Man of the Match Award Odds
As you may well know by now, the World Cup 2018 kicks off this week and with it, it brings hundreds of new betting opportunities. Savvy sports bettors, however, will be on the hunt for the least popular markets as these are more likely to give you good odds and therefore, a chance to beat the bookies.

That being said, there are plenty of alternative markets you can enjoy, such as which player may take home the Golden Boot or Golden Ball prizes. In this article we’ll discuss your other betting options, as well as letting you know how you can vote for the Man of the Match in each game of the World Cup 2018.
