According to Ladbrokes and many other reputable online betting sites, Spain is the hot pick to winthe 2010 World Cup.
Spain is presently the 4-1 favorites to win the World Cup. England is second at 5-1, Brazil third at 11-2 with Argentina and Germany next at 9-1.
Led by star Fernando Torres, the Spaniards will begin their Cup title run in arguably the easiest of the groups, Group H, which features Honduras, Chile and Switzerland.
Spain is also buoyed by what could be an agreeable round of 16 match. The Group H winner is scheduled to meet the Group G No. 2 team, which could be Portugal or the Ivory Coast.
Spain is making their 13th World Cup appearance. Their best prior performance was a fourth place finish in 1950. Lucky #13 anyone?

Unfortunately for millions of Europeans, these odds will never be available. State run betting monopolies offer much poorer value, so the Right2bet petition is lobbying the EU to open gambling markets so everyone can enjoy the benefits of a competitive market http://cli.gs/9ESzdA
