revealed OddsMonkey spokesman Peter Watton.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Just after that around 7\/1 and 8\/1, come Spain and Argentina &#8211; after that you are well into double figures &#8211; the Bookmakers are not taking any chances here, these five are well clear in the betting and we are being told attracting the majority of the money.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;England are the only home nation involved and are in the second tier of sides at 20\/1 but we expect some changes in the odds once the draw is made at the start of December &#8211; although we don&#8217;t think there will be too many changes with those big five at the head of the market.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But if you are looking for the &#8216;Leicester City&#8217; of the World Cup finals &#8211;
