For instance, if you were to bet $10 on India, William Hill would give you a payout of $16.70, were India to win against Australia; a similar amount bet on Australia would fetch you $22.00, were Australia to win. Expect to get similar returns on both teams, if you were to place your bet with Bet365 or PaddyPower.
While CanBet offers $16.70 on an India win against a $10 stake, they hold out a return of $24.00 on an Australia triumph in the quarter-finals. BlueSQ and 888sport offer a payout of just $21.00 on a $10 bet placed on Australia, while promising $17.30 were you to back India to win.
