Euro 2012 Betting

DB74 · 01-06-2012 1:29pm

I see Boylesports have changed the conditions of their "Money back if Ireland score" offer

Originally they were offering money back on both goalscorer bets & correct score bets if Ireland scored (excl 0-0 bets) but now it only applies to first, last, & anytime goalscorer bets

Missed it myself, was going to wait until the day of the matches when I was hoping they would lengthen the 1-0 & 2-0 scorelines from what they are now

:mad:

There's some fantastic specials out there.

Top Premier League Goalscorer at Euro 2012

Good call.

Italy are really out of sorts with the match fixing scandal.

Lost 3-0 to Russia earlier this evening.

alitoast · 01-06-2012 11:33pm

France for me, if engerland are 12s how are France 11s, far better side in my opinion. Torres at 8/1 to be top prem scorer is worth a few I think RVP aside he's gotta be in with a chance

Bets
Outright holland and France
Prem top scorer torres

Has Prandelli got Italy set in a 3-5-2 formation or is it just a test?

firstsport · 02-06-2012 10:51am

PP has the first Irish player to score in the tournament special
Robbie Keane at 9/2. surely thats good !

Nuri Sahin · 02-06-2012 2:07pm

Ashley Young to be England's Top Goalscorer @ 7/1 (Ladbrokes)

No Lampard, Rooney missing for the opening two games, Gerrard playing deeper and on the wane, err Carroll... yeah.

Welbeck might get the nod and it could be a worry, or possibly if England get a couple of penalties. I think Gerrard will take them till Rooney is back. But well worth chancing a tenner me thinks on Young who seems to relish the international stage. England's joint top goalscorer in qualifying too.

ft9 · 02-06-2012 4:25pm

Got 6/1 on Ireland to get out of the group in Boyles today enhanced from 4's.Excellent value

Excellent offer in Ladbrokes for the Euro's in the Top Goalscorer Market

Bet €20 or more on a scorer and they will give you a free €5 bet for every goal the player scores
It also stands for E/W odds so you can bet €10 e/w as long as the total is €20 or more - You need to have an Odds On Card though

carbon nanotube · 03-06-2012 1:20am

handicap bets on all engerlands opposition +1

and ireland +1 vs croatia

anyone can get odds?

Yea, i agree with you about the offer as it also adds a bit to every game your pick is playing in too but the prices are generally a bit worse (ie Torres @ 14's but @ 16's with P/P. I dont have a link as i picked up betting sheet in shop about it - available nationwide i'm sure

dsmythy · 03-06-2012 7:23pm

Poland 11/4 to win their group. Bit large considering the group and home advantage.

Portugal same price to finish last in theirs. I just don't rate them at all.

Croatia to qualify 7/4. At the expense of Italy, they seem in disarray.

France 7/4 to win their group. I think they'll beat England and have is sewn up

What to do what to do....

Nuri Sahin · 03-06-2012 8:50pm

Wonder what are the odds for Ronaldo not to score a single goal for Portugal..

Mezcita · 03-06-2012 9:58pm

Last nights friendly vs Slovakia most likely showed Hollands 4 attacking players for the Euros:

Robben - Sneijder - Affelay
Van Persie

Affelay being the best man on the pitch.

Now if only a proper left back was born before the tournament started.

Looks like you called this right. A 6-0 win last night with Huntelaar starting on the bench. Can't see him starting now.

MattHelders · 04-06-2012 12:06am

Afellay to be Barca's top scorer at 16's is surely worth a punt. Has been in great scoring form for Netherlands

Lasagna Diarra · 04-06-2012 10:15am

Double:
France
Spain
@ 3.68

Tigerandahalf · 04-06-2012 11:46am

An accumulator on group winners Spain, France, Russia and Germany pays 20/1 with PP.
If you fancy a bit of reward a similar accumulator on Croatia, Greece, Germany and France pays 250/1.
If only 1 leg fails PP will refund bet.
Given that Germany and France are favourites to top group that has a lot of potential.

I did that bet this morning but didnt hear about the offer. Will I get the refund?

Have the same bet as you except Poland instead of Russia

He is playing well.
He is also having the "benefit" of being really fit for this tournament after being out for 8 months. No heavy full season in the legs.

Great bet i think, can see any Barca player with 2 goals winning the barca top scorer bet and Affelay certainly has a big chance of just doing that.

Only scored 5 in 38 though for Holland but have to mention those 5 came in his last 9. And only now will be really seen as first choice, most of the 38 he came off he bench.

