The bookies were right
Manchester United took the UEFA Champions league trophy from Chelsea after a 1-1 draw and a penalty shootout.
And that’s exactly what the oddsmakers thought would happen….
A 1-1 draw was the shortest priced scoreline result and Man U was tipped to win. And that’s exactly what we bet on, and what we recommended you should have bet on too.
Did you get a win? If not I hope you at least enjoyed the close game, because it was pretty much the last of the club football this season.
But Euro 2008 kicks of in 14 days, and there’ll plenty of good football bets to be had throughout the tournament.
Even if England didn’t make it! I’m still amazed they couldn’t crack the top 16 teams in Europe…
Centrebet has Germany as the 4.60 favorite, followed by Spain at 7.50 and Portugal at 8.00. They’re also offering a free $50 bet to new accounts.
With no England, our usual bet isn’t possible. We usually bet on whoever England is playing against and usually make a good profit. (sorry England, but you always choke)
With Guus Hiddink coaching Russia, they could be a diamond in the rough at 26.00. They beat lowly Kazakhstan 6-0 in a warm up game, which probably doesn’t mean much, but Guus always has his teams ready to play.
So we’ll be having a sneaky little bet on the Russkies. Not much, because we’re probably throwing our money away, but at 26.00 it’s worth a stab just for fun.
