I did a stupid mistake by cashing out Ukraine to score 1 goal and as soon as I cashed out , after 3 minutes they scored  so imagine how I felt to see that..but it is what it is as I was lucky enough to put the cashout amount into Holland scoring 3 goals at 2-2 which gave me my money back.

Tomorrow I'm really looking forward for both to team to score games as all of them have this potential.

[ralle14]

There's so many teams scoring at least 3 goals it feels like we're about to hit that o4.5 team total prop sometime soon.  

Also small brag, got my second 4/4 win. How about you guys?

[buwaytress]

You might want to add Netherlands to your list !

I didnt get this special bets though, so Im keeping track for the number of goals scored instead . I have one for total of 120 goals scored throughout Euro 2021. Euro 2016 only had 108 goals scored throughout the entire event so this is not likely going to hit but oh well this one have moneyback offer in it so its all good.

I have another special bet for 21 goals or more scored in a group, its looking great for Group C right now with 9 goals so far after just 1 round

Indeed! In fact, I took almost every special except the last few days of Countdown, mainly as odds weren't so great anyway and my entire bankroll was tied up haha.

We also have 19 goals so far with 7 games, which works out to an average of 2.69 goals per game. ALSO very good for the Over 120 goals Special, which needs an average of 2.4 goals per game to hit. So we're making good progress haha. No thanks to England for that...

Probably a good idea to track progress of all these specials, I'm doing them at the back of my head but might get some motivation to do it later this week;)

Nice one man! I've been betting on favs, but predicting upsets, so no 3/4s for me even haha.

Happy with how tourney's going SO FAR although it's still early, the yellow card special is doing pretty well -- but Denmark-Finland has us sitting nervous at HT with 0-0 despite 12 shots on goal from the Danes haha. 4-3-free already out with that 5th minute yellow heh.

Had a Eriksen to score and Denmark to win, 45/10. Anyone took that one? Match suspended after he collapsed apparently. Not watching but hope he's okay...

I was watching the match and saw it when it happened and had one of those "WTF did I just see!?!" moments.
While it was unfolding before everybodies eyes they were all in horror at what was transpiring.
With all the EMT equipment coming on to the pitch you knew it was bad.
Just glad everything to do with that incident turned out for the best as he is in recovery right now and the cardiologist for the team said it was a cardiac arrest. I have only heard this happen one other time right on the pitch during a match in the professional UEFA/FIFA league for a Bolton Wanderers player, but he didn't just drop like that with his eyes wide open staring at where he was after receiving the ball like Eriksen had on his face while slumping down.
I hope to never see anything like that again during a soccer match as it is something that is completely unexpected to happen to top athletes in such condition like they required to be running from one end of the pitch to the other atleast 50 times during a 90+ minute match.

Anyways about your question about the denmark specials, it was said in the club talk chat by a moderator that this eriksen scoring promotion was voided and everybody's stake was returned to them. But since it's a player prop bet, those usually don't get voided but they decided under the unusual circumstances of what happened 2 minutes right before half time that that was the proper call.
Don't know about the promotion they had with three teams winning their first match with denmark being one of them and what they will do with those bets placed on that one. Since they suspended the match and was in the process of cancelling all bets because the match hadn't finished before half time. But then there was a late decision by those who run the Euros to have the match continue.

Just getting ready for the next one on tap with Poland going up against Slovakia.
Let' see if Lewandoski can do something incredible just like in the Scotland vs Czech Republic match where they scored nearly halfway down the pitch to put it up and over the goal keeper.
They were saying that had to be the best goal ever in Euros.

Can anyone guys explain to me the details of the mechanics of safe bets? I have several bets that are displayed as lost, but for these two bets I used the "insured" function (As far as I understand, this is a bet insurance that can be done once every 24 hours, and if one of the choices loses, the bet is returned as a free bet). What can be the matter that these bets are displayed as lost? ^{[in the sense that I did not see any free bets on these amounts in my personal account]}

If you wanted help you should have taken a screen shot of open ticket. Send it to me via PM if you don't want to make it public. That way I can give you proper answer instead of guessing.

Only one rule from the top of my head that could have been problematic for you is void bet. If you had one lost and one void with 5x multi you don't qualify. Better way of wording this promo would be that you have to have 4 correct outcomes on the ticket and max 1 wrong outcome.

5x multi - 3 correct, 1 lost, one void, you get nothing
6x multi - 4 correct, 1 lost, one void, you get free bet

Basically if you are playing Asian handicaps and get half won, half lost or void bets you have to make sure to still have 4 correct outcomes. That is one of the rules that is not clearly written and has been giving me problems in the past. My rule of the thumb, don't play insurance x5 multi with selections that can easily get voided. And then I still get rektd sometimes with tennis forfeits. Hope I helped.

