If you are betting on Ireland game make sure you are betting with bet365. They have great odds and are giving a risk free in play bet on the Irish games if you bet prematch.

Betstars also have bet 30 and get 5 free.

Betvictor have a million pound goal promo if you place a £5 bet. You pick a player and time of first goal in final and the correct predictions share £1000000 jackpot. Might be worth throwing a few bets there to earn your predictions. Bet victor also pride themselves on their football odds.

Boylesports are doing price bombs I noticed the last couple of games. For example had Ronaldo to score in second half last night at 3/1 when he was 6/4 on others and trading at 2.7 on exchanges. So that was good value bet even if he didn't manage to score.

Others sure have promotions but I don't check them all as I'm banned. But if you're betting you're giving money to the bookies. They set the odds in their favour. They have more data and info and modelling algorithms than you have so you won't outwit them long term. So I only bet if they are giving me something back in return like a free bet.

Also to mention collossus bets do a pool on the correct scores. They give a free ticket once per week. You can cash out if you get one or two results so you don't have to be in for the full jackpot. Sky bet Super 6 and six-a-side are also free to enter with a big prize pot. I like to play.

I remember a few tournaments ago Sweden and Denmark both needed a 2-2 draw to qualify in last round of group matches. They got it. Also there was a match in serie b at the end of this season which the bookies all totally mispriced. Both teams needed a single point , one for promotion playoff and one for relegation safety. Not surprising it was a draw.

There is nothing clear cut in Euro but I'm looking at some pressure for a draw in these games:

France vs Switzerland... France need a point to top the group and Switzerland will guarantee qualification with a point. Swiss might go for the win but think they'll happily settle. Runner up play probably Poland or Northern Ireland. Winner plays 3rd place team which could be anyone incl Poland Northern Ireland, ireland, Sweden, Belgium or Czech. So much the same. 2/1 for the draw.

England vs Slovakia... A draw guarantees qualification for England and Slovakia it probably should put them through as a best placed third. The runner up in this group could end up with Portugal though so England do have some motivation to top the group which could work against me. 5/2 for the draw.

Germany vs N Ireland... A point would guarantee Germany qualification and would hopefully give the north a best placed 3rd. Of course Germany playing in second gear could probably beat most teams and also have the carrot of 3rd placed team in the next round if they top the group - but don't think they are afraid of anyone and would probably beat whoever they get in next round anyway. 5/1 for the draw.

Spain vs Croatia.. A point guarantees top for Spain and qualification for Croatia. Quite strong forces behind this one for a draw but Croatia might want to win to avoid the Italians but I don't think they'd be good enough. 2/1 for the draw.

On the same note I think ireland are worth a bet to win against Italy. It is a dead rubber for Italy as they are already guaranteed top spot win lose or draw and will probably face Croatia. Ireland NEED to win for any chance. 9/4 for ireland win.

So they are my 5 tips for the final round of matches. I might have a tenner on each and will be up if I get at least 2.

[bennocelt]

Who do you fancy so far David to lift the trophy?
For me Spain and Croatia are the best i have seen so far

[davidatrb]

France and Germany were pre tournament favourites but Spain look like 10/3 favs now.

I have a free bet on England with bet bright, a free bet on Spain with Boyle and a risk free bet on Germany on Betstars.

Who will win? I have no clue!

I like France for home advantage and they have exciting young players keeping the pressure to perform on the more experienced players. I like coman, martial for example. They can't even make the first 11 and benzema didn't even make the squad. They were also given an easier route to final than most.

[bennocelt]

Feck England, bang goes my last four tip.............and Russia, no effort at all

Have a few bets still alive for tomorrow group
Single To Win Exactly 3 Points @ 10/3 Team Points in Group Northern Ireland Group Points €4.00 (I actually think Norn Iron might snatch a draw)

Single To Win Turkey @ 8/1 To Lose All Group Matches Team to Lose All Three Group Matches €1.00 (feel this might come up)


Single To Win Turkey @ 20/1 Team To Concede Most Goals Team To Concede The Most Goals €1.00 (russia got -6, so need a few, and Ukr look dodgy at -4)


Single To Win Turkey @ 16/1 Lowest Scoring Team Lowest Scoring Team €2.00 (think this looks good,

Single To Win
1st Spain, 2nd Czech Republic, 3rd Croatia @ 17/2 Group Tricast Group D Tricast €2.00 (dont think it will happen, 2-0, spain win....)

Back in the game tomorrow

You've been quite unlucky bennocelt - kind of put a lot of your eggs in the same basket (Eng winning group in your tricast, Eng 9 pts, Eng and Fra making semis).

But the thing is that you won't beat the bookie (they set the odds in their favour and add a margin making it unlikely that you win). Even if you did win consistently enough then they would bar you.

So long as it's fun and costing you no more than the price of a cinema ticket per week then it is value entertainment - but be careful.

There are so many reasons why bookies are greedy heartless thieves .....

[davidatrb]

Single To Win Slovakia @ 7/4 €5.00 (free PP bet)


Single To Win
England @ 19/20 €20.00 (pp promo bet)

R Lewandowski @ 11/10 Anytime Goalscorer Poland v Northern Ireland €10.00 (PP free 5 pound bet)

This is really bugging me too, I think that you are wasting your free bets. Free bet is stake not returned - so with a €5 free bet on something like evens with a 50-50 chance of happening (like above Lewandowski anytime scorer or England to win) you will win €5 about half the time and €0 the other half, so maybe €25 total winnings on 10 bets. But go for something with longer odds like 4/1 then you will win €20 about once in 5, so maybe €40 total winnings on 10 bets.

Don't waste you're free bets like that. Go for stuff like 5/1, 6/1, 7/1 that won't win as often but will win more money in the long run..

[bennocelt]

Single To Win Exactly 3 Points @ 10/3 Team Points in Group Northern Ireland Group Points €4.00 (I actually think Norn Iron might snatch a draw)

Banked a whopping 10!
Running total -164

7 and a bit to play with

Double To Win
Czech Republic @ 7/5
Spain @ 19/20 €3.00 Pending

Some silly bets (aren't all my bets silly so far??)
Czech Republic to win and 3 or 4 total goals in the match @ 9/2 €2.33
Czech Republic 3 - 0 @ 25/1 €1.00
Spain 3 - 2 @ 45/1 €1.00

[davidatrb]

The way the favourites have all ended up on the bottom of the draw means some teams like Belgium and Croatia are more likely to make the final than expected.

As a result an e/w bet is quite likely to pay out on the place part. So that you are getting very good odds on Belgium @ 15/2 ew on bet365. Bet365 are also returning win part of stake on outright bets if team goes out by penos.

So my tip is Belgium e/w @15/2 on bet365.

[bennocelt]

Yeah good call,I fancy them to get to the final now that the draw is lopsided.........there is the kiss of death for ya
