i also missed that one. dammit  what were the odds?

Not sure, but quite high. It was really good promo, too bad it finished before I got my hands to the wallet and started after I already played morning tickets for all the money on account. Cash out was not an option since I had DOTA games on tickets and Sportsbet does not allow cash outs when you include eSports. Maybe better, since one of the games was Spain to win and then I would have mixed feelings while cheering my Croatia

Finally, some Euro matches after not having something to watch for days.
Denmark and Italy are the favorites to win kntheir matches so to solidify those position in their group.
Think I saw a promo for Italy to keep their cleansheet&score in both halves today and denmark for both teams to score and they win theirs @5.00x
Usually these special promotions come up only for hours before match day, so you need to keep an eye open on their Special Offers tab on Clubtalk so to see them when they are available. But they close about an hour  right before the match begins, so you need to be quick as soon as you see them up.

Oh wow guys I missed all the specials yesterday but I took the first one I saw today: Denmark to win and BTTS 5.50 I mean, Wales can get a goal we all know that and they might even win but if Denmark score like they do, it's 2 or 3 goals for sure. Good value right?

But the 4x penalty is also poor odds, I doubt any of it goes to penalty looking at lineup!

@tomahawk it was 12.50, I also missed it grr

OOF! really good odds! and money back if one team doesn't make it
it's gonna win and i'm gonna be like

[icopress]

[...] and denmark for both teams to score and they win theirs @5.00x

To be honest, I found this rate not very attractive, as I found higher coefficients with almost the same final result, ^{[and the fact that such promotions cannot be combined into an express bet]}. But having made a bet on the correct score (1:2, 1:3), and combining these rates with other events, I got extremely high coefficients. If I lose, I will lose an insignificant amount, and if I win, I will win more than I would have won by betting on this promo. I mean, this promo implies a victory for Denmark with an advantage of a goal or two (a bigger advantage would not upset me either, since it guarantees us a victory in another major promo).

Um, thanks Wales, now we're headed for a bust on EURO Blackjack cause you lost your heads late on haha. Oh well =)

Only missed 1 special that I'd have taken (money back) but skipping almost everything that's either too low odds or just uninteresting. Usually for a special anything below 5/1 is not fun for me, unless it's massively over the normal odds, of course (like Italy 25/10 special on the opening day!).

Whatever it is I am skipping it and saving money for EURO promos. We get new one every 2 hours. Currently live At Least 3 Of The Round Of 16 Matches To Go To Extra-Time @4. Skipping this one on purpose, I am thinking odds around 10 would be something that would interest me, 4 is way too low. This is first "bad" EURO promo I saw so hopefully we will get some more good ones later on.

I skipped this one too, I also skipped the penalties one. I don't think any penalties, and I think at least one or two ET but yeah, odds too low to back for me as well.

Place it as it looks like a cracker of a match, as you've said.And it seems you know your football from that Chelsea prediction that managed to hit a month or so ago.
So your good on your selections from where I see it!

Yeah..bet already placed let see how it goes I'm 100% sure Croatia will win Spain 2:1 but my only worries now is Ukraine, can they beat Sweden? I'm not too confident but Yes they will. Oh yea this is gambling anyways. 

[Trofo]

If my count is correct, we have now come to nice number of 101 goals in this EURO. Looking good for our over 120 goals promo bet.

Never thought that "over 1.5 goals in regular time" promo will be lost on Italy - Austria game, ah well, did not take it for big amount anyway.

[arallmuus]

Um, thanks Wales, now we're headed for a bust on EURO Blackjack cause you lost your heads late on haha. Oh well =)

Its actually 7 goals in totals after Italy vs Austria. Well with 6 matches to go and 14 goals, if all the other matches ended with 2 or less goals then it would be a push. Yeah with 7 goals, you guys are close to bust but it also means you guys could hit the BJ. Its been a while since the special BJ bets hits so perhaps this could be it ! ( I didnt take this bet though )

If my count is correct, we have now come to nice number of 101 goals in this EURO. Looking good for our over 120 goals promo bet.

Its looking great and we still have 13 matches to go. We will probably get 6-10 goals for the rest of the top 16 matches. At this rate we might even hit it before the Final.

