EURO 2024 Preview Futures & Picks

Boom!  thats the icebraker @DiamondJack

Good start 

UKRAINE V SLOVAKIA

Here we have a classic case of recency bias. Slovakia are on a high over un upset win over Belgium and Ukraine on the back of a shock defeat to Romania. That makes the line go from 1.94/-105 which were the opening odds for this match to 2.14/+114. Does that warrant a 20 cent move? I say no I expect a Ukraine win. I also like the prop of the La liga top scorer with 24 goals Dovbyk to open his account at these Euros. He also has 10 goals for his country in 29 appearances. 

23. Ukraine ML @ 2.14/+114 (1u) Bet365

24. Artem Dovbyk to score ANYTIME @ 3.10/+210 (1u) Bet365

LEAN

Ukraine more corners @ 1.80/-125

I have been high on Ukraine last year and a half. Have won a good amount of units backing them in national competitions.

Feel like I've seen you post a few things over the last few weeks related to backing Ukraine. 

Feel like public is starting to catch on since the Battle of Kyiv, so I laid off them advancing out of their group. But think they'll be a handful for Slovakia.

POLAND V AUSTRIA

The last time Austria beat Poland was in 1994 ever since Poland have won 3 and tied 2. I don't trust either side but I do like goals in this game. 4 of the last 5 games for Poland have gone over 2.5 and Austria has scored in 17 of their last 18 games. History states when 2 teams who lost their opening group game tend to go all out for the win and the total usually goes over 2.5 goals. Lewandowski is back for Poland and the Austrians have a 3rd string keeper.

25. Total Goals OVER 2.5 @ 2.00/+100 (1u) Bet365

26. BTTS YES @ 1.78/-128 (1u) Bet365

LEAN

Lewandowski anytime goal scorer YES @ 2.50/+150

NETHERLANDS V FRANCE

Once again in this match we have line movement that is not warranted. The opening line here was 1.80/-125, is the absence of Mbappe worth that much? I say no. Frances B team can take out the Dutch. These sides met last year in the nations league with France winning in Holland 2-1 and winning again 4-0 in France. The last 8 times France played the Netherlands they won 7. Getting plus money here is a gift.

27. France ML @ 2.20/+120 (2u) Unibet

LEAN

France to have more Corners @ 1.83/-120

I think there’s some perceived Mbappe injury uncertainty, at least as to how effective he’ll be w/ the mask, affecting this line a bit.

stepping toward the right direction!

Well done on Poland game, thx…

@DiamondJack

 
Regarding France, are you not worried that if the match is tied in the second half they might be content playing for the draw knowing they have Poland next? 

@CantPickAWinner

 yes I am

Once the K/O rounds begin I'll be on plenty of FT Draws 

GEORGIA v CZECHIA

A similar situation to that of Austria/Poland both sides need the win having lost their opening match. Both sides have quality attacking players in Soucek for the Czechs and Kvaratskhelia of Napoli for Georgia. Form wise in the last 6 games the Czech matches 23 goals were scored at an average of 3.83. The last 6 games for Georgia 18 goals have been scored averaging 3.00. I also think that Georgia might get something out of this game, 2-2 final.

28. Total Goals OVER 2.5 @ 2.08/+108 (2u) Unibet

29. Georgia +0.5 @ 2.10/+110 (1u) Pinnacle

LEAN

BTTS YES @ 1.95/-105

Loved the lean on the corners. Keep it rolling Diamond 

BOL on the Over and Georgia 

@DiamondJack

 I don’t think the Czech team will play such a wild open game…. They don’t know how… I loved Austria / Poland over and btts as well because I knew Austria is going to bring it and they did…. Czechs are more like Poland than Austria and they will play with a caution on D …. With a build up on offense…. I think their team effort will be to keep a clean score … good luck 

I made an Error and posted the France ML play in advance that I ended up cashing out of when Poland lost. The outcome of that game dictated everything France was going to do versus Holland. Going game by game until the K/O from now on

@pt2win

 I just know both teams suck at defending , but we shall see 

@DiamondJack

 The field sucks…. They cannot even practice on it…. On Czech sport radio they are fully aware of the very talented Georgia striker …. I still don’t think we will see such a ra ra game…. On paper Czechs should be bigger favorites than 130…. I thought more 160 so there is actually good value or better value….. 

I appreciate your takes/write ups but this is a pretty unforgivable post, especially for a 2 unit play. So now we’re to believe that you didn’t consider the other teams in the group and/or Austria beating Poland being a possibility, even though you capped that game as well? It reeks of ‘saving face’. 

I’m sure you would’ve made this same post had France won. 

Agree. Cannot back track. Especially for those following and placing where on same plays.
