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

[Buenchico]

While you're waiting for Ken, I'll throw in a suggestion of France to win, paired with Kylian Mbappé as the top scorer in the competition.

Unfortunately, I doubt that you'd get very good odds with such a predictable suggestion though ;-)

[postman44]

Could do well France Buenchico.

[Ken4155]

I've not really had a proper look yet, posty, waiting to see if any of the firms come up with irresistible offers :-) However, just had a quick peek at Oddschecker which tells me MBappe can be got at 11/1 with both Unibet and SBK, neither of which i use, but is a general 9/1 with most of the others. France are 9/2 - 5/1 to win outright. With Willy Hill, France win/Mbappe Golden Boot is 20/1.

[Mozz71]

Not sure what the odds are, but I reckon Romalu Lukaku is a good outside bet for top scorer.

Italy

[Ken4155]

Lukaku hardly an 'outside' bet, Mozz; 2nd fav @ around 7/1.

[Mozz71]

RKen, in fairness I did say I didn't know the odds! Surprised he is quite that short a price, but I guess Belgium are among the favourites.

[Ken4155]

The following 6 teams are all playing their Group games on home soil and, with that advantage, i'm taking them to win their groups;

Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, England, Spain & Germany. £5 acca @ just under 17/1 (Skybet) = poss return of £89.05.

I am also hopeful that the following 6 teams will finish in 2nd place in the groups and have done the forecasts;

Group B; Belgium x Denmark
Group C; Netherlands x Ukraine
Group D; England x Croatia

£5 Treble @ almost 18/1 = poss return of £94.74

Group A; Italy x Switzerland @ 13/5
Group E; Spain x Sweden @ 9/4
Group F; Germany x France @ 11/4

£1 Trixie/£1 Treble for a poss return of £125

Also done a £3.83 acca on all 6 @ just over 830/1 for a poss £3,184

And, an offer that closes today. England to score more than 1 goal in each of their 3 Group games; £5 @ 4/1.

[Ken4155]

Using a chart provided by one of the newspapers, i have tried to map out each teams progress. However, after the group stages, it becomes a tad difficult as 4 of the 1st round ko games involve teams who finished 1, 2 or 3 in their groups.
I have us down to face France in the 1st round ko and, only by the virtue of the match taking place on home soil at Wembley, i have tentatively put us through to the QF against Spain. Again i believe home advantage will see us through but then we meet Belgium in the semi final and i do believe that's where we part company with the tournament.
My two finalists are Belgium and Germany.

[Ken4155]

Having slept on it, so to speak, my mind is made up and i believe Belgium will win Euro 2020. The best price i can get with my existing accounts is 6/1 (available @ 7s with a few other firms) but i won't be placing the bet just yet as i may come across a 'special' before the tournament gets under way.

[Ken4155]

I note that no-one has spotted my mistake in saying all 6 of my selections are playing all 3 group matches on home soil. Belgium, of course, are not.

[Ken4155]

Lukaku, Kane, Mbappe, Gnabry, Lewandowski & Yilmaz to be their national team's top scorers.

£5 @ just under 88/1 = poss return of £444.33

Jota - Portugal @ 5/1, McGinn - Scotland @ 5/1, Torres - Spain @ 4/1 and Soucek - Czech @ 11/2. All to be their side's top scorers.

£1 doubles, £1 Trebles, £1 acca; Stake £11, poss return = £2,189.50.

[Ken4155]

The 6/1 on Belgium to win hasn't changed within any of the firms i use, but i have taken advantage of Willy Hill's offer. Stake a £10 win, or £5 each way, on the selection of your choice and you will receive a £5 free bet per each game they win. Now, before any pedantic bright spark comes along and points out that free bets are not cash, cash can be won with free bets.
£10 win Belgium @ 6/1 - poss return of £70.

Given the above bet, it would be prudent of me to go for Romalu Lukaku as top scorer but, again, i am waiting to see if his price changes or any offers come along.

[Ken4155]

Knew if i waited i'd discover a decent 'offer'. Sky are offering to award a £3 free bet for every goal scored by selected Golden Boot contender, to a £10 stake.

£10 Romalu Lukaku to win Golden Boot @ 13/2 = poss return £75

£5 Free Bet; Lukaku Golden Boot/Belgium win @ 25/1 = poss £125

I will be looking at the possibility of getting involved in other markets prior to the commencement of the tournament tomorrow evening.

[Togo]

What is the matter with you all? Kane top scorer, England, winners. £5.00 @16/1.
