bet365 cheering on England to win Euros with Spain well backed

bet365 will be happy to see England win Euro 2024 with liabilities building up not just on their opponents Spain but a number of their players.

Spain approached a double-figure price before the tournament with what looked like a tough group on paper with a crunch clash on the cards with hosts Germany in the quarter-finals, but Luis de la Fuente's side have made light work of most of their opposition.

bet365’s Steve Freeth said: “England may have started the Euros at the top of the betting with Spain relatively unfancied at a fifth best 9/1, but during the tournament it has been Luis de la Fuente’s side that have caught the eye the most and it will be the Spanish who start as favourites in Berlin. 

“Not only do we have them as big losers in the Outright market, we also have Rodri to worry about in the Player of the Tournament liabilities, Yamine Lamal for the Young Player award as well as the Most Assists market with punters being clearly impressed with what they’ve seen so far.

“Unless there’s a monumental shift towards England over the next few days, we’d be absolutely delighted to see Harry Kane lift the European Championship trophy on Sunday.”

The second semi-final followed in the footsteps of the first for bet365 with punters coming out on top.

“The market screamed that both games would be tight and low scoring but we had entertaining matches with early goals and both Super Boosts of Messrs Mbappe (2/5 – Evs) and Kane (1/2 – Evs) having a Shot on Target landing," Freeth added.

“To Score from Outside the Box has been very popular with the tournament littered with long range goals and 22/1 shot Xavi Simons added to Lamine Yamal’s wondergoal the night before at the same price.

“Match-winner Ollie Watkins talked about telling Cole Palmer that the Chelsea man would set him up for a goal when they entered the fray as substitutes in the second half and some bet365 customers were on the same wavelength having seen a number of Bet Builders for Watkins to Score Any Time/Palmer to Score or Assist at 60/1 which is exactly what happened, much to the joy of the nation.”
