Holland - What a let down
To say this has been a disastrous few days of betting would be an understatement. The form book has gone out of the window and all 3 underdogs won in the Euro quarter finals. I got out of jail free on the first 2 with clawback bets coming good.
The luck ran out tonight though. Backing Holland has been a goldmine. Good odds and they won all 3 group games by 2 or goals. So, against the Russians, I’d think it was printing money. I had £50 each on
Holland straight at Paddypower at 1.8
HT/FT Extrabet at 2.83 and
-1 on the 1X2 handicap at 3.00 at bet365
Plus a cheeky tenner on the Dutch to score 4 or more goals at 11.0 at Corals.
Unfortunately the Dutch didn’t turn up. Out played and outclassed, the Russians should have been out of sight. Van Persie did jack all when he came on. With no Robben and Kuyt not playing well, the Dutch never looked like scoring in open play. So £160 lost. Pod lost even more. Highlights of the game can be seen here
Thats it for me this tournament. Too hard to predict how things are going to go. Bookies must be laughing all the way to the bank, especially Paddypower and Betfred who went top price on the Dutch.
