![]() I'm rather amazed to find that there's no thread for the Euro 2024 tournament starting tonight with Germany v Scotland.
I've analysed the betting markets on Betfair and compared their implied probabilities with the pure data-driven Opta probabilities for who will win. Some differences are quite interesting, as they may hint at where there's value to be found for those wanting a flutter. The most out-of-whack results are the real minnows, as any decent statistician would predict. But Scotland are ranked 15th of the 24 partaking countries yet gamblers have been strangely 64.29% more pessimistic about their chances. Gambling on Scotland winning the tournament would probably be a bit dumb, but popping some dosh on them getting to the knockout stage or even the QFs is probably worth a punt. At the other end, Portugal and Germany have been backed by punters more than Opta thinks is prudent. So, laying a bet on them NOT winning the tournament would be best value (at the time of writing). Favourites England & France seem to be priced about right if we trust Opta, but elsewhere there seems to be value in backing Poland, Turkey, Denmark & Netherlands to succeed, or Croatia & Spain to NOT succeed. . |

![]() The betting on Portugal, Spain and Croatia are probably due to how good they were two, four and six years ago as opposed to now. Germany haven't been good for a while and playing at home may get them out of their group but I doubt they'll accomplish much beyond that. It wasn't German players that got Munich and Dortmund deep in the Champions League.
I'm cheering for England's success and France's failure as I loathe Mbappe. |

![]() Idk if Scottland was bad or Germany is really good. It's their home turf after all.
For this tournament I'm rooting for whatever team England plays against. |

![]() There are few things in sport more enjoyable than watching Cristiano Ronaldo get humiliated. Never cheered for Georgia before but it might become a habit.

![]() Now that it's over, I have to admit that the right team won. Too bad it wasn't England.
