England Odds of Winning

Basingstoke

At the start of the tournament England were given a 4% chance of winning the world cup. Now that we are at the semis, we can look at the betting markets for the latest odds, which imply the following probabilities of winning:

France 33%

England 27%

Belgium 26%

Croatia 18%

It's worth noting that France had a 6% chance at the start and Belgium had a 4% chance, so the 4% for England doesn't actually seem that far off. Although once Brazil got knocked out (21%) then there wasn't much to choose from the rest, Spain were second with 10%.

England have a higher percent chance of winning than Belgium even tho Belgium beat you already,played much better football and played Brazil off the pitch?

If you disagree with them, why not cash in on your insights? Put your money where your mouth is, so to speak.

Probably because Belgium have less chance of reaching the final (playing France in their Semi Final) than we do (playing Croatia). If we meet Belgium in the final then they are likely to be favourites for that match.

Damn! I never appreciated the fact that the top of each group progress in a predictable fashion. I assumed the quarter final would be randomly drawn like the FA cup.

Football odds are based on money staked, it's not got a lot to with the actual chances of any particular outcome happenening.

Actually the market averages nicely and the fools are a minority. The combined probability of belgium beating France and England should be less than the combined probability of England beating Croatia and France or Belgium, given the perceived difference in quality of France and Croatia.

Exactly this! Betting odds only reflect the way that people are betting, not the actual likelihood of winning.

But it wasn’t poor though was it? Initial odds will be based on form but they very quickly become skewed according to betting patterns. The bookmakers do this to protect against significant loses if that outcome should arise. No bookmaker ever went out of business from outcomes. It’s all part of the game.

Frankly the bookies were foolish to accept 5,000-1. That's an implied probability of 0.02%. Every ~20 years a team that nobody expected has won the top division. Would anyone who bet a 5,000-1, not accepted 2,000-1?

And also given that I'm guessing the figures are taken from a British based betting company where of course people will back the home team. Try finding the stats/odds from French, Belgium or Croatian based companies and you'll find that the 'home' team will be favoured by the country where the company is based.

Aside from the obvious flaw in your argument, if you think that Belgium played Brazil off the pitch then football obviously isn't your sport.

As long as England score more goals than the other team, I think we’ll be ok and win the World Cup

That will ruin their chances
