    The Euro 2020 kicks off on 11th June 2021.
    Most on line bookies are doing a few “free bet specials”. I’ve had a little go at 3 of them.

    SKYBET. Bet £10 on the Top Scorer, get a £3 free bet every time he scores.

    HILLS. Bet £10 on the tournament winner, get a £5 free bet every time they win a group match.

    PADDY POWER. Bet £10 on the Top Scorer, get £1 free bet every time he has a shot on target.

    Good luck with yours, lets hope for a great spectacle of football :emoticon-0148-yes::emoticon-0167-beer:

    I hate backing favourites but I just can't see past France for this. They have easily the strongest squad in this tournament and world class players to boot.

    I always take into account the group fixtures when I select the top goalscorer. I like the look of Belgium's group so Lukaku for me. Immobile is a player I've always liked and Italy have a fairly easy group where they could bag a few. He'd be my outside bet.

    Firstly I put a Free £10 bet on Holland to make the final about 2 years ago at 20/1, so that's still on, and i've done a few of the PadPow specials which something I don't normally do but thought blow it, I'll have a go for a change...…

    Holland to make the final @ 20/1
    1 or more goal in every one of the group matches @ 14/1
    1 or more goal & 1 or more card in each and every game @ 66/1 but boosted it up to 75/1
    Top goal scorer
    Mbappe @ 8/1
    Diego Jota @ 25/1

    Accy on each group winner, Italy, Belgium, Holland, England, Spain & France @ 16/1

    I just hope for a good tournament and hope one or two of em come in... Can't be having England as 2nd fav's but stranger things have happended. JUST NOT WITH US...!!!!<laugh> <laugh> <laugh>

    <ok> <cheers>

    All over Belgium at 13-2 for the win.

    Portugal have a ridiculously strong first 11 though. But they do need to come through the "group of death".

    England will flatter to decieve as per usual and are actually taking 2 potentially injured players with them. You couldnt make it up!!Plus, they are 5-1 second favourites which morally wrong.

    I like Ciro Immobile at 25-1 for top goalscorer.

    Germany are very poor at the moment and I can't see them getting out of the group - France and Portugal to qualify. They have stuck with Löw for too long, you will see a much better Germany over the next couple of years under Hansi Flick.

    Germany always seem to find a way to negotiate tournaments .

    I think Torres at 11-1 to be the best young player at the tournament is a decent bet..City knew what they were doing when bought this lad. He is going to be a elite level player.

    I don't think De Bruyne will make the tournament and even if he does he'll not be 100%. I'm not confident of Belgium having the class to win a tournament without him tbh.

    They will probably rest him for the group stage and introduce him when things start hotting up.

    By all accounts he won't need surgery which is good news. So he will probably play with one of those silly face masks.And by watching him play a lot he seems to have a very strong constitution, which is a plus.

    Yeah I don't fancy the Dutch, at all. Especially without Van Dijk. Scotland are much improved under Steve Clarke tbf.

    I think they're making a decision about whether he can play in the tournament or not in the next couple days.

    I wouldn't take last nights result too seriously. Game like that is Scotlands Cup final. Training session for the Dutch. They'll be happy with a run out

    I like ITALY. Nice cushy looking group and haven’t lost in ages. IMMOBILE and BERARDI for Golden Boot contenders.
