Euro 2008 Betting – Top Scorer Betting Preview

The top goal scorer betting market at Euro 2008 provides an interesting alternative for bettors unable to decide on a pick for outright winner. Top handicap sportsbook PinnacleSports.com have added a unique spin to the standard top scorer market by offering a number of head-to-head Euro 2008 goal scoring markets priced to less than 102%.  ie Potentially some good Value Betting!

Bayern Munich Stars Battle for Goal-Scoring Supremacy

Miroslav Klose has grabbed the Golden Boot at the last two World Cups, and Germany head the outright winners market at PinnacleSports.com priced 5.120*, however the Bayern Munich striker’s season was disrupted by injury. Klose bagged only ten Bundesliga goals this season, whereas his Italian team-mate, Luca Toni, was the top scorer in the German top flight with 24 goals. Nevertheless, as Germany have landed a much easier group than Italy, PinnacleSports.com price Klose 1.714* to outscore Toni 2.300*, in their Euro 2008 head-to-head goal scoring matchup – priced to less than 102%.

Torres or Ronaldo – Who’ll Score More At Euro 2008?

PinnacleSports.com also put Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo up against Spain’s Fernando Torres in an Iberian Euro 2008 top scorer head-to-head. Ronaldo enjoyed a record-breaking season scoring 42 goals from midfield, including in the Champions League final, while Torres notched 33 in his first Premiership season. Both Portugal and Spain are expected to prosper at Euro 2008, but despite missing some important penalties, Ronaldo is expected to continue his purple patch, priced 1.840* on PinnacleSports.com’s top scorer head-to-head match-ups, with Torres priced 2.090*.

How Many Goals Will the Big Names Score?

As well as a host of further top scorer head-to-head options, PinnacleSports.com are offering two-way Euro 2008 betting odds for the number of goals Klose, Ronaldo, Torres and Toni will score. Klose is 1.885* to score OVER 2.5 goals and 2.030* to go UNDER; Ronaldo is also priced 1.885* for the OVER and 2.030* for the UNDER; while Torres is slightly bigger odds for the OVER at 1.909*, priced 2.000* go UNDER 2.5 goals, and finally Italy’s Luca Toni, playing in the Group of Death is 2.060* to score more than 2.5 goals at Euro 2008 and 1.862* to score less than 2.5 goals.

Euro 2008 Mini Sites for Smarter Betting

Several online bookmakers are fleshing out their Euro 2008 sports betting offerings with a live stats mini-site developed by sports content provider Enetpulse.

So what? Well…the aim of the mini-site is to provide you, the punter, with free detailed live commentary and match stats that apparently will be available on every Euro 2008 game. Very cool for those of us too lazy to go trawling the web ourselves and there is nothing like making informed bets to improve your bank balance!  🙂

Each Euro2008 mini-site is basically a template (ie they’re kinda the same) but provide in-depth analysis, statistics, news, fixtures, results, tournament guides and team pages.

Enetpulse’s Euro 2008 mini-site partners include, Ladbrokes, Victor Chandler, Betfred and Pinnacle Sports, each rated and reviewed in detail at BookieLabRat.com.

I suggest you check a Euro 2008 Mini-site out soon!
