The football showpiece event kicks off in Russia on Thursday - make sure you do your office sweepstakes before the first game gets under way!
World Cup 2018 is the biggest sporting event in the world and every four years tournament fever tends to seep into every walk of life for a month in summer.
That may sound like heaven to an avid football fan, but for the sections of the public that aren't so keen on the game it can be a boring, drawn-out affair.
Luckily for some of those indifferent souls the phenomenon of the World Cup sweepstake can make the tournament interesting.
