Currently the safest bet is the combination of Spain and David Villa at $23, while England with Wayne Rooney and Brazil with Luis Fabiano are both at $34.
Considered to be the ‘Big Four’ are Spain, Brazil, England and Argentina, and they are at odds to win the 2010 World Cup finals at $1.62, while one of the remaining 28 nations to win has odds of $2.20.

The current European champions are looking the favourites to be knocked out through a penalty shootout at $5, while the remaining three of the ‘Big Four’ are all at $5.50.
While Spain are currently favourites to win the 2010 World Cup at $5, it is interesting to see that the odds for whether or not the new champions will be first time winners is leaning in the way of no at $1.57 – while yes, which would include Spain is at $2.25.
Looking to be the winning confederation is UEFA (Europe) at $1.44, while CONMEBOL (South America) is at $3 – with a big jump down to CAF (Africa) at $15.
Favourite to walk away from the 2010 World Cup finals with the golden boot is Argentina’s Lionel Messi at $8.
Considered to be one of the more prestigious awards to be handed out during the tournament, the Golden Boot is given out to the player considered to have been the best throughout the course of the competition.
Spain has two strong contenders through Villa and Xavi, while England and Brazil have Rooney and Kaka respectively – with all four being on $15 to claim the boot.
