    Outright Bet:
    Germany @ 4/1

    Top Goalscorer Bets:
    Gomez @ 10/1, Benzema 20/1 and Lewandowski @ 50/1

    Not much to say except I believe in this German side like I did Uruguay last summer. I think France have a real chance of doing well and possibly winning this too despite lack of talk about them.

    Gomez is Gomez.

    Benzema, as for comment above. Their main striker, etc, etc.

    Lewandowski for an E/W bet is well worth having something on too IMO, he's been brilliant for BVB this season and Poland like so many host nations in the past might get swept up in the moment and play way above their ability.

  • Registered Users Posts: 6,303 ✭✭✭Lasagna Diarra


    I'll definitely have a bet on France @ 10.50

    I'm obviously biased but...
    -we are unbeaten in 18 games!!
    -we beat Brazil
    -we beat England in England
    -we beat the two host countries, Ukraine & Poland
    -we beat Germany in Germany

    I also expect us to play quite an attacking football, our NT team coach have no clue how to defend, his teams always were high scoring. And with Obraniak, Piszek and Blaszczykowski supplying, I think Lewandowski can score a few goals.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,998 ✭✭✭grohlisagod


    Thinking of backing Spain and Germany from the start at 5/2 and 7/2 as I really can't see anyone else winning it.

    Lewandowski is worth a look at such a big price. Have my eye on Pavlyuchenko/Pogrebnyak at 66/1 too considering the quality of the group. I won't go near Soldado or Llorente until it becomes clear who is first choice.

    There could be some value in Huntelaar at 20/1 also. He's got a very good recent record for the national team and his form has been fantastic for Schalke.

    The Dutch served me well in the last tournament so will have an E/W on them @ 7/1 as well as a decent single on Germany. Portugal @ 18/1 looks fairly good too

    Good to see you back Stinger. Yeah I just think an opening day win can spur the nation and team on. Once that momentum builds well, as we have seen with other host nations in the past.. it can take some stopping. That Dortmund spine, it's not really a spine as such but go with me, is excellent and Szczesny in goal you's have a very talented keeper.. you just never know. I don't know much about Obraniak myself except he used to be with Lille last season and Bordeaux now.

    A lot of the other players are over my head I got to admit. Jelen aside.

    As i said, good to hear from ya!

    Any chance refs will favour the host nations again?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,687 ✭✭✭stingerro


    I don't think refs protection is such a big issue in EC comparing to WC. But, we had to paid big money (mostly provided by Ukraine oligarchs) to get Euro 2012, maybe we have some eurocents left to paid referees as well :cool: Or at least Ukrainians have :).

    TiltedBrain & Ade - thanks.

    Like most on here i will be backing the Germans. Tough group but still its hard to look past them.


  • Registered Users Posts: 629 ✭✭✭PurpleSt4in


    it'll be whoever tops the group of death/ spain for the outright

    France could go either way, never know what to expect from French teams at major tournaments! have the talent but we'll see.. could be dark horses!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22 aidantracey


    Cant really see anyone from group A or C to go as far as final, Who ever tops group d will be my best bet, If portugal can come out of that group might be worth doing E/W at 20/1


  • Registered Users Posts: 95 ✭✭Macronelf

    If you have a betfair account you could lay them to win the euros. The lay is currently about 11/1


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,398 ✭✭✭✭Collie D


    Patriotic punt on Ireland to qualify from group at 4/1. Have had a few nibbles at 5/1 but that's gone now. Small weekly bets to pay for trip to Ukraine should they pull it off :D A reasonable enough price IMO although wouldn't back them any lower than the current 4/1.


  • Registered Users Posts: 95 ✭✭Macronelf


    Thanks a lot


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,251 ✭✭✭Juwwi


    Anyone else think Torres at 20/1 is worth a bet considering his apparent return to form
    at the moment and with Villa's injury.

    Torres even when playing very well for Liverpool was struggling for Spain, with his direct style he's not a best fit for their Tiki-taka style. Still think Soldado and Llorente will be main strikers for Spain NT - for example Llorente despite being so dominant in the air, is much more comfortable in possession and building attacks than Torres. IMO Del Bosque will go for him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,979 ✭✭✭Vurnon San Benito


    France worth a punt I reckon - new team, new manager, new era for them.

    Already have a considerable lump on France to beat England in the groupstage - think they'll have far too much for the Eng crowd.

    Serious money to be made at the Euro's lads!


  • Registered Users Posts: 629 ✭✭✭PurpleSt4in


    don't think Roy Hodgson will be able to command the dressing room, IMO

    I see England having a shocking tournament and bowing out in the group stages with at most 3 points!

