"Tonybet" gambler's diary. Journalist M.Pocius (day 12) © EuroFootball.com

Crying crocodile tears. For reasons unknown to me, the system did not retain the bet that was supposed to bring symbolic daily profit. Italy and Spain achieved the expected victories, but when I opened the section of daily predictions on the website of the betting company, I saw that such a prediction was somehow not saved, so instead of profit, I calculate a loss. The author of these lines is likely the culprit, but will you blame yourself?

The "negative" bets were quite fun and kept the tension until the final whistle of the judges. Unfortunately, the predicted penalty shootout did not happen in the entertainment bet, although S. Ramos seemed to do everything to make my bet work. In another bet, the prediction that the Italians would keep a "clean sheet" was confirmed, but everything was ruined by Spain, only scoring one goal.

Today we finish the group stage. Last games in Group D: England - Ukraine and France - Sweden.

Balance: 766.95 Lt

France - Sweden France ball control (%) more > 56.0 and Ukraine - England Ukraine ball control (%) more > 49.5 (total odds 3.42). Bet - 15 Lt

The Swedes are already sitting on suitcases, and they didn’t even play against the English, who demonstrated a similar style. The most important thing for the French is not to lose, but they also want to avoid the Spaniards in the next stage, so I see no reason why ball control should be lower.

Both the English and the French will settle for a draw. Only Ukraine will be satisfied with a victory. By the way, they are the only team in the group matches who came close to the ball control of the French players. However, the weather conditions could have had an influence. The only thing that can spoil the bet is perhaps the return of W. Rooney from disqualification, which could inspire the English team to play like on wings. Just kidding, of course. The British are showing only a fighting spirit so far, not "winged" football.

Ukraine - England the second team will win and France - Sweden the first team will win (total odds 3.76). Bet - 15 Lt.

Yesterday my wishes came true, although my wallet was not filled. Today - a second double. It creeps into my mind that Ukraine may not agree with my wishes, but love is blind towards the English.

Ukraine - England W. Rooney will score a goal (odds 2.55). Bet - 10 Lt.

England is praying for him and waiting as if for a grandmother's pension. I am also waiting. For a goal, not a pension.
