Hot World

The World Cup 2018 and 2022 bids host cities are being decided on 2nd December 2010 and William Hill make Russia the Even money favourite for 2018 and Qatar the 4/9 favourite for 2022. England’s bid for 2018 had been as short as 1/3, however, since the ‘cash-for-votes’ was exposed, the price has drifted out to 13/8.

“A month ago, England were the hot favourites to host the 2018 World Cup, but sadly it seems like Russia have now won the bid,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill 2018 / 2022 World Cup Bids Odds:

2018: 1/1 Russia; 13/8 England; 11/4 Portugal & Spain; 50/1 Belgium & Holland

2022: 4/9 Qatar; 3/1 Australia; 9/2 USA; 33/1 Japan; 40/1 South Korea
