The 2022 World Cup has also garnered highly critical assessments from enthusiasts and insiders, who have expressed their disagreement with Fifa’s choice. But the world of betting does not figure among the outraged: there are already 150 million euros staked, in Italy, on the first day. The data certainly makes a stir, especially if we take into account the absence of the national team.
Even more striking are the data released by Agipronews, which identified Germany-Japan as the match with the highest number of bets, around 30 million euros in total bet – both pre-match and live. Not least the challenge of Messi’s Argentina against the surprising Saudi Arabia, with a figure close to 25 million, while the inaugural match between Qatar and Ecuador allowed our bookmakers to collect 15 million.
