[empire]

Top scorer - Karim Benzema, £1 @33/1
or torres not sure on odds,germany will win,

 

[Zesh Rehman]

Croatia to win and Romania to make it out of their group

 

[RM-Taylor]

£5 on Holland to win at 12/1

 

[TSB]

Switzerland to win 25/1 (seems ridiculously low!)
Austria to win 100/1
Czech Republic to win 16/1

 

[TSB]

What are the CZECHS like at the moment? They're probably the biggest team I know the smallest amount about. I know they used to be bloody good a few years back, but have the current lot got a chance of WINNING it? If so, 16/1 seems good odds.

Topped their qualifying group, ahead of the dutch, so i'd say a decent shout at 16/1. Jan Koller's a pretty useful offensive weapon.

 

[Simster]

Switzerland to win 25/1 (seems ridiculously low!)
Austria to win 100/1
Czech Republic to win 16/1

Austria are absolutely shit and have no chance whatsoever. I agree with your assessment of Switzerland however - Greece and Denmark have shown you can win tournaments simply by being organised, and the Swiss have home advantage.

Thanks. Austria is just a £2 stab, due to how gutted i'd feel if it happened.
Considering the form Switzerland have shown in the last 2 years, i can't understand why they would have started/been backed to 25/1! Perhaps it is all just home advantage? Look what happened to England in 1996, after all.

Fingers crossed.

Are you going to have a cheeky punt?

 

[Simster]

Both of Wozza's bets look quite tidy. An each way punt on Croatia might be worth while if the odds aren't too stinghy.

 

[Simster]

Hmm. I think I'd want 14 or 16/1 to be tempted.

 

[surrey jim]

what are the odds on Turkey win CKR top scorer

 

[Albion Edd]

I've gone for Spain Win/Torres top scorer at 22/1
Also stuck a quid on Czech Republic Win/Koller top scorer at 250/1

Both of Wozza's bets look quite tidy. .

Except he only got 20/1 on each bet. 22/1 and 25/1 respectively, in Corals.

 

[elwheelio]

I, like everyone else it seems, have got £5 on Karim Benzema at 33/1 for topscorer and £5 on Germany to win it outright. Might have the odd flutter during the tournament too

 

[hans kraay fan club]

I actually think that Germany are very likely to win it, but really not tempted by the 7/2 on offer.

My banker is Germany, Italy, Portugal and Spain to qualify from their groups. Its only 5/2 but should pay for all the other bets.

If I was LOADED I'd be tempted to lump THOUSANDS on this bet rather than a fiver. The only way it can realistically lose, is if Holland and France dump Italy.
