The biggest sporting event of the year, Euro 2012, kicks off this coming Friday June 8th in Warsaw, Poland, with Greece taking on the home side in the opening match. At Euro 2008 the Czechs were able to defeat Switzerland, the favored home side in the opening match. Similarly in 2004 the eventually champions, Greece, surprised the host Portugal team in the opening round match winning 2-1. Will Greece once again be able to win as an underdog against the host team in a European Championship?

Money Line Odds
Poland -105

A spread bet on Poland will payout if Poland wins the match, while a spread bet on Greece will payout if either Greece wins the match outright or the match finishes in a draw.
Total Points

Under 2 -120
This is an over/under bet on the total number of goals that will be scored in the match. If exactly 2 goals are scored then the bets will be a ‘push’, which means the wagers will be returned.
