SkyBet are doing Bale to have a shot on target @2.00. Max stake of only £10 though (was gonna put the house and kids on it) but something to put on the Italy game later, i s'pose.

Just the one shot on target. SkyBet knew exactly what they were doing. Fair play to 'em.

Never knew a bookie would let someone to stake that much on high odd.
This isn't surprising. On Bet365, once you reach a certain stake amount, it goes to a trader and they decide whether they should let the bet go through. Most of the time, they do. These are nothing to the bookmakers. They make millions. What I'm surprised is the balls of steel this guy has. He is probably a millionaire.

If it's small odd (1-3), yes. But not when you are betting on high odd (above 4). Trader never allow a big stake on such a big odd like that.

Put a bit on Portugal @ 3.15. Decent value at the price.

Wouldn't mind seeing Belgium though, much prefer them as a team.

I’m on BTTS & Over 2.5 @ 2.36

Think thats fairly decent if it’s not cagey. Lots of attacking talent, not the best defensive teams.

Good call!
Wish I had more on it.
Interesting odds on Bodo Glimt this wednesday. 1.60 seems very high. Should be around 1.25.

Im on France @1.60 too.

There’s zero value (for me) in Spain @1.55 after watching their first three games this tournament. Can see an upset here, even without Perisic for Croatia. Or atleast ET.

Yeah I got burned by Spain twice so I’m not touching them. France is decent value. I shall check the Glimt game out!

Got up to £200 cash out on my acca when Croatia were winning. Should have of course taken it!
