Could be another good mini Frankel as Licence bolts up on debut for Ger Lyons and Colin Keane. Will post when out again hopefully won’t be too long.


in other news Derby winner Adayer looks to to be heading for the king George and Hurricane Lane to the Irish Derby.

I'm on Palmeiras -1.5 AH v CRB in the Copa Brasil @ 1.80

Strong Palmeiras team. Only 1-0 up from the first leg and I see no reason why they won't win by 2+

What a weird game, Palmeiras absolutely battered CRB but just cannot score! 30 shots to CRB's 2 and they're 1-0 down :lol:

Just not their night!

Boyle has Winner to be from Group f at 15/8. I would say this is a decent bet. I don’t really have any big fancy for outright at the Euro. I do like Portugal team, I think it’s nicely balanced and with pretty decent depth. France will obviously be strong and Germany will be alright too. I am fairly confident that at least 1 of these teams will get to the final and they’d all probably be near favourites against anyone. You could arb out for profit assuming one got to the final. I would probably have 11/10 or something fair price.

Don’t see England winning anything with Southgate, Spain have covid issues (all away to get vaccinated which could bring fatigue issues for first 2 games) as well as not being that strong, Belgium are a threat and Holland have same problems as England with a very poor manager.


Gravenberch YPOTT at 33s looks a little big too. Great midfielder and will stand out if Holland can do okay. Think they’ll struggle but he should shine. Award probably goes to a finalist though. Talent wise he should definitely be shorter.

SportingIndex got it at 21/10 if you can get on, not showing up on Oddschecker for some reason. Managed a bit with them earlier but already had max win limited to £50, price has stayed up though

Who are people thinking as golden Boot winner?
Most sites doing the bet ten on, and get a £3 free bet or near enough for every goal they score...

I'm thinking Lukaku based on group games but interested in thoughts

I've gone for a few teams not to qualify from groups
Hungary
Macedonia
Finland
Slovakia
@2.87

Also fancy Hungary lowest scoring team @5.50

To be their teams top scorers:
Lukaku
Kane
Benzema
Lewandowski
Depay
@62/1

Also done the above bet but added Hungary with no goal scorer aswell to fling to odds upto over 500/1.


I might aswell start just setting fire to my money tbh.

I was thinking that…

Did France outright winners 4/1

Croatia outright winners 40/1

Griezman top scorer 20/1

He’s like a forgotten man but always seems to score when France play was runner up in the WC and golden boot winner at the 2016 Euros..

It was tempting, however I plumped for Lukaku on the back of a decent season, and they have a fairly easy group too. Hoping he’ll make hay vs the smaller teams as usual.

Yeah he’s a flat track bully that can create something from nothing could score high.

Philippines v Guam. Guam are 28-1 on sky. Philippines is riddled with Covid and my missus is Filipino and she reckons they’re crap at the best of times.

Put £3 on them at 33/1, I hope you’re right.

Rom's the right favourite but I'bve had a few quid on Wijnaldum. Plays further forward for the Dutch and has a good scoring record. price definitely too big.

Bruno Fernandes to have 10 or more shots on target throughout the entire tournament 45/1

__________________________________________________________________

More of a fun bet more then anything. I wouldn't have personally done this bet until I watched Portugal play Israel during the week and I noticed Bruno was playing far more advanced then he usually would for his national side. I think Portugal will go far in the competition and Bruno does love a shot or two outside the box. If (and big IF) Ronaldo was to get injured, he would be on penalty duties which could help this bet also

Hope you like Adobo! We’re watching on a lousy stream with Tagalog commentary and she’s right, the Philippines are crap but Guam are a bloody shambles. I reckon my dog could get a game for them.

Had a decent bet on Italy Over 1.5 team goals @ 1.87. Was in two minds with it as I imagine it will be a close game but I went with it in the end. I think Turkey might score too so did have a look at BTTS @ 2.22 but decided against it.

Good luck . Think the odds are a bit too low though.
