The Bet365 2 up is always a favourite of mine.

They are running their 2up offer which has been hugely profitable for our members. They are also giving a <a href=\"https:\/\/extra.bet365.com\/promotions\/en\/world-cup-2018\/penalty-payback\">refund on any outright winner<\/a> bets if your team is knocked out on penalties so that is a great option if you fancy backing England!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who is going to win the World Cup?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s hard to look past Germany as they have an amazing squad. Brazil also have a very strong attacking line up but I think the better teams may expose them at the back. Both teams could meet in the final.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who is going to be top scorer?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Probably Neymar. Brazil will be scoring a lot of goals with all the attacking talent they have so I think he will be clear at the top of the goal scorer table.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How far will England go in the World Cup?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The quarter finals. If England win their group they will likely have a straight forward 2nd round but then in the quarter finals they will likely be facing Brazil. If England come second in the group they will probably have to face Germany in the quarter finals. I can&#8217;t see England beating either of those 2 teams.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4048 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/www.oddsmonkey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/dan-150x150.png\" alt=\"Dan\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.oddsmonkey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/dan-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.oddsmonkey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/dan-600x600.png 600w, https:\/\/www.oddsmonkey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/dan-165x165.png 165w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dan <\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is your top matched betting offer for the World Cup?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s definitely worth keeping an eye out for new customer offers in the run up to the first game and throughout the tournament. The two stand out offers for me at the moment, have to be the<a href=\"https:\/\/promotions.williamhill.com\/offer\/world-cup-top-goalscorer-free-bet-offer\"> William Hill bet \u00a310 on the tournament winner\/top goal scorer<\/a> markets. Although only \u00a35 free bets per win\/goal, they will soon add up when choosing favourites such as Brazil and Messi!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who is going to win the World Cup? <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Difficult one as always. With the trophy changing hands on the last 5 occasions, I wouldn\u2019t bet against this once again. My money will be on Argentina.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who is going to be top-scorer?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following on from the William Hill offer and winner market, I fancy Messi to bag a handful in the groups stages.
