Top Tips for Betting on Euro 2024 This Summer
Euro 2024 is set to be one of the biggest sporting events of the year, a chance for a golden generation of English players to get their hands on a trophy and another chance for the world to see the likes of Mbappé on the big stage.
If you’re preparing to bet on the Euros, keep the following tips in mind.
Always Look for Welcome Bonuses
The online gambling sector is built on bonuses. They’re everywhere. You get one when you join and you should be able to collect regular offers as a loyal player, too. It’s not just betting sites, either. You can find a welcome bonus for slot players, live casino players, poker players, and much.
So, every time you find a new site, make sure it has a bonus. Check the terms and conditions, see what needs to be done, and fulfill all of the requirements.
It’s not quite free money, as you’ll likely need to deposit some cash and meet some wagering requirements. But it’s a huge help and could give you a decent return on your early bets.
You’re not limited to one site and one bonus, either. Join as many as you want and collect all of the bonuses you can get your hands on.
Don’t Bother with Accumulators
Accumulators always seem like a good idea. You bet a few quid, get massive odds, and if you’re lucky, you will win big. Every seasoned gambler has a story of winning big with a multiple, and if you query them about it they’ll probably tell you that they are in profit overall. But that’s only because they’re forgetting all of those failed multiples.
The simple fact is that the house edge is much higher on accumulators. The betting site has the advantage. You’re basically buying a lottery ticket and hoping for the best. If you want to place multiple bets, place them one at a time, and rather than using all of your winnings, bet only half of the total so that you’ll still have something if you lose.
Play the Long Game
Outright bets can be a great way to keep you interested in the tournament, and there can also be some great value there. The best bets are for Top Scorers and Top Players, as these awards regularly go to unexpected players. In 2020, the Top Player went to goalkeeper Donnarumma. In 2004, it went to Zagorakis, who helped his country, Greece, to a shock victory.
There is a lot of potential value in these bets and many different options. In addition to the main ones, you also have:
· Group Winner
· Team to Finish Bottom of the Group
· Teams to Make the Semi-Final
· Teams to Make the Final
· Team to Score the Most Goals
Forget About Domestic Results
It’s easy to look at the individual domestic performances of top players and assume that they will take that form into the tournament. But the international game is very different. Those players have different teammates and are going up against players they’re not used to playing.
Instead, focus on international form, looking at friendlies and comparing the players that shone during those games to the ones that will play at the Euros.
Think About Set Pieces
Set pieces make a massive difference in international European football. The margins are often so fine that a single well-executed free kick could be all it takes. The same is true for penalties. During the knockout stages, there’s a good chance that the games will go to penalty shootouts, and while they have a lottery element to them, the teams that advance are often the ones with the most skilled penalty-takers and goalkeepers.
Plot the Route
The route to the final is already plotted, and if you check the schedule, do a little math, and predict the games, you can get a good idea of who will play who and which team will end up with the trophy. So, the very first thing you should do is check the form and predict how things will go.
It will ensure you’re ready for big outright bets such as Tournament Winner, Top Goal Scorer, and Top Player. For instance, Portugal have what is arguably one of the easiest routes out of the group, giving top players like Ronaldo, Leao, Felix, Ramos, and Silva a chance to shine and notch many goals and assists before making it to the knockout rounds.
Summary: Preparing for the Euros
The European Championships are just around the corner. It all kicks off on the 14th of June in the city of Munich and will culminate with the final in Berlin on the 14th of July. In that 4-week period, we’ll get to witness the best players in Europe face-off against one another. There will be fireworks, and if you follow the betting tips outlined above, there could also be some tidy profits in it for you.
