The Argentina frontman scored a hat-trick against Haiti in a recent friendly and his odds have been enhanced from 9/1 to 11/1 with the online firm
dabblebet are offering an industry-best price on Lionel Messi to be the top scorer at the World Cup this summer.
The Barcelona forward led his side to another La Liga title this season, netting 34 times and as Argentina's main man ahead of Russia 2018, it's understandable to see him as the favourite in the Golden Boot market.
The boost to 11/1 (from 9/1) means dabblebet is currently the best in the market about the five-time Ballon d'Or winner being the tournament's leading marksman.
This selection is the first of dabblebet's daily price boosts with a new one added each day until the tournament gets underway. They’ll cover some of the most popular betting markets as well as some specials around certain teams or groups so there should be something for everyone across the next two weeks.
These boosts are available to all customers too, not just new ones and all returns are paid in cash. Check out the dedicated page to see what else is available.
Messi wasted litte time in Argentina's recent friendly with Haiti, netting three times inside 66 minutes.
While that isn't the strongest of form with which to make an assessment on his top scorer credentials for the World Cup, the 30-year-old has undoubted class on both the international and domestic stages.
A tricky Group D draw sees Oscar Tabarez's side face Nigeria, Croatia and Iceland but Messi's goal scoring potential simply can't be ignored, especially as Argentina's most potent threat.
Seven goals in qualification wasn't the biggest tally in South America - that came courtesy of Edinson Cavani (10) - but as the focal point of his nations' attacking arsenal, the 11/1 (12.0) with dabblebet will surely catch the eye of punters wanting to keep one of the best players in the world on side this summer.
Don’t forget that there will be a new price boost available every day until the action gets underway when Russia face Saudi Arabia on June 14.
