- England -275
- USA +500
- Wales +500
- Iran +1800
Wales has the same odds as the US to make it out of the group, but has +15000 odds to win the World Cup overall. One could chalk this up to US-based soccer betting fans placing homer bets, as there are likely more US homers than there are Welsh ones, and so the top-level market (overall odds) moves, while the more granular markets (group odds) stay static.
All hope is not lost for the US, however. They’re fairly likely to make it out of the group stage, per the online sportsbooks.

- England -2000
- USA -110
- Wales +110

Once again a discrepancy between the US and Wales can be noted, flying in the face of the overall Group B odds – and perhaps any theory explaining them!
However, before fans of the USMNT get too cocky, they should also know that the US is, despite having negative odds, still a favorite to be eliminated in groups.
