Interesting. This is not the case, to put it mildly, in any other sport I have studied.

I live in Slovenj Gradec which is closer to Maribor. Obligatory question: Lasko or Union?

Definitely Lasko, they're not all that different really though.

Weird. I did a paper on it last summer, and there were a ton of articles on the "favourite-longshot bias": People overestimate an underdog's chance of winning. This could be a horse in a race where you get odds 50 to 1, when in reality the odds should be 1000 to 1 for instance.

Well it seems that the match fixing scandal has come just in time for Italy to win another major International tournament.

Lump on Italy.

Edit: I assume Domenico Criscito won't be going to the Euros now?

Guess I'd go with Bodog if I don't get info on the other sites

They should be fine mate, They're both legitimate bookmakers.

Jelavic at 50/1 looks a decent bet.

i think its too short

France gonna steamroll this ****

[bigdottawa]

Criscito out for Italy. That's a big loss. And it seems like a lot of guilty until proven innocent.

[SMUTTTT]

they seem to be focusing a lot on the lazio-genoa game around 1 year ago, 4-2 for lazio

[SMUTTTT]

they have to take a look at inter genoa 5-4 game too

[Benedmonds]

Anybody with any Golden Boot bets?
