[B]1430:[/B] bet365 have cut [B]David Villa[/B] from 4/9 to 1/4 to land the [B]Euro 2008 Golden Boot[/B], despite him missing the final against Germany on Sunday.

bet365 spokesman Steve Freeth said: "There would have been a few customers nervously holding their double-figure ante-post vouchers when David Villa hobbled off against Russia.

"His absence means there could be a number of punters hiding behind the sofa when Lukas Podolski takes aim on Sunday!"[/quote]

Yup im one of those nervous punters hoping that things stay as they are in the GS market!

Out of interest - does anyone know what would happen if someone tied with Villa on 4 goals? I used betfair to place my bet!

Dead heat rules apply.

Which means that you win, but only half your stake.

[quote=budda1312;1089294]I reckon the playoff phase matches will again bring 1-0 results so the reasonable chance is to go for a good team with a striker able to score 3+ in the group phase. Germany is a puzzle, they have many offensive players, thwy had their top goalscorer last time (WC2006) and will play two well-defending teams (Croatia and Poland), their last game being with Austria some second string striker may have the most of it though I doubt it would be a hattrick so Germans for the above reasons are out for me. Portugal has also a pretty tough group with sensible defending, they boast splendid midfielders and Ronaldo used to underperform at big occasions. Their coach has twisted mentality and I can't see many goals coming from Portugal. I personally like the look of Luca Toni and David Villa but excuse me I need to go for a pee maybe someone else will explain why these two [/quote]

had Toni made use of a little speck of his chances...
but who cares
