Hi ken who is your tip to win the Euros and be top scorer be very interested whom you select.
Thank you

[Ken4155]

Also just used one of my £3 free bets generated by Lukaku's 2 goals;

£3 free bet Depay to score, Zinchenko to be carded @ 12/1

[Ken4155]

Everything thing but the goal on the first bet. Both wrong with the second.

Ahead of today's matches, i've taken advantage of Sky's offer of 11/2 on Scotland, Poland and Spain all winning their games, today. Used the second of my £3 free bets.

[davebro]

It'll probably be fixed!

[William51]

England to win it and Harry Kane the top scorer. Probably.

[Ken4155]

First match today is the Scotland v Czech encounter, one which, with home advantage, the Scots can win. The fiery John McGinn will certainly take the game to the Czechs and i fancy him to have a few pops at goal.

£5 John McGinn to have at least 2 shots on target @ 6/1 for a possible £35.

[Ken4155]

Unfortunately for Scotland, but more importantly for me, McGinn did not have his shooting boots on today and the only two or three times he did attempt a shot at goal, they were blocked by defenders and didn't trouble the 'keeper.
I'm much more confident that Robert Lewandowski will have 2 or 3 on target in the next match of the day, Poland v Slovakia. Hoping for some strong refereeing in this match, too.

Lewandowski to have over 2 shots on target and over 3 cards awarded.
£5 @ 7/1 for a poss return of £40.

[Ken4155]

Well, old Bob hardly got a kick in that match :-(

Spain host Sweden in today's final match and are hot favourites to win. Their last defeat on home soil came against England (3-2) back in 2018 and they really ought to take the 3 points on offer here. Sweden will not make life easy for them, however, and have scored at least once in their last 7 games.

Spain to win, both teams to score and over 7 corners. £5 @ 7/1 = poss return of £40.

[Ken4155]

Hungary have dome well to qualify but i really can't see them posing too much of a threat to Portugal in today's first match. Some will point to the fact that they are unbeaten in their last 11 games, but the strongest side they faced in that run was Poland in a WCQ, a game which ended 3-3.

Portugal to win, both Ronaldo and Fernandez each to have over 1 shot on target. £5 @ 5/1 for a poss return of £30.

[Ken4155]

Ronaldo pops the penalty in, giving him his 2nd shot on target. About 4 mins left plus stoppage time (turned out to be 5 mins) and i'm thinking, "Right, Fernandez, your turn." Never got the chance, did he. Bleedin' manager subbed him before another ball was kicked. Not easy being a gambler, you know :-/.
Tonight's game is the much anticipated Germany v France game and, solely because the match is being played in Germany, i'm siding with the host nation.

£5 Germany 2-1 @ 10/1 = poss £55

[Ken4155]

Finland v Russia open today's proceedings and i fancy Russia to come out on top - but not without a struggle;

£5 Artem Dyzuba to score a headed goal @ 6/1 = poss £35
£5 (£2 of which is FB) BTTS, 8+ corners, 2+ cards @ 8/1 = poss £43

[Ken4155]

What a poor game that was. Both sets of players looked as if they were out on their feet by half time?
Hoping for a tad more excitement in the next in which i believe Turkey will prove just too much for Wales.

£5 free bet; BTTS & Turkey @ 5/1 for a poss £25

[Spicerack]

You were stuffed there, ken, boyo.

[Ken4155]

Got the excitement, i suppose, but Turkey were a let down. Wales always looked reasonably comfortable. Despite that howler of a miss from Bale :-(
Italy can solidify their place at the top of their Group table by beating the Swiss tonight.
£5 win; Italy 2-0 @ 13/2 for a poss £37.50

[Togo]

Just managed to get "She who must be obeyed" off the ceiling. Joe Allen worked his nuts off.

[Ken4155]

Wales fully deserved their win, Togo. I expected a bit more aggression from Yilmaz and co, but Wales outfought them in almost every department. If my Italy prediction bombs, i'll be 3 days blank on the spin :-((

[ichkeria]

So far none of the inferior hosts have won, and even a couple of the fancied ones have flopped, so going by that I’d never have backed Germany.

[Ken4155]

Careful, ich, i might start calling you Capt Hindsight :-)

Cashed out the above bet on 78 mins for £23,68. Then put the £3.68 on the score to remain 2-1. So the bet returned £20.

[Ken4155]

BTTS & Ukraine @ 10/3
BTTS & Belgium @ 3/1
BTTS & Netherlands @ 5/2

£1 Trixie, £1 Treble (Stake £5) for a poss return of just under £187

[Ken4155]

Wanted to have a punt on both Yarmalenko and Pandev to have at least 1 shot on target each @ 5/1 with WH but problems with the site. So, gone for, £5 Ukraine 2-1 @ 17/2.

[Ken4155]

On 78 min in the above match, i logged on to my 365 account, thinking to myself, "If they are offering anything over £30, i'll cash out." They were offering a paltry £21.05p!!! I logged off in disgust, crossed my fingers, toes, eyes and legs, and hoped for the best. Then the penalty award and subsequent miss, but, all's well that ends well......Ukraine 2-1, Ken 4155's bank account + £47.50 :-))
