Euro 2008

Post by bigv038 »

Just been having a look about - trying to pick a few (hopeful) money earning bets. Betfair's prices are worse than Ladbrokes in a few cases :?

Anyway what we all betting on then?

I'll be doing Holland to win the comp with Van Nistelrooy top scorer (50/1)

&

I'll be doing an opening day double Czech's and Portugal, might also do it as a HT - FT aswell in the hope both games have early goals :P

Best of luck people!

Can't see past the Germans to be honest, but at 7/2 (Corals) its not really worth a punt.

The Dutch are a good each way shout, as all the pundits have written them off in the 'group of death'. Could Huntelaar become the new Van Basten here and score a winning volley in the final?

It would never be as good though - 20 year old goal which is yet to bettered in an International Tournament.

I stuck a cheeky tenner on Portugal at 9-1 (or it might have been 8-1).

Also took part in the office sweepstake. Drew Switzerland. Bah.

Was so disgusted I took another. Romania. Double Bah.

I wouldnt rule out Romania you know! lol, last euro comp proved that any team with a bit of luck and form can win, Romania topped their qualify group I think (ahead of Holland!)

I have a feeling for Italy, think there at 7-1, although a each way bet on portugal could be the value, germany to probably get to semi's I reckon

LOL @ Cardinal. My pick of the office sweepstake yielded Russia. :?
