CORKER of a bet - Fastest goal in tourny !!!

[Mr Accumulator]

Sportingbet go 5/6 (1.83) over or under 130.5 seconds for the time of the fastest goal scored in the whole of Euro 2008 .

Now at first i fancied the overs just because i saw it as a good interest bet that could last the whole tourny with a bit of luck . All i have to do is watch the 1st 2mins of games and hope for no goal , sounds easy .

Now i researched it last night a little (i say a little coz theres not much to read up on ,from what i couold find anyway) and i was pleased with what i found ..........

There have been 14 european championships since it began in 1958 (russia) and theres only been 3 goals scored under 3 mins !!! And 1 of those was Michael Owens goal for England vs Portugal after 2mins 34 secs ,so even that wouldnt count for this bet . Ive no idea what the times were for the fastest 2 goals , i cant find it anywhere ,But i did read that Owens was the 3rd fastest ever goal in the european championhips history, but lets say both were under 130.5 secs , that equates to 2 goals scored under 130.5 secs in 14 events making the 10/11 a pretty decent bet to me .

Fastest goal of Euro 2008 - OVER 130.5 secs @ 10/11 Sportingbet

Cheers all

Dont forget there are (presumably) more games now with 16 teams than there were for the majority of European Championships with 8 teams.... (not saying that makes it a bad bet - just dont forget to consider it)

[Mr Accumulator]

Fair point mate , didnt think about that

[PAULM03]

Still sounds nuts though. I wonder what the proportion of games is where a goal is scored within 2 mins?

[Charlie Wong]

Just my luck

In all seriousness though , before it began i thought ,as many would , sweating out the 1st 2 mins would be a doddle , but believe me those 2 minutes dont half drag

Anyway , 4 down , 27 to go

5 down 26 to go
