holland france
 
by far the best game of the tournament so far

end to end stuff with some fantastic football

hollands 2nd goal was superb and they are looking great for a final place so far

enjoyable stuff

Tony2005 June 13th, 2008 20:22

Yes they are very entertaining but a little worried about their defence...great game though..and a cracker when the Italians meet the French next week

themanwiththeknow June 13th, 2008 20:39

10 goals in group c
 
7 of those 10 scored by holland

dont think it really matters about there defence, they have that you score 2 we,ll score 3 mentality

on those 2 performances i can see a final place for the dutch

if holland win their 1/4 final match and the runners of this group also win their 1/4 final match then they both meet in the semis

maybe it is in hollands best interest if romania go thru with them

seeing how holland have topped the group they can let romania beat them on tuesday and send france and italy home which would mean they wouldnt meet france or italy in semis

but saying that after beating italy 3-0 and france 4-1 would they really miond meeting either in the semis?

cracking game of football

TheCaptain June 13th, 2008 20:41

Did I mention my concerns....
 
About the French - Lol

Great game though.....

:clap:

Tony2005 June 13th, 2008 21:03

Lol, yep great game.....poor old Pborowolves has Kuyrt first goal and holland 3-1 at 150/1............thats sick..

themanwiththeknow June 14th, 2008 10:03

is today the day
 
we get back on track??

spain vs sweden

strongly fancy spain to win and seal their passage to the the 1/4 finals today but they are abit short @ 1.68 for my liking, sweden have a couple of players out and spain are expected to play the same 11 that destroyed russia 4-1, maybe spain -1 goal @ 2.25 could be a bet, spain to win and 3 or more goals in the game @ 3.20 looks decent

greece vs russia

greece were shocking against sweden in the first game and deserved to lose, although russia lost 4-1 they actually played some good football vs spain and at times made spain look pretty poor, russia hit the post at 1-0 down and if that went in could have been a totally different game, russia are better than the 4-1 scoreline suggests

can see russia beating greece and sending greece home today, russia @ 2.27 looks about right, not too much value

both games to have 2 or more goals @ 2.04 looks an absolute stonking bet imo!!

can see maybe 3-4 goals in spain game and can see 2-3 goals in russia game

both games to have 2-3 goals @ 3.64 looks a good shout

Tony2005 June 14th, 2008 10:16

Yep i agree i see both as overs today....The Spanish are a great attacking team and there should be plenty of goals in that game..

The Russians can score goals and i think this will be overs too, and a good attacking game.....

bally73 June 14th, 2008 11:06

my vote would be both overs aswell and not a bad return

TheCaptain June 14th, 2008 13:00

Ok - I have to disagree on the Greece Game - I was dreadfully dissappointed with them in the first game, but they tried to play like they did in the last tourney. DEFEND DEFEND DEFEND DEFEND DEFEND DEFEND DEFEND NICK A GOAL DEFEND SOME MORE. They got caught in the first game but I still think they will play the same again. Only problem was again I could not see where the goal was coming from and I think therefore Russia will win.

As such I would plump for HT Draw FT Russia

I think Spain will win, but Sweden surprised me in the first game, so I agree overs would be the sensible bet here, don't care who scores as long as someone does!

themanwiththeknow June 14th, 2008 14:38

todays bets
 
ht draw, ft russia @ 6.30 (£5.00)

spain win with 3 or more goals in the game @ 3.20 (£5.00)

£10.00 staked

Tony2005 June 14th, 2008 14:50

Today we need to get back to winning ways........

bennythedip2 June 14th, 2008 14:59

overs
 
Both games (Sat)

Greece
Spain about 8.4 the double

themanwiththeknow June 14th, 2008 17:56

talk about getting out of jail
 
spain manage to snatch a win in the 92nd min after playing absolutly garbage

our bet of spain to win with 3 or more goals has come in and gives us returns of £16.00

so we end the day in profit at least and are back to winning ways

we still have another bet in the greece/russia game so our profit could be larger come the end of the day, but minimum we end the day £6.00 in profit, if the russia bet comes in we end the day £32.50 in profit

so well done guys, back to winning ways today, lets hope we can kick on from here

TheCaptain June 14th, 2008 18:24

Phew - Has HT Draw FT Spain in that game - Was pretty tight! And now part 2 of the double! HT Draw FT Russia

Tony2005 June 14th, 2008 18:27

well they didnt deserve that............but we did so good news for us.

Lets hope we can complete the double with The russian game....gl us

themanwiththeknow June 15th, 2008 12:06

back to winnings ways yesterday
 
lets get more of the same today

i always find it a good idea to leave games that mean nothing and switzerland vs portugal means exactly that, portugal finish top no matter what and switzerland finish bottom no matter what

so if was going to back anything here it would be goals

turkey/czech rep is set up to be a cracking game with the winners going through, i personally hope the czechs make it through as i have portugal and czech rep to qualify from the group @ 3.00

can actually see this game being very cagey in the 1st half with obviously no team wanting to lose, if this game ends a draw then its straight to a pen shootout, something i have never seen in a group game of a euro competition :eek!: both teams are 5.50 to qualify by pen shootout!

my bet here is ht draw ft czechs @ 5.90 or czechs to win with 2 or less goals in game @ 3.75 also czechs to score 1st goal 28 mins or later @ 3.20 looks good bet

bennythedip2 June 15th, 2008 12:15

hmm
 
All a bit complicated for me :gh: so i'll just say.... :'D


Portugal ..win
Czech ...win



glk us

Tony2005 June 15th, 2008 12:18

yep think it should be a good game...and i agree with Benny...