    Poland could well make it out of their group

    For top goalscorers I have a little provisional list of players I will keep an eye on!

    whichever Russian striker looks to be a cert starter could be worth a gamble (Kerzhakov/Pavyluchenko)

    Gomez for Germany as I expect them to reach the semi's at least (providing they make it out of that group)

    whichever Spanish striker leads the line

    RVP for Holland/ Benzema for France


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,687 ✭✭✭stingerro


    England under Roy Hodgson strikes me as under 2.5 goals in their every match.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 408 ✭✭lamoss


    I think that quiet a lot of the games will be under 2.5 goals and will end up as draws as well. A few daily doubles for me ;)

    10/11 with PP. I'm sure there's better value about. Anything better and I'm on this.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,536 ✭✭✭Dolph Starbeam


    Going to have a big bet on Germany to win outright. Will also be putting 20 on France to Win w/ Benzema Top Scorer @100/1.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,278 ✭✭✭jArgHA


    Threw a tenner on Lewandowski as top scorer at 50/1. If Poland win their first match against Greece and Lewandowski scores, I may consider just trading it out though depending on what his odds drop to.

    :pac:

    Not the smartest trading plan if I can offer my opinion.
    Couldn't see it going below 40's - and you'd need to have a considerable wedge on it to make any money at all.

    the groups in the image in the OP are wrong- only A is right, if that's what your basing that on. spain are in group C

    Really? I just assumed he would drop to 30 or thereabouts. Yeah maybe it was a bit hasty..

    yeah so now you can see when ireland beat england or france they'll have holland or germany to beat to get to the final :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,338 ✭✭✭yesno1234


    Just got an email from Vic Chandler, money back if Spain win the Euro's up to a max bet of €/£50.

    Can't see anyone but Spain or Germany winning so I'll more than likely be having £50 on Germany to win outright at 3/1. Crap bookies but fairly good offer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 712 ✭✭✭Formation


    Having a look at some of the euro markets and see that in group c:

    Spain to win and Italy to place 2nd is 9/5 with powers.

    Surely there is huge value in that price?

    Spain should definately win and Italy are far stronger this year than either Croatia or Ireland as Croatia wont have much possession against Italy and our central midfield is championship level.

    What do ye think?

    Soldado is chancing it a tad. Chances will be there and hopefully he takes them if he does start.

    I think france with the team they have are great odds, Lewandowski is a good bet too dont forget about benzema 20/1 is a good bet with him coming good this and of the season. huntalaar over RVP any day as RVP has never had a full season with out injury it will come in the euros.

    Soldado is out of form big time.

    I find it funny that ireland are the team least likely to win the euros and can get them at 100/1 now, Them knowing that france or england in the next stage will spur them on to get their.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,259 ✭✭✭TheRedDevil10


    Germany to win and Gomez topscorer, 14/1 :)

    Soldado bet was made the moment Villa's injury was confirmed, so quite sometime ago.

    I'll probably have a bet on France as my secondary bet. 100 quid on Germany already, but might put 25 if not a little more at France later on the week/after the friendlies.

    Few days ago I was told to look at Michael Carrick, who was 11/8 at Coral, which I agree is (was?) an excellent price. Hodgson will go for experience and Carrick is heavily backed by his United teammates. Plus with Wilshere and Rodwell injury central midfield options are limited.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,253 ✭✭✭batistuta9


    I think a holland - france final is a possibility & might stick a few quid on it
    from the link in the OP it's 50/1 with bet365 & william hill but only 25/1 with ladbrokes

    few quid as well on huntelaar & tomas muller for top scorer

    & maybe E.W on lewandowski & kerzhakov

    Have tried to predict how the groups and knockout stages will go and end up with both France and Holland losing in the Semi finals to Germany and Spain, obviously its just my opinion and I am really liking France ahead of this but its very hard to look past Germany and Spain.

    yeah for that final the way i worked it out would have the same semi finalists as you

    but for that final to happen germany & france need to win their groups + everything else go as expected so as the semi's are like this:
    1: germany v france
    2: holland v spain
    then holland to win it

    if france don't win their group i can't see them getting to the final, i think they'd beat germany (maybe it's because of the last friendly idk, but think they will) but couldn't see them getting past spain if they finish R.up in D

    Holt if he makes the squad , some of the goals he scores are great and he can make something out of nothing.

    The betting is for who makes the squad. Holt is 11/2 to make it.

    Zamora 11/4 used to play under Hodgaon has a chance of getting in the squad.

    Woy is nuts, but there isn't a hope he'd take Zamora. Stand to be corrected of course :D