Insured bets are always displayed as lost, you just get free bet at the same time whole ticket gets graded.

Thanks for the details .. there is no point in dumping the full screenshot, the only thing I forgot to mention is that in one variant the loss was the first in a row, and in the second variant it was the second, (exactly what you underlined). This made me make sure that only the last choice is insured (in case of 4 winning outcomes in a row), at least this is the most logical explanation since there were no canceled outcomes in these multi bets.

[buwaytress]

Awful finishing from both Spain and Sweden means we have our first Countdown special money-back casualty (no 0-0 in group stage game). It was 19/1 on that one. Also another Special is affected (Italy, Belgium, England, Spain and Portugal to Win at 12/1), if Portugal do win, we at least get money back =D

On the bright side, I know have more money to throw at regular matches;) *grumbles at and blames Seville pitch*

Does not matter if the loss was first game or second. If you have 4 correct selections and one loss you get your stake back as free bet. It has to be something regarding actual bets.

As i said I am thinking some Asian handicap which was only half won and therefore marked green but not good enough for purposes of this promo.

Portugal game looked like it was going to end in a boring draw knotted at 0-0 up until the 82' minute.
There was a defecting going in off a Hungary defender.
Ronaldo scored a penalty and then another goal just rolling it in.

Now that was a great finish by the last Euros champions!
Can't wait to see what the next match has in store for us fans and if France can match that performance.

I think this is really going to be the case of Euro defending champions versus World Cup defending champions. I'm not sure how the group stage works out because of the progression and pathways but it would actually be nice to see a France vs Portugal final.

Judging from the reviews of the match, both of them already did the best in this first round (plus Italy).

I would like to see both those teams make it far in their groups but I took two different specials:
Portugal to win the Euros @14.00x and France to win Euros with some other things like who will win Wimbledon for the men's and women's and COPA finals.
It was the big berta special they had right before the tournament started at 300.00x odds so II just had to take the chance in it coming true.
At those odds why not?

Same as me then haha. My first bet was actually for Netherlands, which I was thinking of backing anyway -- would rather lose 18/1 bet on them then betting Germany/Spain/France and wondering if all would lose.

But France/Brazil/Djoker/Barty for 300/1 was too good to pass. Judging on the form of 3 of those 4, I should be feeling pleased. But let's not invite for KO disaster to happen haha;)

There is a lot of us on that bet and I don't like that. Too much money in the mix and then something always goes wrong. Hopefully this time we will all cash in big bucks.

I had high hopes for that EURO promo Itally, Portugal, England, Belgium and Spain to win first matches and it was going so well and than Spain screwed us over. Good thing at least we got our stake back since all other choices managed to win.

So which was your first selection? the first selection for the outright bets will give 0.25 mbtc free bet everytime the respective team wins their game ( if you have atleast 1 mbtc stake ). I took France for my outright bets but lost my first 0.25 mbtc free bet because of Wales lol, decided to bet on draw for the halftime as I thought that its going to be pretty even between Turkey and Wales

It was only available for a short while, but yeah I think a lot of people took it. Definitely hoping we cash in big, but I actually only put in a freebet there, so not expecting anything and not losing anything. And yeah, so far so good for money backs. No losses yet on those, at this rate, goals scored and yellows, if we even hit ONE special I'll be very pleased.

Don't forget Bet Free 6-6 guys. New round starts tomorrow so get your picks in. I went for a LOT of goals =D

I took Spain so I have yet to enjoy a freebet, and if they continue to play like that I might not even get anything back;) But Portugal at 14x is very nice! I wonder what boosted odds for France were? I didn't even look. What's the 300x special on regular odds did anyone check?

Don't forget Bet Free 6-6 guys. New round starts tomorrow so get your picks in. I went for a LOT of goals =D

Thanks:) I guess nobody won the old one before this screwed by Spain no doubt:) I don't have access to this option though because of my location (I think).

I'm not sure about this as I don't remember the details ... but if my memory serves me, you get a free bet if any team you choose wins (even if you've picked multiple favorites). I mean, besides France, I also chose the Netherlands, and I got free bets twice, (although I may be wrong and the free bet was given to me for a different reason). Btw, does anyone want to argue that at least one team will be left without yellow cards during the group matches?

Your story kind of sounds like my friend who bought bitcoin at 29 and for a day the prices go down a little and he sold and then the next day, the prices suddenly started going up considerably and he lost around 2k USD because he panicked but it didn't faze him that much. It seems that betting and investing have some similarities.

Betting is alot like investing. It feels like there is a force at play at times. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBIIQnBSysc
For instance, I had a good bet going yesterday. All 4 selections out of the 5 were good. Some bets on different sports such as the euros, baseball, cs:go and basketball. So it was a well rounded ticket.
I lost by a single three pointer not being made.
