The United States and Mexico have even longer odds, sitting at 80-1.
A Landmark Tournament for Sports Betting
Entering the 2026 World Cup, Spain was the pre-tournament favorite, making them only the fourth team in history to win after starting the tournament as favorites, joining the ranks of West Germany (1974), Brazil (1994), and Spain itself (2010).
In terms of betting activity, the final match between Spain and Argentina shattered records, becoming the most-bet soccer game in the history of both BetMGM and Caesars Sportsbook. The betting handle surpassed all 2026 College Football Playoff games, as well as prominent sporting events like the NBA Finals and the World Series.
According to Caesars, the final match generated 65% more betting handle than their previous most-bet soccer match, solidifying the 2026 tournament’s impact on American sports betting culture.
“This record-breaking final capped off a fantastic tournament. A home-nation World Cup brought high expectations for engagement and interest,” said Caesars’ head of soccer, Mark Bickerdike. “The World Cup fever took hold following the USMNT’s promising start and continued throughout the knockout stages.”
