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.

89 days and counting...

The countdown clock is ticking to this summer's big Euro 2008 football tournament.
With the Home Nations all having failed to qualify it's going to be a long summer for British and Irish footie fans as we sit watching the cream of Europe battle it out in Switzerland and Austria.

The opportunity to be served a jug of ale by busty Austrian beauties has passed us all by and there will be no yodelling 'Engerland..Engerland' in the Alps or bagpipes blowing in Berne this time round. It is a undoubted disaster for no Home Nations to be represented at a tournament of this stature and we'll all have to make do with watching from afar this time round...a crying shame!

With this void in all our lives for Euro 2008 and to keep the interest in the tournament up I've decided that the way forward is to be involved in as many Fantasy Football competitions as I can. This blog is designed to keep you informed of any new Euro 2008 Fantasy competions that appear (and there will be plenty) and to keep you abreast of the numerous betting opportunities that will be on offer up to the tournaments big kick off in 89 days.

Over the next couple of months we'll be looking at the countries involved in Euro 2008, the tournament itself, the players, the managers, the venues, the fixtures... but mainly the many Fantasy competions that will be on offer. I will also be setting up Super Leagues in tournaments so we can all battle it out and also keeping you abreast of odds and offers available from the many online bookies as the battle commences to get your 2008 betting stakes.

England, Scotland, Ireland, Northern Ireland and Wales may not be there and we're all at a loss because of this no matter what nationality we are. But I tell you what, we're gonna have a damn good time watching this tournament even without our own teams to follow so keep coming back to 'You only Yodel when you're winning' and let battle commence...