bally73 June 15th, 2008 14:59

i also agree with benny 8-P

themanwiththeknow June 15th, 2008 18:30

bookies
 
dont fancy portugal tonight

2.60 on betdaq :eek!:

tonights bet is a double on portugal and czechs @ 3.07 (£5.00)

ive went for the added security of draw no bet, so stakes returned on any game that is a draw

also 2 value bets of.....

ht draw, ft czech @ 5.90 (£2.50)

czech to score 1st goal 28 mins or later @ 3.20 (£2.50)

£10.00 staked

themanwiththeknow June 15th, 2008 19:42

theres one winning bet in the bag
 
czechs to score 1st goal 28 mins or later

that bet returns £8.00 which pays for the £2.50 losing bet on ht draw ft c rep and gives us £3.00 profit from those 2 bets

hopefully portugal can get the win and c rep hold on

Tony2005 June 15th, 2008 20:34

well Portugal arnt doing too well............but at least we have one bet up..

Tony2005 June 15th, 2008 20:35

what was Cech doing ?????? 2-2 could go to pens

themanwiththeknow June 15th, 2008 20:36

never should have touched portugal
 
meaningless game, playing all their donkey players, should have been left alone

turkey/czechs game on!!!

Tony2005 June 15th, 2008 20:38

3-2 to the Turks.....................what a sickner

Tony2005 June 15th, 2008 20:40

now the turk goalie has been sent off.........and they have no more subs

themanwiththeknow June 15th, 2008 20:44

what a fantastic game
 
pretty sick my 3.00 shot on portugal/c rep to go thru is fecked though

2-0 up and get beat 3-2

all down to the donkey that is peter cech

themanwiththeknow June 16th, 2008 13:47

sorry guys
 
only online for the whole of 5 ins today, dont have tie to get peoples views on todays 2 games so you just have to trust e on todays bet

if it loses then its on my head

germany to beat austria by 2 goals or more @ 1.92 and germany -3 corners @ 1.95 (£8.00)

germany to beat austria by 2 goals or more @ 1.92 and -3 corners tie @ 7.50
(£2.00) double


what we are looking for tonight is germany to win by 2 or more goals and to have 3 or more corners than austria

returns will be £29.95 if germany have 4 or more corners and win by 2 or more

returns will be £28.80 if germany have exactly 3 more corners than austria and win by 2 or more

Tony2005 June 16th, 2008 14:01

Nice one, quite happy with those selections, i think the Germans will want to paste their near rivals...

themanwiththeknow June 17th, 2008 12:01

more garbage
 
germany are definatly the worst pre tourney favs i have ever seen, they are pretty poor

i would say they are average at best, definalty 4/5 teams better than germany in this comp, the 4/1 odds pre tourny are looking laughable right now

as soon as gomez missed an open goal from 2 yrds after 3 or 4 mins i knew the bet wouldnt win

what a great goal to win the game though (1st freekick scored in 20 euros games)

on to today, if you have any views on todays kickball then please leave them as i am struggling to find a single bet

Tony2005 June 17th, 2008 12:04

[BIi think Holland ht ft is a great bet today.....the Dutch will want to keep their winning run going at the Romanians cant defend that well so i see a few goals in this...[/B]

TheShark72 June 17th, 2008 12:05

Italy to beat France

Romania to get a draw with Holland reserves

Holland and Italy to progress thru to last 8

themanwiththeknow June 17th, 2008 12:10

tony thinks holland win, the shark thinks a draw so what about........


holland to win or draw and 3 goals or more in the game @ 3.20

worth a bet??

Tony2005 June 17th, 2008 12:12

yep Thats The Bet To Have..

Part-Timer June 17th, 2008 12:19

Im Themanwhoknowsnowt, I would have a little bet on Italy to win Euro 2008, @ 18/1 on Betfair. If they qualify, lay off your bet stake and have a free win bet. Any one can win once qualified.

Tony2005 June 17th, 2008 12:35

Yes i like that bet too PT....i think they will beat the French tonight and the Dutch will beat Romania.........18/1 will suddenly be 10/1 at best

TheShark72 June 17th, 2008 13:22

Evs on goal being scored after 27th minute Holland v Romania looks a nice double your stake bet....

Tony2005 June 17th, 2008 13:30

wow thats a great bet,,,,,,,,,,,,

themanwiththeknow June 17th, 2008 13:52

i want the french to qualify
 
got them and holland to qualify @ 4.50

also had a saver on holland and romania to qualfy at 12.00

if romania qualify then ill get small profit, bigger one if the french make it through though

i backed romania pre tourney @ 68.00 on betdaq, if they get through tonight should come down a fair bit and can lay off for free bet (not that romania will ever win the tourney)


so many different views for the bet of the day its hard to pick one

right heres the choices........

holland win or draw and 3 goals or more in match @ 3.20 (£5.00 single)

holl/rom 1st goal after 27mins @ 2.00 (£5.00 single)

or do both above selections at £2.50 singles

get ur votes in by 7.00pm and which ever has the most we,ll will have as our bet of the day

by doing to singles if only one wins we break even or small profit, if both win we,ll have decent return

themanwiththeknow June 17th, 2008 20:49

broke even
 
did both bets £2.50 singles

returns of £5.00 after the 1st goal 27 mins+ came in at evens

unfortunatly never got the 3 goals needed in the holland game

anybody any views on tomorrows 2 games?

spain/greece and sweden/russia

funds are running low with only £19.00 of the kitty left

although still have £43.00 if holland win the euros
