What this means for Aussie punters
The implied probability that a top-4 priced side lifts the trophy is ~69% (sum of France, Argentina, Spain, England, before margin). That is a tight cluster — anchor a multi on the France-or-Argentina double and shop player markets for the upside. If you fancy a "ticket bet" at long odds, Morocco 41.00 has both a defensive base and a winnable R32 against the Netherlands tonight.

How implied % works
Implied probability is just 1 / decimal odds:
- France 4.40 → 1 / 4.40 = 22.7%
- Argentina 5.10 → 1 / 5.10 = 19.6%
- Morocco 41.00 → 1 / 41.00 = 2.4%
The sum across all teams exceeds 100% — that overround is the book’s margin. A price is "value" only if your true belief is shorter than the implied figure.
- France 4.40 — lone clear outright favourite going into R32.
- Argentina shortened sharply to 5.10 after a perfect Group J run.
- Brazil drifted to ~14.00; Spain and England level at 7.50.
- Best longshot tickets: Morocco 41.00, USA 36.00, Colombia 34.00.
