The 2024 Copa America final is in the books, and Argentina was able to go back-to-back with a 1-0 victory over Colombia in the Final.

The game was tied 0-0 until the 112th minute, where Golden Boot winner Lautaro Martinez was finally able to find the back of the net.

Lionel Messi & Co. stormed through the soccer odds bracket as favorites in the Copa America odds with only minor hiccups along the way.

Copa America best bet: Argentina to win (+180 at Betano)

By Chris Vasile

More Messi Magic

While it may seem dull, and make for a potentially boring tournament, Argentina enters this year's Copa America in fine form. 

They sit atop the CONMEBOL standings for the 2026 World Cup and have conceded just twice in six games. 

With Lionel Messi set to turn 37 at the onset of the tournament, you'd be foolish to count him out. 

He's the straw that stirs the drink and with a plethora of high-quality players around him and a stout defensive line, Argentina should face very little resistance until the semifinals, if not the Finals. 

As for Brazil — their main rival — the loss of Neymar will be too much to overcome and we've seen a dip in their form leading up to this tournament with just one win (a friendly) over their last six fixtures in all competitions. 

Give me Messi. Give me Argentina. 

Pick made on 6-12

United States odds to win Copa America

The USMNT began their Copa America campaign on a winning note with a 2-0 victory over Bolivia, but the joy was short-lived as Panama upset Team USA in the next group stage game, 2-1. The loss sent the Yankees' odds rocketing upward.

With their tournament in danger, the United States laid an egg vs. Uruguay, losing 2-0 and being eliminated before the knockouts even began.

How to bet Copa America 2024 outright odds

Betting on the outright winner of Copa America 2024 is an extremely popular futures betting option and odds usually come out soon after the previous Copa America winner is crowned. These odds will adjust based on how countries and players perform leading up to the tournament. Sportsbooks will also adjust the soccer odds based on handle and liability with certain nations.

Futures odds are displayed in list form, showing each option and its odds — most often ranked from best chances to win to worst. You will usually see a plus (+) sign in front of a team's futures odds, like this:

  • Uruguay +550

This means that on a $100 bet, you would stand to win $550 if Uruguay won Copa America 2024. As we get closer to the Copa America Final or if one team has been extremely dominant, you might see a country with a minus sign (-) ahead of its odds. 

  • Brazil -110

This would mean that you have to bet $110 to win $100 on a Brazil Copa America outright victory.