Where does one make those "top scorer of their club during Euro2012" bets?

Paddy Power. Never saw in store. I use my phone for all my betting.

MattHelders · 04-06-2012 2:14pm

6/1 now. FFS, either I read it wrong or a serious amount of money has been put on him

Hamadeusentman · 04-06-2012 2:32pm

I like Iniesta to be player of the tournament at 14/1. I'm not just going by his performance against a well-organised China. I just reckon he'll run the show yet again in Spain's midfield and have a great Euros.

inforfun · 04-06-2012 2:44pm

He has been the best Dutch player in both last friendlies.
Dont think you saw it wrong.
PP had it wrong with the 16/1

Van Marwijk has a soft spot for Affelay. Dont think many other players would have been selected after not playing the entire season.
He rates him amongst Van Persie and Sneijder as it comes to being important for the team.

6/1 is still value i think.

nadasky08 · 04-06-2012 3:45pm

Made a few quid of the Player of the Tournament betting for the World Cup and Euro 2008. I see Mesut Ozil is 10/1 in some places but top price 14/1. Gonna have a few pound on that!:D

DB74 · 04-06-2012 8:05pm

Afellay is 12/1 with Stan James to be top Barca scorer (10/1 with Victor Chandler)

Surely that's great value.

Famous last words but it's hard to see that going wrong. And at most, you would imagine only one to go wrong.

We'll wait and see though haha

Hulk Hands · 05-06-2012 6:03am

Holland at 2/1 to win out their group. They should be near enough joint favs for that with Germany. Instead Germany are the ridiculous price of Evens, leaving the Dutch as a bit of value

Holland - Denmark H2H

Holland - Germany H2H

Holland - Portugal H2H

Said it earlier in this thread, those are not great H2H stats.
Holland will have done well when they get out of that group, dont even want to think about winning the group.

Juwwi · 05-06-2012 9:33am

The more I think about it 6/4 France to beat England looks a great bet.

Juwwi · 05-06-2012 11:05am

England to finish last in their group is 5/1

and England to get 0 points is 40/1 (not impossible).

Afflay top Barcelona scorer 12/1.

all with stan james.

Anyone got an opinion on the England bets?
My thinking is its their worst squad of players they have brought
to a championship and it could all go badly wrong for them.

Tigerandahalf · 05-06-2012 11:30am

I think England will do better than people are making out. For the first time in ages they have a class goalkeeper. They are solid at the back and if Hodgson sets them up right they wont concede much. They also have pace in Young and Walcott and Wellbeck looks in good form. I expect them to get out of group at least. All depends how good France are. Are they overrated. Their midfield is meant to be weak and I think Mvilla picked up an injury. Nasri, Rivery wont do much defending.

Is that 20/1 a special going to go to pp in awhile and back that. Fancy a few bets think they are great prices.

Spain 3/4 against Italy.
Germany 5/6 v Portugal.
France 6/4 v England.
Russia 13/10 v Poland.
France 10/11 v Sweeden.
Ireland 16/5 v Italy.

This tournament is the lowest expectations ever I can recall for England, even their media and fans dont rate them
this might actually work in their favour, as in they dont have much to lose

I can't see either of those England bets coming in, however I think they may struggle to qualify. I feel Ukraine will finsih bottom with 0 or possibly 1 point and England will finish 3rd with either 2 or 4 points. This leaves Sweden 2nd with 5 points and France top with 7. The reason I see this happening is Sweden play Ukraine first, so a win here and a draw against England in the second game will leave them on 4 and leave England needing a win against Ukraine in their final game assuming they lose to France in the opener. Sweden will then be up against most likely a 2nd string French side in their last game and should do enough to get a point. So even if england beat Ukraine in the final game they still wont qualify. I think England will concede very little but also score very little - probably 0 goals v France, 1 at best v Sweden and maybe 2 or 3 v Ukraine when Rooney is back.

One of my favourite football sites, www.zonalmarking.net, has started a series of articles on the upcoming EURO championships with a good in-depth look at each of the teams.

Poland & Russia are done already. Looking forward to the others in the week to come.

CrabieCrawford · 05-06-2012 2:39pm

Anyone know who'll be starting up top for Spain. Lot of people thinking Llorente, but he hasn't played at all in the last 3 friendlies. Is this just because hes had a long season?

If i thought negredo was a possible starter 14/1 to be spains top scorer is fairly good value.

