Those odds are short. I stuck the same bet on earlier at just over 4/1 with Bet Victor.

[dan1306]

I just checked, I basically got 4/1, just under. It's only a fiver double. I only really bother to shop around if it's gonna be a big stake (or big return)

[punkskamonkey]

Yeah, I fancied that double, but the biggest odds were at BetVic and I don't have an account there, so instead went for the maximum free bet sign up offer, so just went for Poland in the first game, then if that wins I'll withdraw most of it, and put some on Russia, or maybe use the freebet for Russia if it comes through in time. Lifestory, ah.

£10 each way on Kerzhakov top scorer with Ladbrokes at 33/1, is available at 40s, but at Lads you get a free £5 bet each time he scores.
Also gone £2 on all of:
Pol/Rus to qualify from group A, 9/4
Greece = 0 pts, 9/1
Ukraine = 0 pts, 14/1
Russia = 9 pts, 9/1
Sweden = 5 pts, 14/1
Mandzukic to be top Croatian scorer, 7/1
ditto Keane/Ireland, 10/3
as above, Kadlec/Czechs, 10/1
and again, Young/England, 6/1
final time for Benzema/France, 5/2

Seeing as I'm usually awful at (football) betting, I may have gone way overboard here.

No idea if anyone uses the betfair iPhone app, but they've now added multiple betting to the app which makes it much easier as trying to set up a accy in safari was a pain in the ass.

£15 on Robben first scorer
£5 on Muller first scorer

[Nellie]

I'm feeling reckless... £200 @ 1.81 on Holland.

[Dodger_123]

Hahaha, wheyyyy.

[dan1306]

as soon as holland went 1 - 0 down i put £50 on them to win at 21/10. thought they'd been creating chances and would come back quite easily. when they didn't i went and put £50 on germany at 6/5 before KO to chase my losses. pretty nervy but managed to claw back my £50

[dan1306]

Hahaha, wheyyyy.

uncalled for

[Morgan]

Spain/france double looks decent value. I got just under 4/1 on hills i think.

[Niall]

Had a fiver free bet on Germany last night. Thinking of laying under 2.5 in the Ireland match.

[Dodger_123]

Hahaha, wheyyyy.

uncalled for

I admire the guy for having the bollocks to spunk £200 on one bet, to be fair.

[Niall]

I've got under 2.5 goals on both games today. Just under 3/1.

[Nellie]

Ah well.

Come on Ireland! 4.2 for the win - tough match to call but I've faith in the pikeys. They're big game players.

[dan1306]

need russia to win 3-1 for £210 off a £1 (got it doubled with czechs to win 2 - 1 against greece)

[Niall]

Had both teams to score before half time in Portugal v Denmark. Quite fancy Denmark to sneak a draw out of this.

Also have Germany v Holland BTTS. Surely that's a banker?

[97jambar]

If Holland don't turn this around then I'm going to have to give up on betting for this tournament I think. I don't bet big amounts so I haven't actually lost much but nothing at all seems to be coming in for me this year. Getting slightly comical now.

[Niall]

£30 up on today's football.

Put £5 on Gomez netting the next goal. His hat trick is written in the stars now, right? 8/1

[Morgan]

Germany/Gomez only thing keeping me afloat...had a bit on gomez to score/German win v Denmark which came good. All other bets lost on each game, then I did same bet again last night. Around break even for the euro's.
Gomez for top goalscorer imo

[97jambar]

If Holland don't turn this around then I'm going to have to give up on betting for this tournament I think. I don't bet big amounts so I haven't actually lost much but nothing at all seems to be coming in for me this year. Getting slightly comical now.

Even Italy at 1-0 up didn't come in for me. Only redeeming factor is that I'm betting with money in a betting account I'd forgotten about so it feels like free money

Got Spain to win with a -1 handicap for tonight. If that doesn't come in I'm really having to throw in the towel.

[dan1306]

i won £100 on a greyhound race earlier. traps 2 and 4 reverse forecasts for the win

[r-o-s-s]

Sick degen.

[-adam-]

Had a few small bets on - England FT, England HT/FT, 35-55 booking points and Sweden most bookings. Made £50 from that lot, £100 so far for the tournament, Holland fucked me over early on or I would have had more.

[Niall]

Stuck a fiver on BTTS tonight. Easy. 10/11
