite team, or so it seems, is New Zealand at 1000/1.

One of the great features of the Betfair web site is their live commentary feature. You can click and listen to live play-by-play football commentary for all games in play. This is going to be a great feature for people who are working on their computers during World Cup and can’t afford the time to sit in front of the telly. Don’t forget to check it out when you’re on the Betfred site.

With all their special markets, and the £50 Free Bet promo, Betfred is a World Cup betting site that’s worth a visit.
