About World Cup Tips at OLBG  

OLBG has a wide variety of World Cup tips from a wide range of football tipsters.

Unlike many websites that only provide one side of an argument when it comes to tipping on an event, OLBG publishes all the quality tip write-ups that are submitted on each event, whichever outcome they favour.

This gives you the power to make an informed decision. You can read different angles and opinions about each outcome to decide what you want to bet on. 

You can simply go with the outcome that has a higher percentage of tips in its favour, or you can follow a particular tipster because you agree with their tip comment or are impressed by their tipping stats.

OLBG believe in transparent tips and tipsters, which is why for each tipster, you can see how many profitable months they've had in the past 6 months.

As well as their 6-month level stakes profit, their 6-month strike rate percentage and a variety of other statistical data in their profile.

If you like the look of a tipster, you can even follow them and get alerts when they make a tip!

Who are the best World Cup tipsters?  

The World Cup only lasts one month, so that's a very short time in which to determine who the best World Cup tipsters are.

Many great football tipsters on OLBG have profitable records that go back seasons, and they are very much expected to continue their fine form into the World Cup.

Some of the criteria for picking the best World Cup bets can differ slightly from domestic football, but the core principles remain the same.

Once again, selecting a bet comes down to your preferences. Whether you want to follow the majority, a particular comment or tipster or a collection of tipsters who are all in favour of the same outcome.

If you do want to see which tipsters are making the best start to the World Cup, you can check out the standings in the World Cup tipster competition. They will be updated daily as soon as the World Cup begins.

Once you have found the best bets, then, of course, you need the best bookmakers to place those bets with. We have written a guide to the Best Football Betting Sites.
