Euro 2008 betting commences

14th February, 2008

We’re now in the run up to the Euro 2008 championships. Bets are already being cast at shops over the country with Germany as favourites to lift the cup.

Most bookies are giving Germany, who have won the Euro’s three times already, odds of 4 to 1 to win the tournament although other nations are close behind.

Spain and Italy, who are hoping for the double after winning their fourth World cup title, have odds of roughly 7 to 1.

For those looking for higher stakes, Croatia, who are set to appear in only their third European Championship finals since 1960, are on roughly 12 to 1, although their third place finish at World Cup 98 remains their best performance so far.