Another few are: Portugal to finish bottom of the group @ 11/4
Italy bottom of the group @ 5/1
Holland/France final @ 50/1

Radonman · 05-06-2012 9:19pm

After much Debating these are my picks for the top goalscorer
Value bet
Ibrahimovic @ 50/1 with PP - I reckon he could score enough in the group games to win this plus 9 of their 10 qualifying games provided three or more goals therefore there are goals in that team, plus he is on peno's
Long Shot
Ozil @ 66/1 Lad / PP - Gremany have scored 3 or more in 8 of thier 10 qualifers and Ozil got 5, now i know he only got 6 in the whole Spanish season but with their open attacking style, why not

Main Bet
Benzema @ 14/1 Lads (because of their special offer posted earlier) - Enough said about him already:D:D

I'm going to put a small wager on Ukraine no wins @ 6/4 with PP - There build up has been brutal and i just cant see them getting a win in group D

gnella · 05-06-2012 10:06pm

KNOCKOUT GAMES TO GO TO PENALTIES
there wil be 7 k/o games in the tourney,4 qrt/finals, 2 s/f and the final.
29% of k/o games since 1980 have gone to penalties(avg. 2.03 games per tournament)
2008-2 games
2004-2 games
2000-1 game (france scored peno with 2 mins left in semi final & also scored winner of final in 2nd half of ET)
this suggests that 2 games is prob the most sensible bet if there is value,i think that it has a chance of going 2+ as teams these days are much more wary of losing k/o games.

RECOMMENDED BETS
1. two or more games 3.00 betvictor(this is one i am taking)
2. exactly two games 4.00 paddy power
3. three or more games 8.50 paddy power

gnella · 05-06-2012 10:07pm

TEAM TO CONCEDE MOST GOALS
there might be some value in markets like this as they are overlooked because most punters want to bet on goals scored markets.
looking back to past tourneys
2008- turkey conceded 7,they went to semi-final
2004- bulgaria(9)group stage,conceded 5 in opening game v sweden.portugal were next worst(7) and they went to final.
2000- yugoslavia(13) qrt final
teams that qualify from group stages do well here.
sweden conceded 11 in qualifying,9 of those versus top 4 in group.
group D (sweden group)is touted as the second most likely high scoring group
portugal conceded 12 in qualifying,8 versus top 4 in group.
group B (portugal group)includes germany and holland who top scored in qualifying.
portugal were in a 5 team group,sweden in a 6 team including san marino who scored zero so effectively a 5 team group.

RECOMMENDED BETS
1.portugal 19.00 paddy power
2.sweden 12.00 skybet

gnella · 05-06-2012 10:07pm

TEAM TO CONCEDE THE LEAST GOALS
the teams that are fav to win the tournament are also at the top of the betting here which seems to make litle sense as the will probably play more games and therefore have more chance of conceding.
looking back the years it seems that teams who concede least are eliminated early or are a top team who are defensively brilliant.
group A+C look most likely to produce the winner of this market.
group A-greece conceded 5 in qualifying,2 against top 4 in group.
group C-italy conceded 2 in qualifying,2 against top 4 in group.

RECOMMENDED BETS
1.italy 10.00 paddy power
2.greece 19.00 paddy power

gnella · 05-06-2012 10:09pm

OUTRIGHT WINNER
ok,this will be where most disagreements come as we will all be pitching opinions from mostly similiar shortlists.
i will break down my pick as simply as i can.
firstly,czech,greece,poland,russia,denmark,crotia, ireland,ukraine,sweden and england(leaving myself open to abuse here) ARE JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH AND WILL BE FOUND WANTING AT SOME STAGE
this leaves 6
SPAIN
GERMANY
HOLLAND
PORTUGAL
FRANCE
ITALY
holland and portugal concede too many goals and this will be their downfall,4 left.
spain have had a very successful few campaigns but are beginning to look tired as a squad and missing puyol and villa wont help,3 left.
italian football is being rocked by scandal at the moment and it has involved people in the international set-up,are there more players/officials going to be implicated in all this?enough reason for a no-bet if stuff comes out late tournament,2 left.

germany and france,i could give loads of reasons to pick either,they both have a great history in the comp,germany went 10/10 in qualifying scoring 34 goals and deserve to be in the top 2 in the betting but ultimately for me these tournaments are won by teams who improve as it goes on and i reckon germany could be on the wane and bayern providing 7 or 8 of the starting 11 could work against them.
france look to have a squad with lots of experience who are not too old,around 16 of the squad will have played in at least 2 qualifying games which gives loads of options on the bench and most importantly their top players are coming into the tourny on a high(nasri,malouda,benzema)

RECOMMENDED BET
1. france 13.00 various
