Euros (not quite a) sweepstake

makes sense to work out our winnings (or losses) as a percentage?

If I start with £5 and have £10 at the end of the tournament I haven't done as well as someone who started off with 50p and ended up with £10 for example.
 
I'm about to bet £10 on Spain to win the tournament with Skybet.

Their offer is if you bet £10 on a team to win the tourney you get a £3 free bet every time that team wins, hoping Spain win three or four and I can play with the free bets ;)

In the world cup I got Argentina and they finished runners-up. I'm feeling the same about Spain tbh, think I may have a £3 bet on them finishing runners-up.
 
Right then, got my bet on. A trixie (whatever that is?) of
Italy vs Belgium draw
Italy vs Sweden, Italy win
Italy vs Eire, Italy win
£4.0 bet
Also put a bet for mousa to score in the Italy Belgium game.
Just need to upload pics!!
Challenging day for me this!!!!

so that's 7 £1 bets,

singles
ROI v Sweden - draw : 2/1
Sweden v Belgium - draw : 5/2
Sweden v Italy - draw : 11/5

doubles
draws v Belgium & ROI : 9.5/1
draws v Belgium & Italy : 10.2/1
draws v ROI & Italy : 8.6/1

treble
draw all three : 32.6/1
 
Will put this in the betting thread in Random too - but I've just been told about this little gem of an offer:

Coral sign up offer (new customers only):

England to win v Russia 50/1

Live from Friday 8am (capped to first 3,000 bettors) - the link won't work before then

Will be through this link
 
So that i'm sure, the aim of this game is to achieve the highest winnings for the least outlay (common sense really I know). So spreading your funds across multiple bets with odds of around EVS, 6/4 or 21/10 for example, even if all of them came in, is pointless in comparison to say one bet at 10/1 (a first goalscorer shout for example).

Just want to know before I go lumping here, there and everywhere.
 
Group A winner - France http://s33.postimg.org/4uqs3n9a7/group.jpg
France total group points - 9 http://s33.postimg.org/3kg3m498f/points.jpg
France group goals - over 5.5 http://s33.postimg.org/ch9pseabj/goals.jpg
Fra v Albania - win http://s33.postimg.org/4shxdsg5b/alb.jpg
Fra v Switzerland - win http://s33.postimg.org/f5mliu37j/swi.jpg
Frav Romania - win http://s33.postimg.org/w1agpy6rj/rom.jpg

I couldn't find any "crazy" bet (I couldn't choose Hugo as the first Goalscorer etc.). Even that donkey Giroud has 4th Lowest odds for Euro 2016 Top Goalscorer.

Can someone change my profile picture, if I give you a link? I know this is almost open to abuse but I can't use my laptop & I'm away this weekend, so need to catch up with this!
 
I'll do screen grabs should any of these come in (they won't), but dunno how to do it on a Chromebook and CBA to look it up. So...

England to win the lot £2 @ 8/1 (ret. £18)
Harry to be top scorer £2 @ 16/1 (ret. £34)
England to get 7 points in the group £2 @ 13/5 (ret. £7.20)
England to beat Russia and draw with Wales £2 @ 10/11 & 13/5 (ret. £13.74)
England and Wales to qualify from group £2 @ 5/1 (ret. £12)

Total I'll never get back, £10.
 
Couldn't really find any silly bets for Germany, none that I would waste any money on at least.

Two I have made though:

Muller top scorer and Germany as champions 100NOK @ 15 - returns 1500NOK



Germany vs Ukraine - Germany win and over 3.5 goals - 50NOK @ 4.4 - returns 220NOK


 
As I mentioned, I can't place bets here in the U.S., but will tell you what I would have placed. So $1 for Slovakia-Wales: 3-3 at 180/1 (Betfair).

I don't know how to upload the image from my mobile, but will do so as soon as I get to my laptop.
