Euro 2012 winner betting  

Euro 2012 Outright winner
 

This Euro 2012 betting market is also known as Euro 2012 Champions, Euro 2012 team to lift the trophy or simply Euro 2012 winner. Different online bookies might have a different name for this betting market but it can't be anything different than the ones mentioned above. This is a self explanatory betting market as obviously someone is betting for the team that they believe will be the Euro 2012 Champions.

Betting on the Euro 2012 Winner Each Way

Most Euro 2012 bookmakers will offer the Euro 2012 Winner market Each Way, paying 2 places at ½ of the odds. On an each way bet, your bet is actually divided in 2 parts . The win part and the place part. By betting each way on the Euro 2012 winner you are backing the team to win with one part of your bet and the team to reach the final with the other part of your bet. You have actually 2 bets that you have to pay for, so if you want to stake 20£/€, that will cost you 40£/€. If the team you backed is the Euro 2012 winner you are getting paid for both parts of the bet. This means 20 X full odds ( win ) + 20 X 1/2 of the odds ( place) . If the team you backed reaches the final but doesn’t win the Euro 2012 then you lose the win part of your bet and you win just on the place part (20 X 1/2 of the odds.
 

Euro 2012 Winner Each Way example

For example: Someone has backed England at 9/1 ( 10.00 in decimal odds) £10 each way with ½ of the odds for 2 places as I stands at the moment in most online bookies. This means that the bet costs £20 in total. If England wins Euro 2012 then the returns are 9/1 X £10 ( win part of the bet ) + 9/1 X ( £10 X ½ ) = £150. If England reaches the final of the Euro 2012 but doesn’t win then the returns on that bet will be £50
 

Euro 2012 top Goal scorer betting

This market is also known as Euro 2012 Golden Boot winner and it is a bet for the player with the most goals in the Euro 2012. Some bookies might name that market also as Euro 2012 Leading Goal scorer.

Euro 2012 top Goal scorer Each Way betting

This Euro 2012 betting market works the same way as the Outright Winner market that we explained above. The difference is that bookmakers will pay more places on that market for each way bets. Most bookies will pay 4 places in ¼ of the odds for a Top Goalscorer Each Way on the Euro 2012. This means that even if the player you had a bet on doesn’t finish on the top of the Euro 2012 scoring board but up to the 4^th place then your each way bet will return you some money depending of course on the odds you backed, as your each way part of the bet still wins.

Dead Heat in Euro 2012 top Goalscorer betting

So you had a bet on Euro 2012 top Goal scorer and the player backed scored 4 goals and he is on the top of the table...but he is not alone. There is another player who scored 4 goals in the Euro 2012. What happens if 2 players score the same number of goals in the Euro 2012? The majority of online bookmakers will have a set rule for this which is called dead heat. Dead hit rule in the case a of top goal scorer in Euro 2012 means that your bet counts for half the amount you bet on and you are still taking the full odds. So , if you had £100 on 10/1 and there is a dead hit between 2 top goal scorers in the Euro, then it is like you had £50 on 10/1, and that’s how the bookie is going to pay out your bet.
