What The Bookmakers Are Saying About The Euro 2008 Competition

After the announcement of the teams that would compete in the Euro 2008 Football Competition, and especially after the pots were drawn, bookmakers all over the world began to formulate those first odds for each participating team. Although the process of setting odds has continued to shift slightly as the games draw closer, there are still several countries that are favored to do well and are carrying excellent odds. Here are a few examples.

Without fail, most bookmakers are predicting a very good chance for either Italy, Germany, or the Netherlands to carry the day. In spite of some recent issues, all three of these teams continue to be highly favored. The combination of consistent performance and the stability of these teams has made them obvious choices among fans, commentators and bookmakers alike. For anyone who is looking for a relatively sure thing, these are the ones to consider.

Also highly rated are France and Portugal. While neither team has a home advantage this time around, they do both exhibit some strengths that may be enough to cause an upset as the games get underway. However, they will have their work cut out for them if they are to bubble to the top and win the championship.

Switzerland and Austria are serving as the joint hosts for the Euro 2008 Competition. To a degree, this may help both of them to play well. However, bookmakers in general are not putting a lot of faith in this factor. Switzerland is generally garnering better odds than Austria, but neither team is considered to be among the top five contenders among the sixteen teams. However, someone who is into long shots may choose to give a little more credence to the idea of playing at home and choose to align with either of these teams. After all, upsets have been known to happen that surprised fans, critics, and bookmakers alike.
