BET OF THE TOURNAMENT, FRED?


No wonder he looks miserable. Arsenal's defeat to Barcelona in the European Cup Final may mean Thierry Henry leaves the gunners over the summer.
But those looking for the World Cup's top scorer could do worse than think about a bet on the Arsenal hero.
While Brazil's Ronaldo and Ronaldinho are both favoured above him in the betting, it's likely both Brazillians could share the goals if they get the success expected of them.
However, the French have possibly the easiest group of all to qualify from. Henry vs defenders from South Korea, Switzerland and, er, Togo could have a field day.
If he's on fire, a place as top scorer could be secured by the end of the group stages. And he's a top priced 16-1 with BetFred - who I don't believe are connected to the Brazillian international, but they are certainly generous with the price of the French genius, who is as low as 10-1 elsewhere.
Meanwhile if you are insane, or think that Ronaldo will keep eating pies and Ronaldinho will fall down the stairs of his mansion before the tournament, you could actually have a bet on the Brazillian striker Fred. Oddly, BetFred aren't offering a price, but Bluesq.com are offering 100-1.
