Euro 2008... Top Goalscorer betting

With the domestic season now over the bookies will be going into overdrive to try and get your wagers on Euro 2008. A popular market during any big tournament is who will be the Top Goalscorer and some of the firms have already priced up on this one with some huge differences of opinion between their respective odds compilers. Here's some of the players who are quoted and the best prices on offer...
Miroslav Klose 9-1 Bet365
Cristiano Ronaldo 11-1 Betfred
Luca Toni 12-1 SkyBet
Lukas Podolski 14-1 SkyBet
Fernando Torres 14-1 Bet365
Thierry Henry 16-1 SkyBet
Ruud v. Nistelrooy 16-1 SkyBet
David Villa 20-1 Betfred
Mario Gomez 25-1 Bet365
Kevin Kuranyi 33-1 SkyBet
David Trezeguet 33-1 SkyBet
Robin Van Persie 33-1 Betfred
Karim Benzema 40-1 Bet365
Nicolas Anelka 40-1 Bet365
Michael Ballack 50-1 SkyBet
Milan Baros 50-1 SkyBet
Jan Koller 66-1 SkyBet
Franck Ribery 80-1 Betfred
Sidney Govou 100-1 SkyBet
Cesc Fabregas 100-1 Betfred

As I say, though there are only three bookies giving odds just now, their compilers differ greatly with some of these players having very different prices with different firms.

Miroslav Klose is the firm favourite with both SkyBet and Betfred at 9-1, but Bet365 have plumped for Luca Toni as their favourite at 8-1. If you fancy the big Italian, to score the most goals that is, the you can get 50% more for your money by betting him at SkyBet and Betfred.

One of the other interesting differences is Liverpool's lethal young Spaniard Fernando Torres. OK, the Spaniards are regularly fancied in big tourneys to do well and always let everyone down, but Torres is quoted as 9-1 joint favourite with Ronaldo and Klose with SkyBet, but is available at a huge 14-1 with Bet365.

Others are Spain's David Villa who is 20-1 with Betfred but only 12s at Bet365, Arsenal's Robin Van Persie at 33-1 with Betfred, but only 20s at Bet365 and Karim Benzema who's generally 25-1 but is 40-1 with Bet365.

You better...you Euro 2008 BET...

With the domestic football season coming to an end it is only going to be a matter of time before the bookies start bombarding us all with their range of bets for Euro 2008. If you're thinking of having a punt on this, and haven't done so already then now is the time to get your bet on before the action starts to really hot up, the money starts to flow and the odds get cut.

Today we take our first look at some of the prices available for the big tournament and where better to start than the outright betting for the winner of Euro 2008. Here is a list of the best prices available at present and where to find them...

Germany 4-1 SkyBet
Spain 13-2 BlueSq
Italy 7-1 SkyBet
Portugal 15-2 Bet365
France 9-1 Partybets
Holland 14-1 Totesport
Croatia 14-1 Totesport
Czech Rep 16-1 SkyBet
Greece 25-1 SkyBet
Switzerland 25-1 Totesport
Sweden 33-1 Betfred
Russia 33-1 Bet365
Romania 50-1 SkyBet
Poland 50-1 StanJames
Turkey 50-1 BlueSq
Austria 125-1 Totesport

There's no real surprises at the top of the market with Germany being the outright favourites for the tournament and Austria easily being the whipping boys and quoted at a huge price of 125-1 (add a few zeros onto that and you still wouldn't go near it!)

One thing that is apparent from an early first look at the prices is that it pays to shop around. Holland are a best price of 14-1 with Totesport. Were you to hold an account with Partybets and were to just lump your money on there without shopping around you'd be only get a measly 9-1. Croatia are similar, with again Totesport offering 14-1 but the majority of the others only pricing up at 12s or even 10s.

There's going to be a fortune bet on this summer's tournament, maybe not so much because England, Scotland and the rest of the home nations aren't there but there will still be millions and millions of wagers placed. make sure you keep coming back to YOYWYW to keep up-to-date on the best offers the bookies bring out to try to tempt you to bet with them.
