Home / Football / Copa America
The Copa America is one of the most widely watched sporting events in the world and is an ideal opportunity for football betting as it takes place in July when the regular Premier League and European seasons are taking the summer off.
It involves 12 teams from South and Central America and often involves some of the most exciting flair players in world football. The 12 countries compete in a round robin format before the group winners move on to a knockout stage, and it is very similar to the European Championships in that regard.
Argentina are often found at the head of the betting as they, along with Uruguay, have won the most Copa America tournaments, although in recent years Brazil have been challenging their domination.
There are plenty of betting markets to take advantage of during the month long tournament and plenty of punters will be looking out for the first goalscorer odds, correct score odds, as well as in play betting and many more. And with the likes of Carlos Tevez, Neymar and Luis Suarez likely to be playing there is always plenty of interest from British bookmakers and punters alike.....
