Tips for this offer
It’s entirely up to you how you approach this offer.
World Cup 2026 starts on Thursday, 11th June 2026, and ends on Sunday, 19th July 2026. That means if you choose to lay your qualifying bet, your funds at the betting exchange will be tied up for some time.
Alternatively, you can treat the offer as advantage play, which means not laying your qualifying bet and letting the back bet run.
Your selected player should score in enough matches to cover some of your qualifying stake. If they finish as the Top Goalscorer, you'll make a nice profit.
If you decide to lay your qualifying bet, you can do so at Smarkets in their 'World Cup 2026 - Top Goalscorer' market (avoid their 'World Cup 2026 - Golden Boot' market as that isn't an exact match for your qualifying bet).
