Euro 2012 Betting Thread

Big tournament, perfect time for a flutter.

Talk about your bets here.

I might try to pick a couple of outright winners, then I'll just place bets on individual matches for a bit of added interest. Haven't placed anything yet though.

Im going to be trawling teh net to get the best BOGOF or free bet and may well do a bit of live spread betting if I get time and space - last WC, I had some fantastic spreads laid out live and hedged my downside entirely as the games progressed.

That all sounds quite complex. I am shit at betting I just pick a team and hope for the best, never done the in-game stuff.

Holland maybe worth a punt at 7/1

 

[Mr.Bishie]

Wish i'd taken Germany at 8-1 a few months ago when I said I would!!

3-1 latest with Ladbrookes

 

[Voley]

What are the odds on Hodgson being sacked within a month of it finishing?

The only bet like this I can find is 'to leave after euro 2012 and before world cup 2014 qualifiers'.

Those qualifiers start on 7th September which is a couple of months after euro 2012 ends, but close enough.

12/1

 

[Gingerman]

Italy at 12/1 seems like a good bet

 

[twistedAM]

Italy at 12/1 seems like a good bet

Balotelli at 25s for top scorer might be worth a punt.

 

[hawns]

I'm going to go for Germany and Muller at 66/1.

 

[g force]

Italy 12/1
Lewandowski at 35/1
Ibra at 50/1

 

[Teaboy]

Italy at 12/1 seems like a good bet

Eh? Isnt the Italian game it meltdown again?

Mind you last time that happened they won the world cup, I remember it well because they were the worst team to ever win a world cup.

Won both the '82 and '06 WC after betting scandals.

exactly - italy are like germany, they can always win - they defend hard, always scrape through group stages, step up a gear in the next rounds and with balotelli in the mix they'll be tasty going forward - 14/1 italy and balotelli top scorer 25s according to twisted, the only way to go for me

its an omen!

 

[Pickman's model]

got france in the work sweepstake

Italy really should have won the 2000 Euros,after going 1-0 up in the final Del Pireo missed some great chances to put it beyond the French,course France equalised with literally the last kick of the 90 min and won with a GG in extra time.

yes, but every year is a betting scandal for them

 

[tar1984]

Got my first bet on today.

£1 stake on

Holland to beat Denmark
Germany & Portugal to draw

Potential returns: £5.53

 

[articul8]

last of the big spenders

 

[tar1984]

I'm skint and going by the mantra you should never bet what you can't afford to lose

 

[Libertad]

£20 at 33/1 on the England game depressingly going in the way that I expect it to.

What is the bet?

 

[Libertad]

What is the bet?

I was hoping you wouldn't ask, give me a sec and I'll get the sheet.

 

[Libertad]

William Hill. Yes/No, all six correct to win @ 33-1

No draw at half-time: Yes, not drawn.
Under ten corners in 90 minutes: Yes, agree.
Under five cards in 90 minutes: No, disagree.
Goal after 74 mins 59 seconds: Yes, agree.
All six subs. used in 90 mins: No, less than six.
More/less than four mins. added time after 90 mins: More.

 

[Libertad]

There you go tar.

 

[tar1984]

Thanks... That doesn't sound so depressing

 

[Libertad]

I see it as a messy, aggressive card fest. Both teams knowing that they have to win this game so as not to have to play Spain before the final. France winning at half-time I expect and a second half full of snidy little incidents and cards justifying the added time at the end.

 

[tar1984]

Oh I see. Good luck, that is quite intelligent betting and it'll be a lot less depressing if that comes in for you

I thought you meant depressing as in England getting thrashed by several goals.
