    Here's my bets

    Spain @ 8 - 11
    Italy @ 7 - 4
    Germany @ 8 - 13
    Portugal @ 5 - 4

    Accumulator €20

    Torres to finish top scorer & Portugal to win Euro 2008 @ 66/1 - €10

    Outright straight forcast - 1. Portugal and 2.Italy @ 33/1 - €10

    I'm toying as to what to spend my final tenner on. Any suggestions?

    thinking of lumping on the following,

    Gremany to qualify 1/8
    Spain to qualify 1/5
    Italy to qualify 1/2
    Austria to finish bottom 8/11

    200e returns 700 i think!!

    looks like easy money to me :D hope im rite:confused:

    put your last tenner on michael ballack €5 e/w at 40/1 for top scorer. the germans are likely to go a long way in this and he is more than capable from a dead ball or from open play!! if hes anywhere in the top 4 you will still cover all of your other dodgy bets:D good luck.

    I did this bet 4 years ago for Euro 2004 and it worked out nicely; select one team from each of the 4 groups to qualify for knockout stage and have a quadruple.

    Obviously nothing guaranteed here, especially in Group C, but I was looking at something similar this summer;

    Portugal 4/11, Germany 1/8, Italy 1/2 and Spain 1/5 to qualify from their group. Works out at just over 3 to 1 I think....

    Odds on paddy power are as follows:

    To Qualify From Group
    Portugal 4 - 11
    Czech Republic 7 - 10
    Switzerland evens
    Turkey 2 - 1



    To Qualify From Group
    Germany 1 - 8
    Croatia 8 - 15
    Poland 9 - 5
    Austria 3 - 1


    To Qualify From Group
    Italy 1 - 2
    France 8 - 15
    Holland 4 - 5
    Romania 11 - 4


    To Qualify From Group
    Spain 1 - 5
    Greece 5 - 4
    Sweden 5 - 4
    Russia 11 - 8


    They only accept singles on the "to qualify from group?" bets.
    PP i mean,not sure about other bookies.

    Appreciate the heads up on Croatias price 10/11 - even if it was a nailbiter in the end... A profit is a profit... Roll on Spain

    I have Germany 1/10,
    Croatia 8/15,
    Italy 2/5,
    France 1/2,
    Spain 1/4,
    Russia 6/5.

    €5 return €48.

    I was too late to add Portugal and Czeck Republic.

    Done something like this with the world cup, which is a lot easier than the euros I must admit and won €450 on €30. Picked 12 of the 16 teams to qualify. But there was only 2 or 3 max teams I wasnt confident of. In this realistically theres 3 or 4 teams touch and go!!

    I got France to qualify from their group at 2-1 yesterday,which I thought we're great odds..we'll have to see what happens today.

    That can't be right. They were about 1/2 to qualify and 2/1 to win the group.