I wouldn't worry too much about that ... a lot of goals is good, as most of us will win more than we lose in this BJ game, (not to mention the fact that with each game the coefficient ^{bj 3.5} decreases). In addition, being guided by the last game, you can always insure your bet, if two goals are missing, you make a parallel bet on "Total over 2.5". Thus, if there are less than two goals - there will be a push, 2 goals - this is blackjack, 3 goals - will return your money spent on a BJ bet.

As icopress points out, plenty of hedging opportunities on all of these specials, so yeah, I'm really looking forward to today, it'll give us a pretty good picture of how far we are away from the 120-goal and the Blackjack. I've been adding predictions with high scoring counts and while haven't got them right so far, goal count has been accurate!

In fact, if we get another high-scoring set today, might even be good to scout on the hedging on final game early!

Sportsbet is currently offering a nice boost on Netherlands to win & both team to score (from 3.35 to 4.00).

https://sportsbet.io/sharebetslip/64f03a71-5d55-4ccf-a817-1e3d0f2dbb48

Earlier there's another special but it's for Belgium and Portugal. (Lukkaku and Ronaldo to score @7.00)

Would need them both to score to keep the special offered earlier on yesterday alive with Depay and Bezema also to score in their matches during the round of 16.
So we will see.

Took Czech to beat netherlands today so it is a scandanvian upset if we both pick these teams to win against these euro powerhouses for the win.
Good luck to us!

[buwaytress]

I took a last minute hedge on Czech outright with a boost so it is a 7/1 win for me, but that only pays me back for some parlays I took involving Netherlands today. Scorer special is out as well as Depay didn't score.

What a crazy day of football so far. The red card still bemuses me but if the ref took a good look with VAR, then I trust he got the right call (didn't get a good view myself).

High-scoring games so far, huh guys? Relatively, anyway.

As I said, the blackjack goal ratio is gradually decreasing.   ^{[which actually suits us for blackjack and promo 120 goals.]}

Took Czech to beat [...]

Given the past experience of playing with the Netherlands, there is a fairly high probability that the Czechs will beat Denmark as well ... Czechs successfully beat Denmark in the quarterfinals in 2004, (Denmark remembers this so I think it will be a very aggressive derby).

Really don't know what to think of that red card. It seems a bit harsh to me to get red card for that situation but if you look at it as an intentional handball from last man in defense than referee did not have any choice. But that situation was not so straight forward, De Ligt was falling and I am sure some referees would give foul in attack for that and stop the play before hand ball. Malen should have score in the previus attack and we would not be talking about this situation

I am just sad that such important game got turned on that one "mistake" but not taking anything away from Czech players. They were superb whole match even when it was 11 on 11 game.

Omeh this was huge I never saw this coming I'm so certain on my picks tomorrow, this is knockout stage games so I'm expecting a lot of upset, underdogs don't get much attention on papers so they get theirs on the pitch. My Croatia is hitting tomorrow then after which I'd drop my predictions from the Semi to the finals and then the winner.

[buwaytress]

And now it's 104 goals after the Czech upset plus that slimmest of Belgian wins.

It's finely balanced, and  I know I've asked before and confirmed myself: there's no 3rd place game so we do indeed have 11 more games now to get 17 goals. Still confident because of ET!

Yeah, it was an entertaining game with a tight contest between the two, and I do still feel without VAR, we would have seen Austria progress yesterday, and then today this red card I didn't even realise was coming until the VAR check came on. It's my chosen underdog (NL) out now so I should feel aggrieved but as you said, if the earlier play just went in, this would have been a different game. Football, huh?

[Igebotz]

Not a very good game from the red devils of Belgium, the worse I've seen them play for a long time, they lost a lot possessions, looking lost tactically and were poor in every counter attack, Portugal controlled the game very well and were the best team tonight but this is football, surprises happens when less expected. This is Ronadol last Euros, age is against him. I'm happy they lost anyways.

I'm hoping to watch some good games tomorrow

[rdbase]

Portugal losing took one of my specials out at 14x but it happens so not too concerned about it.
Still have France to do it with that massive 300x odds bet so there is that.

I can see Croatia causing hassles to a struggling Spain squad, so let us see Igehhh mate!
