How's your Euro 2008 bets getting on?

Tales of big wins, gutted near misses etc. etc. here.

I had money on 0-0, 1-1 and 2-0 Czech Rep earlier.....bloody typical ! Also meant a three way accumulator relying on 3 draws went tits up at 1 st hurdle too.

Currently wishing for 3-1 Portugal win.

Gotta go, they're coming out for 2nd half now.

ive put 5 bets on top scorers.

koller didnt score

tuncay sanli didnt score.

And Koller got subbed and his replacement scored :annoyed:

I've a quid on him on a double ( Czech to win and top scorer ) @175/1. Think this was the most outrageous out of all the little ones I put on today. Was very disappointed with Czechs today.

The missus and I have our traditional result prediction competiton that is well under way. 3 points for a correct score 1 for the right result....

her first two guesses:

1-0 Czech Rep
2-0 Portugal

Unbelievable... I'm being hammered already. Its odd that my fairly considerable knowledge of football and her passing interest have resulted in her beating me for the last three tournaments.

I had a double on Portugal win and Czech-Switzerland draw.

If it hadn't been for Volanthalen's sitter I'd have been quids in! :(

Oh yes, I remember it well. So busy appealing for pen that when it dropped for him he wasn't fully composed and cracked it against the bar ! :nono:

A draw there would of had me ahead on the day and still on for a half decent accumulator.

Oh dear, there goes another couple of quid :rolleyes:

Had Croatia to win either 2-0 or 3-0. Bloody typical again.

Oh well, can salvage things if Poland pull off the surprise I'm expecting tonight.

Had a fiver on a Czech/Portugal/Croatia treble... paid out just under £50.

Now why didn't I think of that ? :shootself

I had money on all of them to win in one form or another but didn't do what you did.

I'm the mug that only really bets on Euro's and World Cup, mainly to add even more excitement to the great occassions. What's that about a fool and his money......? :blush:

Well done btw :cheers:

I was down after the first days play, but now i'm up by a massive £1.56.

I'm two thirds of the way there on a Croatia / Germany / France win mind so be looking forward to getting home from work tomorrow for that one. Was worried when Austria had that header from a free kick in stoppage time tho!

I've decided i'm not going to back goalscores anymore tho after Klose decided to square it tonight and would have been first goalscorer.

I stuck £2.50 e/w on Podolski top scorer at 25/1.

Looking like a shrewd move! Didn't think much of Croatia/Austria either so hopefully his brace was the first of many!

I had £5 on Podolski @ 6/1for the Golden Boot
£3 on Villa @ 14/1 for the Golden Boot
£2 on Poland to win tournament @ 66/1
£5 on Spain to win tournament at 6/1

When did you get Poland at 66/1 ?

I could only find them at 50/1 this week.

Bloody typical again !

Hedging my bets I went for Gomes as my German top scorer for tournament. ( Also had Smolarek of course ;) )
