tonights game if the turks loose there will be hell to pay for them manager getting a torrid time in the turkish media .
swiss are a solid side but lack the killer edge up front .. id go for a turk win 1.0 but wouldnt put cash on it ..

IrishMike

Backed under 2.5 in the Swiss game and like half the world had Portugal to win.
€200 return if the swiss game is a low scoring borefest which i think it will be

redfan

id be up about 1500-2000 now at this stage but the days of getting 4/5 5/6 or even 8/15 is going to be rare......lot of bookies are down on euro 08 interesting to see the odds in next round ......for the favorites at least.

You need a better paying job

The bookies will be getting fed up with all the obvious ones winning all the time. Their odds are going to cramp up surely probably starting with Germany and maybe Poland as well tomorrow. I hope they do, could create value at the other end of things.

Death or Glory

Had 200 on Portugal to win 370

soooooooo

Looked at the Swiss/Turkish game and read about the history (there being alot of needel, riots, loadsa bookings and sendings off)

Ended up putting 100 quid on first booking up to and including the 29th minute

What happens?

First booking in the 30th minute

F*cking gutted

Shurwhynot

Have put 40 on a germany/poland double at round 3/1 with PP and put a tenner on germany/draw to cover my bet. cant see austria winning any game

jimbling

I've been doing pretty well so far in the games... and am up about €500.
I'm considering putting the lot on the German game today.

From watching the other games I feel that Germany will trounce the croats.

Croatia were just sooo bad against Austria.... and wont be able to handle the movement of germany.


here's my plan:
50 on Germany (-2) @ 6/1 = 350
150 on Germany (-1) @ 11/5 = 480
300 on Germany @ 3/4 = 525

If Germany win by one goal I'm in profit for €25
If Germany win by two goals I'm in profit for €655
If Germany win by three goals I'm in profit for €955

If Germany do NOT win I'm down 500 and back to what i had at the start of the tournament.

Is there any reason I dont know about to not put my faith in the Germans?

1. Jens Lehmann!!!
2. A very talented Croatia team.
3. Over reliance on Podolski/Ballack to make things happen.

My bet is on a draw or I might back Croatia (+1 handicap bet).

IrishMike

Look into Asian Handicap betting jimbling.
Odds should offer you better returns

very talented croatia team? did you watch the first game, or do you just think that that was a blip? Without they're main striker they dont seem up to much.

Yes, Jens Lehmann is dodgy all right... but I saw nothing in the Croatian to make me worry too much. They couldn't break down austria... and were very very lucky to win the game.

Podolksi and Ballack are the main playmakers yes, but overall they have very solid team. Frings is excellent. Though Fritz was very good, but some reason he was taken off... to the detriment of the team. Klose is a goalscorer... lahm up the right is very good. etc etc.

IrishMike.
Ya, I know about the asian handicaps all right. I know I can get better odds. I have betfair and betdaq accounts, but no money in them.
I'm not a big gambler anymore, just had some money left over in a paddy power poker account (which I no longer use)
so transferred it over at the start of the tournament and put it on a double the first day... been working up since. I'll stick it out with pp for now...
cheers for the info and advice all the same.

Croatia are toothless. For all their good midfielders they have very little up front and from the looks of things Germany have a very threatening attack. -1 Germany might be worth a look depending on the odds

Death or Glory

What are Germany - 1 with Paddy Power?

11-5 (or read my post above, all those numbers are from pp)

The only reason i can think of is that taking the results of one game each can be dangerous as it may not be completely accurate as to how both teams will perform overall, France in the last World Cup being an example.

But otherwise i wouldn't put anyone off backing the Germans if they think the price is worth taking.

Death or Glory

Nice one, Im gonna have a bit of that

Cheers,
ya, i am actually having a bit of a rethink.

Good news for all backing the Germans. I am the worst football punter there is. I have backed Croatia at 11/2 as it looked to big too miss. I couldn't possibly think that Germany are value with Lehmann in goal. And one of the only 90 minutes of football i watched all year was Croatia playing England off the pitch in Wembley.

Fishyfreak

I 100% agree that Croatia were bad in the first game and the are missing Eduardo up front but I wouldn't write them off against the Germans just yet. They are a very solid team.

I didn't touch the handicap bet, I did Ballack 1st Scorer instead. 7/1 isn't bad!! (I'm too easily swayed when I walk into the Bookies!!!!!)

Should be a good game.

Okay, decided to alter it slightly.... less money and slightly different proportions, but all in all... still a big bet.

Come on the Germans!!!

Fishyfreak

Ouch!! 1-0 to Croatia.

Culchie

Come on ya beauties.

Going to Croatia tomorrow for a week as well. The Karlovac will be flowing if they can see this through.

jimbling

oh!!! how wrong I was.
It's a completely different croatian team.... unbelievable.

Thanks for putting me off putting the lot on them anyway

Fishyfreak

Ah well at least there was some damage limitation. That's football bets for ya.

Lump the rest of your money on the Italians to beat Romania tomorrow!!!
