Review of the most laughable bets on Euro 2016

During every big football tournament bookmakers, except from usual bets 1X2, prepare additional entertainment for their customers. Everybody understands perfectly, that except from right predictions of matches or goal scorers, all the more players choose the most unique bets.

Will the medical men let an injured footballer slip?
We have many times in history been witnesses of situations when lights went off during a match – of course, not at our home, but on the stadium. Sometimes it was a short break whereas sometimes everything was ok, and sometimes the trouble did not allow to end the match. In both cases the bookmaker Betsson is ready to pay out money if you bet on such possibility. The odds look rather attractive – 37/2. The same odds can be received in case the medical men let an injured footballer slip during a match. In its turn Betsson estimated a situation if a match is stopped due to a flying over the stadium drone by 49/1.

Do you remember the bad mood of the national team of France during the World Cup in South Africa in 2010? What if this time some team will decide to boycott a training? Bettors who predict the given event can multiply their funds by 20 times (19/1). Probably, you could have also been a witness of a situation when during a match the running referee loses his spray. If you feel that a similar situation can happen on Euro 2016 you can bet with the odds Even.

Will any of the footballers hit an opponent with his head?
The situation is such unpleasant and tough, unfortunately happening rather often on the field. Despite players know about being observed by cameras from all sides and try to keep their emotions down, all the time there will be such a footballer who will intentionally hit an opponent with his head. So, if you think that there will be at least one such dare-devil during the whole tournament, you can bet with the odds 4/1. At the moment when emotions reach the peak, they often go not only on the terrace, but also in the dugout. For every card a reserve player gets, punters will get odds at the level of 3/2 from Betsson bookmaker.

Zlatan, Ronaldo or anybody else? Will anybody score a “scissors goal” during the championship? If you think that it will happen then you can bet at high odds at 9/1. In its turn, if you feel that one of the footballers will decide to celebrate a scored goal (not necessarily a scissors goal) by taking off his T-shirt – you can bet on it at bookmakers. The odds at the level of 3/5 of 6/5 if you think that no player takes off his shirt.

A goal on the 67 second of a match?

A huge amount of bets for bettors, who understand different statistics and records from previous tournaments best, has been prepared by the bookmaker Betsafe. For example, the fastest goal in history of the European Championship. Till now the Russian Dmitriy Kirichenko is the record-holder, scoring a goal on the 68 second in a match of Euro 2004. Players, thinking that in France a footballer will score faster, have an offer from bookmakers to multiply the funds by 30 times 29/1. In its turn, the record-holder of the fastest hat trick in the history of Euro still is Michel Platini, who scored three goals within 18 minutes in 1984. The odds makers of Betsafe estimate the odds for beating this record at the level of 249/1.

In 1976 Yugoslavia was winning over FRG in the semi-final with the score 2:1, when Deiter Muller came out as a substitute. His appearance can be called the “appearance of a dragon”, because he managed to score three times into the opponent’s gates and bring his team into the final. If such situation could be repeated on this tournament, that a substitute player scores a hat trick, then the bookmaker will multiply the funds by 224/1.

Three penalties within a match?
Do you remember an insane performance of the goalkeeper of Columbia Rene Hugiuta? If you think that one of the goalkeepers can repeat the “scorpion hit”, then you will exchange your knowledge into money. The odds make 224/1. But if you think that there will be at least one match during which a referee will set three penalties the odds are 19/1. Of course, here the bets do not count the after match penalties.

There have been situations in the history of football, when a footballer was in such great shape that scored not just into the opponent’s gates, but also into his own. For such possibility the bookmaker Betsafe has prepared the odds at the level 94/1. Somewhat lower, but still at a decent level are the odds for a substitute player being able to score a goal at first contact with the ball. Here the odds make 37/2.

Betsafe took care of the coaches
A separate category in the bookmaker offer are bets, concerning the unusual behavior of coaches during the tournament. Here you can also find the most interesting options, which have happened in the past. The question is: “Will a coach be caught while … picking his nose?” The odds? In fact, it doesn’t look so abstract, since they make 9/1. A situation in which a coach of a national team refuses to shake hands with the other coach, is estimated at a lower rate, the odds being 44/1.
