World Cup Golden Boot Betting

Having a flutter on the World Cup Golden Boot can add great excitement to following the tournament. As there are many contenders for this coveted prize the odds received can be very favourable. Hopefully I can help you find the right player with some extra information that should prove beneficial.

In the last 10 World Cups at least 6 goals have been required to win the Golden Boot. You should focus on teams that rely on an out and out striker to score their goals. One team that fits this bill is Portugal and the striker being Pauleta. He is in great form after scoring a hatrick on the weekend for the national team. Portugal is an attacking side and will create enough scoring opportunities for Pauleta. The team have a relatively easy group and should progress to the latter knock-out stages. Eight of the last ten golden boot winners have come from a European team further enhancing Pauleta as a strong candidate. Gary Lineker of England is the only player to win the golden boot outright without making it to the semi-finals. Brazil is expected to go this far but with attacking options in Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Adriano, Robinho and Kaka they are sure to be sharing the load.

I would advise on placing money on Pauleta who is 34/1 at the time of writing. This is great value for money. Thierry Henry also ticks all the right boxes but he is much shorter at 13/1. Check out the Latest Golden Boot Odds and pick your winner.
