Euro 2024 Start

mypathtofire in Football on Hive ⚽️ • 3 months ago (edited)

The time has come round again for the Euros and it is looking to be an exciting tournament being hosted this time in Germany. I was previously in Germany for the World Cup in 2006 which was a great atmosphere and I am sure although not as big, the EM 2024 will also be pretty big.

I did apply for tickets for a few games in Frankfurt, but didn't win any of the so called lotteries which is a shame. Instead I will have to make do with watching the games on TV, which is also ok.

Usually I like to have a flutter during the big tournaments like this and once I picked Greece to win back in the day, since then my track record has been pretty bad. England and France seem to be the odds on favorites at the moment according to the bookies. I think if I was a betting man, I would be more inclined to take the odds further down the table with Spain, Italy or Netherlands being my 3 possible picks to win overall. I am not usually great with tipping, so this isn't financial advice!

I have given my opening match predictions to @blanchy on his post and have gone for mostly the favorites except maybe we could get an upset with Hungary against Switzerland (possibly a draw as usual from those guys) and maybe Poland against the Netherlands.

The big opening game should be a cracker because the home team who should be on good form will take on a lively Scotland who will hopefully make it a fun game to watch.

If I was going to bet, I would possibly go for betting the outsiders in the tournament, especially those with oversized odds as there could be a good chance of a few upsets and the favorites are likely to be overbet. If I was going to go for a draw strategy, I quite like any with odds over 3/1 if you can get it on.

However, my really fun strategy and the one I would go for would be to bet on all matches with Correct Score 3-3. The odds of them happening are quite low, but if you get one that hits, it could give a nice pay day and they are fun to put on. Germany/Scotland is 140/1, maybe higher on the exchanges. @Blanchy knows this strategy is a winner! haha

My plan over the next few weeks is to enjoy some great football, have a few beers and good food while the tournament is on. Good luck to all those taking part in the Hive competition and looking forward to seeing how it all plays out. Who do you fancy to win?

Thanks for reading.

I just watched the highlight on YouTube after reading your post, I was not aware that the Euro has started. And Germany won with a big score against Scotland.
I guess not many are winning the bet. : )

It was a good start by Germany and Spain seem to be looking strong against Croatia too. Hopefully we get a good tournament. 😀

I don't know if I'm going to watch anything seriously. But I'll be cheering for us. After 22 years, they have qualified for the Euro again. ⚽

Yeah, I think they have a good chance to get some good results. I will watch those games for sure.

Should be a good one this. Germany always host great tournaments. They were really good last night as well. Nagelsmann fielded a player older than him (Neuer) . It's a first for the Euros. I hear there's debate in Germany over the keeper option? It's funny because he was at odds with Neuer at Munich when Nagelsmann got rid of his goalkeeping coach.

It should be pretty ace, lots of good footy. I dont think a German lineup without Neuer would have felt right! There were plenty of fireworks going off after the game last night.
