The Socceroos may be massive outsiders at $326 to win the World Cup but that hasn’t stopped patriotic punters getting behind our boys in Russia.

Sportsbet has released some interesting bets and facts ahead of their opener against France:

• Two bets of $10,000 have backed France to win the match against the Socceroos at odds of $1.26
• The largest Socceroos bet against the French is $2,000 at odds of $13
• 43% of total money is predicting the Socceroos will win their group ($23)
• Two punters have placed $100 wagers at odds of $26 and $23 on this outcome
• 82% of the money emphatically foresees we’ll qualify from the group ($5.00)
• One punter has placed a $1,000 bet at odds of $5.00 for our qualification
• There’s also been a $1,000 bet on the Socceroos exiting at the Quarter Final stage at odds of $21
• Less than 3% of the total money is backing the Socceroos winning the World Cup ($326)
• One punter stands to win $150,500 should it happen, following a $500 wager at odds of $301
• A very unpatriotic punter has parted with $1,000 of their cash believing we won’t win a game! ($1.72)

“There’s a great belief with punters that we’ll cause an upset and make it out of the group. There’s usually at least one surprise package at every World Cup so here’s hoping this tournament it’ll be the Socceroos,’’ said sportsbet.com.au’s Will Byrne.
