    Gonna go for lukakku as top scorer, saw him at 20/1 and he's banging them in all season and in the recent warm up games, add to that the fact that Belgium should make a good tilt at the tournament and I reckon hel give you a good run for your money ( perhaps helped out by the Irish defence ).

    Apart from that I'm gonna have a punt on Spain, kinda coming in unfancied after their disastrous world cup but too many quality players not to bounce back and want to put it right.

    Looking at Portugal 's group and ronaldos fondness for really racking up the goals without mercy against the poor sides, he could have the golden boot won in the group stages.

    Portugal the dark horse for me

    It's in the Racing Post newspaper. It includes a 88 page pullout for the euros today. Costs 3 euro; most newsagents tend to have a couple of copies. For what it's worth I picked it up today and it's fairly detailed once you wade through the various ads for bookies. There's individual team + group write ups, top goalscorer and things like that.

    Tightest tournament in a long time. England have their best squad and have looked ok pre tournament. Spain have been doing well but if Casillas is in goal for anymore than the first match they may not get far. Even Ireland are in with a shout of drawing their way out of their group.

    Onky taking one bet for now which is an extreme Longshot but the man is great for Belgium and pops up with important goals.

    Fellaini top scorer ew at 150/1

    Also looking at kante for player of the tournament, if France win the tournament he will be well up there.

    Like the last world cup, Spain are the best squad, but bad management puts them at risk again.

    He might go on and deserve it but you can be sure the UEFA will pick someone more glamorous.

    Euro 2016 preview done by "We Love Betting" is probably on "Racing Post" level and it's actually free.
    You can download it here - https://en.calameo.com/read/004618841e0b786e1e522

    I don't think teams have too much to be worried about going by the way this England team is playing. Against 10 men since 30 minutes. Its like watching paint dry.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,134 ✭✭✭✭Rayne Wooney


    Martial won't start for us.


    I'm biased after he almost saved United's season!

    Who do you fancy for top scorer for France? Griezmann looks very short, Giroud has outscored him in the last 5-6 France games


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,191 ✭✭✭✭Shanotheslayer


    I've had these bets placed for months now as I figured there would be movement on them closer to the tournament:

    France -1.25 1.9 ( Line is now -1.5 at 2.0)
    France Win HT 10/11 ( Now 4/5)

    Germany win 4/7 ( Now 1/2)
    Poland Win 5/6 (Now 4/6)


    All Singles. Including a double on Poland/Germany

    Lads, has to be value in Sweden Top Goalscorer aside from Ibra? He's 4/9 Fav and 2nd Fav is 10/1. Anyone know much about other goalscorers there?


    Thinking a Lay bet on Ibra

    Definitely Giroud as Griezmann will likely play on the wing and he doesn't seem to handle pressure very well. Payet could get a few goals too imo.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,191 ✭✭✭✭Shanotheslayer


    Ibra Over 1.5 goals 6/5 much better value than Sweden TGS.
    Griezmann Under 3.5 10/11
    Bale Over 1.5 4/5
    Guidetti(Thanks to Infor) Sweden TGS. 12/1

    What bookies do the over/under market?

    What bookies do the over/under market?

    Sorry, should have stated, BET365.

    Only doing:

    Bale Over 1.5
    Ibra Over 1.5
    Griezmann 3.5
    Muller 3.5


    I didn't take the 3.5 market on muller as I did him TGS E/W in tournament at 7/1 which I feel is better Value


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 642 ✭✭✭CrabieCrawford


    Is Berg not more likely to play alongside Ibra for sweeden? Most of the predicted lineups seem to go for him.

    Also from the mangager via skysports:

    Hamren said: "I find that it works well with the two [Berg and Guidetti], even if I see Marcus Berg being a little bit ahead at the moment. Marcus was good at the end of the season in Greece and he scored."


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,436 ✭✭✭Austria!


    Is there any site with reliable predicted line ups? Could be some value in top team goalscorer

    Giroud apparently in Deschamps plans to start for France as a partner for Griezmann.

    Tipple on him for top scorer will be done I'd imagine.
    callaway92 wrote: »
    More than likely, no.

    Giroud main striker up front with Griezmann & Payet supporting him. Déschamps is a big fan of Giroud.

    Pogba, Matuidi & Kanté mids.

    Brace for Giroud tonight. On a nice run going into the tournament.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 182 ✭✭Beastermc


    Muller, Lewandowski, Ronaldo, Kane, Ibra, Bale and Dzyuba all to be their country's top scorers.


    I have something similar done. Ronaldo, lewandowski, Kane, Martial, De Bruyne and Morata. €3 for €2000! Martial and de bruyne are the money makers, 4/1 and 9/2, just hoping they carry their fine club form into this.

    Giroud is 3/1 and is far more likely you'd think given his recent form for France and the fact he's starting

    He is indeed, especially after his couple of goals last night. I'm just one of these naysayers against Giroud for no reason other than his lack of pace and mobility, but he's getting harder and harder to ignore with his good form! I was just thinking that when it comes to playing the better defenses martial would have more about him to get a goal in a tight match, but it doesn't mean squat if he's not starting! I think I'll do another one with Giroud, and maybe no de bruyne either.

    Austria to win it?

    a good outside bet? @ 40/1

    40s isn't awful, but you'd still have to assume one of France/Spain/Germany will win it I'd imagine.

    Couldnt convince me at all last night against Holland.
    Holland were the much better team and that is a team "managed" by Danny ****ing Blind

    Any tips for the group tricasts guys? (i.e 1st belgium, 2nd italy, 3rd ireland)

    Anyone predict any major upsets in group stages?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,275 ✭✭✭✭How Soon Is Now


    Anyone know why you can't group the top scorer for there team bets together on paddy power anymore?

    Can remember doing it for previous tournament s.
