Germany have been the long time favourites to win Euro 2008 with the bookmakers and are currently best priced 4/1 to win the competition they last won in 1996. However, in the two tournaments since that last victory, the German's have not won a single European Championship game and must improve on that record if they are to stand a chance this time around. They are in Group B along with Croatia, Poland and Austria and for that reson, backers are confident that they can make it to the knock out stages.
Spain, Italy, Portugal and France are also well fancied to have big tournaments and the betting is very competitive. Spain are the narrow second favourites at best odds of 6/1, whilst Italy, Portugal and France are all available at odds of between 7/1 and 8/1.
Of the bigger priced teams, Holland are sure have plenty of supporters at odds of 14/1 with Stan James but most get results against France and Italy in Group C if they are to progress to the Quarter Finals.
One of the reasons that betting on Euro 2008 is expected to be so popular is because it looks very tight and anyone of several teams has a chance of winning and therefore the betting odds are quite attractive to football fans who will be looking forward to enjoy all the action live on TV.
