Venezuela 2007 : Copa America Betting at Sports Gambling
The Copa América (Spanish for “America Cup”) is a major Soccer Betting tournament that is organized by CONMEBOL and it mainly includes South American teams. Copa America is also the oldest international soccer betting tournament in the world that is still being played: it started in 1916.
Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Paraguay, Uruguay, Ecuador and Venezuela are the teams that always participate in Copa America: that’s why there is no need for qualification rounds to determine which countries will be part of the tournament. These 10 teams are joined by 2 other teams from other confederations (usually CONCACAF). All the teams play in 3 groups with 4 teams each. The first time CONMEBOL started inviting other teams to Copa America was in 1993, and since then the invited teams have been Mexico (every year), Honduras, Costa Rica, Japan and the United States.
The 2007 Copa America will take place in Venezuela, and the invited teams are Mexico and USA. Handicappers and soccer betting fans have established Brazil and Argentina as the favorites to win this Copa America championship; however, some of the rest of the teams have other aspects in their favor to compete for the title. For example, sports betting fans should remember that this Copa America 2007 Venezuela will have home field advantage, since they will be hosting the tournament. Handicappers do not consider Venezuela a real threat, but it will be important for your Copa America Soccer betting strategy to consider all strengths and weaknesses in every team. Knowing the field that well could be a major advantage for Venezuelans.
