The stage has been set. World Cup 2010 is just days away. The betting world will turn to the sportsbooks to wager on soccer like crazy over the next month of so. On Friday June 11th,2010 South Africa will feature two exciting matches to kick off the event that takes place every four years. The games that will be played on Friday feature – the hosts South Africa playing against Mexico at 9am CST, and then later in the day Uruguay will take on France.

Bodog Sportsbook has the odds for all of the first round pool play games. Friday’s matches appear to have one game pretty close to a toss up according to the oddsmakers, and another that has one fairly large favorite. In the match between South Africa and Mexico – the hosts are the slight underdog, as Mexico is listed at +145, while South Africa is a little higher at +175. The odds of the match ending in a draw is listed at +225. This match, along with most of the others in the World Cup have an over/under listed at 2.5 goals. Bettors can grab the over at +135, and under at -165.

The second match on the day between Uruguay and France will take place at 9pm CST at Cape Town Stadium in Cape Town, South Africa. France is the favorite, and in relatively big fashion – as even money odds. The underdog, Uruguay can be had for +265 odds. This means, if a bettor selects Uruguay to win the game, and they do, a $10 bet would be made into $26.50. On the flip side, if someone wagered $10 on France – and they won – $10 would be rewarded. Once again, the over/under is listed at 2.5. Bettors can grab the over at +120 odds and the under at -150.
