TIP 1: do not enter 0-0
During the previous World Cup 2018 in Russia, 64 matches were played. Did you know that only one game ended in 0-0? Only 1.56% of matches ended in a 0-0. So don't bet on a 0-0.
TIP 2: predict the most likely outcome
You can increase your chances of winning a World Cup pool by constructively betting on the most likely outcome . This allows you to predict the outcome that is most expected by the bookmakers for each match.
Now no one knows in advance what the outcome will be. But we do know what the most likely outcome will be. This is the result that the bookmakers expect. Most of the money was spent on that outcome. There is the most confidence in this result worldwide.
Worldwide, millions are bet on World Cup matches. As more money is put on a country's victory, there is great confidence that the country will win. On a country that has no chance to win you do not put money!
As more money is put on a country's victory, the odd (quoting) decreases.
The odds are determined by the amount of money placed on a bet. In addition, the odds are determined on the basis of statistics from previous meetings between the countries and The Shape of the countries.
Below you can see an example of the match Senegal-Netherlands. You will see the possible results and the odds. The lower the odds, the higher the expectation that this will be the correct score.
Senegal-Netherlands
You can see that the 0-1 result for New Zealand has odds of 6.25. This is the lowest odds and so 0-1 is the most likely final result according to the bookies.
So you can choose as a strategy to always look for the lowest odds for each match and fill them in your World Cup pool. You can look up the odds at one of the New Zealand bookmakers .
TIP 3: let the favorite country win
This tip sounds very logical. Don't go by your gut feeling, because sometimes a certain country is not as good as you think. Of course, in a match like France-Australia you know that France is the favorite to win.
But there are a lot of World Cup matches where you (even if you are quite a connoisseur) do not know who the favorite is. For example, many people think that at the USA-Wales match that Wales is the favorite to win. According to the gamblers and bookmakers, this is not the case.
We have made a calculation of the probability (probability) of who will win the match or that the match will end in a draw (X). The percentages are based on the bookmakers ' expectations.
We have analyzed these bookmaker figures and come to the next profit expectations in the World Cup group matches. You can find this list below. This way you know which country is most likely to win. It is wise to determine who you let win (or draw) the match based on this info.

TIP 4: history of team meetings
Check the results between teams. Sometimes certain countries are very good against a specific country. Or not. Think of New Zealand. The New Zealand National Team they almost never win against Portugal. In the 14 meetings, Kingdom managed to win only twice over Portugal.
If New Zealand plays Portugal, predict that Portugal will win, even if you prefer not to.
This information is not available at many World Cup matches because many countries have never or almost never or long ago played against each other.
TIP 5: draws 1-1 are most common
Do you think a match ends in a draw? Then don't put it on 0-0 or 2-2 and certainly not on 3-3. But bet on 1-1.
Statistics show that as many as half of the matches that are played equally end in 1-1. Not many people fill in a draw in a football pool. If you have a good draw, you score a lot of points compared to your competitors.
TIP 6: win with one goal difference
Statistics show that when a team wins, in most cases the result is one goal difference. So it is wiser to predict 2-1 instead of 2-0 or 3-0.
So let the winning team win with one goal difference unless the difference between the countries is very big.
When is the difference between the countries really big? You can see that in the list above where you see the percentages of the countries per match. With countries that have more than 60-65% chance, you can choose to let the country win by two goals (maybe more).
TIP 7: adjust your predictions
With some football pools you have to predict everything before the World Cup starts and you can no longer adjust anything during the World Cup. At our World Cup pool you can adjust your predictions until just before the match starts. Make use of it, if relevant.
For example, there may be injured people on a team or it may be that a coach sets up ‘lesser’ players.
In major football tournaments such as a European Championship or World Cup, it may be that a (favorite) country plays its first match poorly. You can then consider adjusting your predictions. Also, the last group match is often no longer important or both teams have enough to draw.
With the latter you have to adjust your prediction to a draw. By the way, you will see this clearly in the odds at the bookmaker as we discussed earlier. The odds on a draw will then be (very) low, for example 1.80. Normally a draw is around 3.30.
It is therefore important to keep an eye on the World Cup news regarding the fixtures.
TIP 8: know what others predict
When you participate in our World Cup football pool, you can see the most predicted results in the statistics. Suppose you see that 40% think it will be 2-1. You can then decide not to choose 2-1. By deviating you can, if you have the result right (for example 3-1), run out in points!
In short: see what other participants predict in our handy statistics tool. You will find this handy button (icon) with every match. Take advantage of it!
