I'm confused now  how many points do I owe each player, not including the first phase as I already submitted those points.

[Maiwen]

This Euro 2024 final promises to be difficult, we don't really know what to expect because Spain has never faced England in the final of a major cup. I think that the English players have good experience in this type of tournament and are playing in the Euro final for the second time. that's why I think England will beat Spain and win Euro 2024.

My prediction:

 

England 1 - Spain 0

15 points for each correct guess. So @Maiwen and @Fiekie247 30 points. @Afi4wins @Blackjax and @cocopop3011 15 points.

I've decided that I am going to place a bet for england to win today, just trying to find the best odds to put £10 on.

[Blackjax]

@cocopop3011 Whats the plan if England wins. How are you guys planning to celebrate? Do you guys celebrate if England wins big events? I mean its not happened since 1966 but still...

No celebrations here for us but I'm sure a lot of people will be celebrating in pubs and clubs today, either way.

Please try a casino that gives cashback on losses. Atleast you will get a second shot if you lose the bet.

Odds are terrible, doesn’t look like I’ll be placing my bet because I can’t benefit from them.  My own fault for leaving it too late.

[Blackjax]

You should have bet at the start for England to reach the finals as you were very confident. Should have followed your gut feeling.

I have checked few sites for UK players and most of them have Odds of 3.55 in favour of England. It was same during semi final. Bookies are favouring Spain to win as odds against them are 2.5.

If England wins the final, the players themselves would be celebrating big cos they'd be getting some good rewards for their achievement. Honestly speaking, I would say England has a 50-50 chance of being the champions after such a loooong break.

Shall I do a few of these bets? £1 each on a few different ones?

I dont understand fraction odds. 

In situations like these go for other things like how many corners and yellow cards. England have been naughty this year, I see more than 2 yellow cards in the final.

If you want I can check total number of yellow cards and corner kicks for England this Euro cup.

It’s okay Iim just going to select a few of these, I understand the odds, I just don’t understand some of the terms like “shots on target” - what does that mean?

When a player kicks the ball towards the goal and it is in the frame of the goal its a shot on target, doesn't matter if it goes in or not. If a player shoots towards the goal and it misses the whole frame its just a shot. 

Black ones are shots on target. Orange ones are just shots.
