A few nice footy bets for you punters to consider.
First off, the European Championships. Personally I don't think there's an outstanding bet available on tournament winner, so take a look at the options for Golden Boot winner. Here, don't be tempted by all the long odds available. You should stick to options that fulfill two main criteria: 1) They should be the main goal threat for the country that they play for. If they aren't even the most likely in their own team then they are extremely unlikely to score more than everybody else. 2) The team they play for should be fairly strong, not just because the team will then score more goals but also because it means they are more likely to progress and therefore have more chances to score more goals. It is also worth bearing in mind whether they take free kicks, penalties etc.
Ther are two tasty bets here. Baros is a good outsider at 50/1 with Coral. But the one staring at me in the face saying 'come on then you bitch' is Vieri at 9/1 with Hills. Fill yer boots.
Also an interesting market is next year's Champion's League. Bear in mid that this is now essentially a cup competition (as this year's tourny has proved). But I think Bayern Munich at 25/1 and Juventus at 20/1 are great value. That's level or longer than Liverpool, by the way.
