Are you wanting to bet on Germany at this year’s World Cup? Then check out our guide on how to place your bets during the game and discover Germany’s latest odds.

As one of the most successful national teams in World Cup history, many bettors will be keen to stake money on Germany to win this year’s tournament. Not only have they won the competition four times, but they have also been runner-up and finished third on four occasions. With a history like theirs, Germany will be coming into the World Cup with very high expectations.

If you’re looking to find out how to bet on Germany at this year’s World Cup – or if you want help understanding the various betting markets available – we’ve put together a comprehensive guide to get you started. Read on to learn more about Germany betting odds, how to interpret Betway’s odds format, and the range of betting options you can access on Betway.

Where to bet on the latest Germany odds?

Betway offers a dedicated World Cup odds page, where you’ll find the most up-to-date Germany odds, along with pricing for other high-profile fixtures. From there, you can quickly log in or create a Betway account and begin placing bets straight away.

Once logged in, browse the teams you want to back or choose a specific match or market. Your betslip will automatically display your potential returns if your selection is successful. When you’re satisfied with your choices, simply click ‘Place bet’ and wait to see how it plays out.

How to read Germany betting odds

In the UK, Germany betting odds are usually presented in fractional form, which is the same format used by Betway. Fractional odds reflect the likelihood of an outcome. Smaller fractions indicate a higher probability (such as 1/3), while larger fractions suggest a less likely result (for example, 20/1).

These odds also make calculating potential winnings straightforward. Divide your stake by the number on the right side of the fraction, then multiply that figure by the number on the left. Don’t forget that if your bet wins, your original stake is returned as well.

If you need extra help, Betway provides a detailed fractional odds guide, along with a betting calculator to make things even easier. Some examples appear below to demonstrate how this works.

An example of Germany football odds

At this year’s World Cup, Germany’s odds are listed at 1/50 to beat Curacao. If you bet £50, your total winnings would be £51 (50 ÷ 50 = 1, then 1 × 1 = 1, plus the £50 you originally staked). The odds are so short because Germany’s chances of winning this match are exceedingly high, and the pricing reflects this.

The odds of Curacao defeating Germany have been set at 50/1. These longer odds suggest that Curacao are considered less likely to win. A £10 bet at 50/1 would return £510 in total (£10 ÷ 1 = 10, then 50 × 10 = 500, plus the £10 stake).

While bigger odds can deliver larger payouts, they also involve more risk, as those outcomes are less probable. Always bear this in mind before placing a wager.

Popular Germany football bet types

There are plenty of ways to get involved and bet on the World Cup this year. Below, we have listed some of the most popular markets with bettors and the different betting options on offer.

Match result

One of the most straightforward markets, this bet requires you to predict the final result of a match – a home win, an away win, or a draw. Betway clearly shows which team is designated as the home or away side.

To win the group

This market allows you to pick which team will finish top of their group. If your chosen team ends the group stage in first place, your bet is a winner. Looking ahead to the 2026 World Cup, bettors can decide whether Germany will come out on top of Group E against opponents Curacao, Ecuador, and Ivory Coast.

To win the World Cup

This is a longer-term betting option where you predict the overall World Cup winner. You can place this bet before the competition begins or while it’s underway. Could Germany go all the way and lift the trophy? Back your choice and see how it unfolds.

Goalscorers

If you’re confident in spotting players likely to find the net, this market could be ideal. Goalscorer bets let you support specific players to score during a match.

Under/over goals

This market gives each match a projected goal total. You can bet on whether it will contain more or fewer goals than that figure.

For instance, one of Germany’s matches might have an under/over line of 3.0 goals. Bettors can choose whether the game will contain more or fewer goals than this total. A correct prediction results in a winning bet.

Accumulator

An accumulator, often shortened to “acca”, combines multiple selections into a single bet. Every selection must be correct for the bet to win, making it higher risk – but with the potential for much greater rewards.

Can I bet on Germany football in-play?

Yes, you can! Betway’s in-play betting lets you place bets while matches are in progress. Odds change in real time depending on events such as goals, red cards, or injuries. You can also choose to cash out early if you’d prefer to secure a return before the match ends.
