Betting on Euro 2008

I like watching football matches but I feel that I always don't have enough time for myself and thus I don't have NOW TV installed @ home. So, you can imagine that I seldom watch such games except during the World Cup (I went to Germany for World Cup 2006) period.

Coincidentally, the first match of the Euro 2008 falls onto a Saturday and more importantly, live broadcast was available in TVB. I thus spent a "sleepless" night on it last night. To make the whole experience even more entertaining and exciting, I logon the Hong Kong Jockey Club website to learn more about the teams and of course placed some bets. It's been quite a long while since I bet on football matches again. I still recall that I won several thousands HKD a few years ago with my bet on Arsenal. But I feel that betting on football matches doesn't offer good odds, thus I was very quiet in recent years in this thing.

So about the bet last night, how was it? I won several hundred dollars in the match between Switzerland (one of the hosts of the Euro 2008) & Czech Republic. Will try my luck again tonight on the match between another host, Austria Vs Croatia.
