Here are some of the betting odds for the UEFA Champions League
Not every bookmakers will have the same but I thought I would compare the odds from one of the most popular bookie’s in Europe to one in Vegas.
Gambling on soccer is a lot more popular in Europe as it’s a lot more accessible, but here are the odds for the outright winners of the cup, and the odds for each match.
Enjoy and gamble responsibly.
Irish Bookmakers Paddy Power have the odds for the outright winner of the Champions League as follows:
Real Madrid – 11/4. Bayern Munich- 11/4.
Barcelona- 5/1. Chelsea 15/2.
Atletico Madrid-16/1. Man City- 16/1.
Arsenal- 18/1 PSG- 18/1
Borussia Dortmund- 18/1 Juventus- 28/1
Porto- 50/1 Bayer Leverkusen- 125/1
Monaco- 150/1 FC Basel- 200/1
Schalke – 300/1 Shakhtar Donetsk – 400/1
As you can see, German Giants Bayern Munich are tied favorites with Spain’s Real Madrid to take home the cup at 11/4. Barcelona are in third at 5/1, which isn’t a bad bet if you ask me.
If you are looking to throw your money away in hopes of buying that yacht, Shakhtar Donetsk least favorites to win the competition at an oustanding 400/1.
Remember these prices are subject to change following the games, the above prices were online leading up to the games.
Now away from Europe’s gambling predictions, lets move on to Vegas! Here are the betting odds that Bovada have for each team to QUALIFY from the round of 16.
Fixture one:
PSG: +160
Chelsea: -210
Fixture Two:
Shakhtar Donetsk: +650
Bayern Munich: -1200
Fixture Three:
Schalke: +800
Real Madrid: -1800
Fixture Four:
Basel Fc: +180
Porto: -240
Fixture Five:
Manchester City: +200
Barcelona: -275
Fixture Six:
Juventus- -130
Dortmund- Even
Fixture Seven:
Bayer Leverkusen: +200
Atletico Madrid: -275
Fixture Eight:
Arsenal: -300
Monaco: +220
As you can see the odds to progress to the next round from Vegas, are similar to the European odds to win the tournament. For example, Shakhtar Donetsk are given little to no chance by either bookies to progress. Real Madrid and Bayern Munich both have short odds to progress from the round of 16, and to win the entire thing.
The bookies might be continents away from one another, but there respective odds aren’t a mile away. This was just an interesting way to compare the two styles of betting, and to show you all the outright odds and the odds for the upcoming round of 16.
Be sure to tune in for updates about the games, there are some crackers lined up for us to enjoy!
