With speculation that Qatar may lose the 2022 World Cup, Australia’s hopes are still alive and kicking, given a good shot at $6.50 with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au to host the prestigious event.
Despite the country crossing its fingers, Australia isn’t the front runner if Qatar lose it, with the USA the $2.37 favourite.
But Qatar is far from certain to no longer have the Cup, priced at $3.00 to keep it ahead of Germany ($10), South Korea ($11) and Germany ($11).
“We would love to have Australia as the favourite, but even if Qatar do lose the World Cup, it looks a good bet that the USA will be the front runners,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.
