Germany Gets 90 Percent of Backing vs. Australia in World Cup Bout

Heavily favored Germany was getting 90 percent of the backing from the betting public in its matchup against lowly Australia Sunday afternoon. 

Germany came in as the -250 favorite while Australia would pay out US$67.50 for every US$10 bet with a Biblical upset.   The draw would pay just over 3/1 odds.

Gambling911.com special contributor Greg Tingle said of his native Australian team:  "They don't stand a chance in Hell of winning."

He's probably right.  Only 4 percent of the gambling public thinks otherwise.

The BBC writes in regard to this matchup: "This is the youngest squad the Germans have sent to a World Cup for 76 years. Only three players are over the age of 30 and there are five members of the side who won the 2009 Under-21 European Championship in the squad. Most expect the German young legs to beat the Aussie old heads, but don't be surprised if it's not pretty to watch."
