We begin our preview of the Euro 2012
odds and matches with the Group A clash between Poland and Greece. While
the country is still in shambles, the people of Greece are looking
forward to reclaiming some past glory and a victory against Poland would
boost the spirits, according to a few of the country's politicians (yes,
we even went political here).
Of
course, when it comes to soccer betting, the online bookmakers are all
about hard cash and no politics or feelings are involved. Thus the
bookies are keeping a level head when posting the odds on the first
Group A match (Poland vs Greece) and Poland are naturally the favourite
to win the game. At our most recommended online bookmaker,
Bet 365 (get £100

1.90 and the Greece are holding long odds 4.50 to deliver an upset on
Friday, while a draw will pay punters on 3.25 odds.
If, for some reason, you want to bet on Greece to win the game, the
odds on the Greek team are slightly better for the punter at
Betsson, where the
bookie will pay on 4.63 if Greece beats Poland in the Group A first
match. Paddy Power should also get
consideration, granted they have boosted their odds on Poland to 2.00,
so you should give them a shot, although their welcome bonus is a bit
smaller than Bet 365 offers.
