Bitten by an adder as a baby, the adder died.
I think a smart bet would be on a team that hasn't qualified for the Euros; the other teams will be knackered preparing for the tournament and will be experimenting with tactics. I haven't decided which to plump for.

The only team to win the opening game of the tournament in the last 32 years, or simply the only team to win the first group game of the tournament since the group phase was introduced, is France in '84. Czechoslovakia, Portugal and Switzerland all lost the opening games, although both Portugal and the Czechs lost to the eventual winners. Germany drew with Italy in '88 and Romania in '00, semi-finalists and quarter-finalists respectively. Sweden drew with France and England drew with Switzerland, neither of whom made it to the knockout stages.

Everything points to Poland getting a draw at best in the opening game.

3.2 for Greece on a Draw No Bet is very generous on Betfair, got £15 on it. £40 on the draw at 3.2 as well.

This SkyBet loyalty thing is amazing......I just drop £10 bets on like Nadal winning when he's 2 sets and a break up and you get £20 in free bets. Brilliant.

Though with the new month, I only have a fiver to start on the Euros and obviously wants in my bank account, but I generally only use that for the £10 bets to get the tokens, and the free bets for more serious bets.

Just gonna with a draw opening game.

£20 double done on Poland and Russia gets me £95 back if it comes in.
Had the same double - but less of a stake - not happy with Poland. They should have comfortably won the game.

Cheers Brwned, I went and stuck £20 on the draw after reading this :)

Icelandic league is in full swing and you can bet on all the leagues and the U-19 league, men and women. You can always get good odds on them as well. I just won an accumulator where I had two women's game. The team at the top of the league wasn't made favorite and the team on the bottom of the league with no wins was made a favorite. Guess what I bet on.

So if you want tips on obscure leagues like the Icelandic I can help out. I follow it a lot, it's my job and I even play in the 3rd league if I have the time.

You look at statistics from last season its not actually a bad bet 5 pen misses, most shots at goal in league and hit the woodwork 40 times could of been a very different season
:lol: that old chestnut

Was he deliberately trying to make the worst football bet of the year? 25/1 is one of the worst odds he could've taken. You can get up to 41/1 in other places.

There has not been that much movement in or out of Anfield this summer but despite this, Liverpool now constitute around 40% of all stakes that we have taken on the Premier League winner market
They are so adoreable :D
