Denmark
With the World Cup 2018 just weeks away, now is the time to choose which team your backing to go all the way.

However, to beat the bookies and make the most of these new betting opportunities, you have to do your research.

Odds on Denmark to Win World Cup 2018
As you can see from the table above, the odds on Denmark winning 2018 World Cup currently stand at around 100/1, making a Danish victory seem very unlikely. Whilst we wouldn’t advise placing this bet, as it doesn’t seem very realistic it would pay out, we think some of the odds on Denmark’s stage of elimination are very interesting.
Instead of backing Denmark to win World Cup 2018 odds, we’d take a look at the odds for Denmark to reach the round of sixteen or even the quarter-finals of the competition. In general, Denmark are expected to advance from their group stages, but if they do you can expect the odds for them to reach any one of the final stages to shorten dramatically. This means that if you want to back odds on Denmark to reach the quarters or the semis, you should place your bets as soon as possible.
Contrastingly, we expect the odds Denmark win World Cup 2018 to remain long for quite some time, until it’s much more obvious that they could reach the final, which means you’ve got plenty of time to place a wager on Denmark to win the World Cup 2018 should you want to.
