Euro 2012 Free Bets
Spain go into Euro 2012 as the strong betting favourites to complete a hat-trick of major international tournaments. Having won Euro 2008 and the World Cup in 2010 there is no doubting that Vincente del Bosque’s side are the team to beat, but the likes of Germany, Netherlands, France, Italy and even England are circling and waiting to pounce upon any vulnerabilities shown.
Betting on the European Championships is expected to break many records this summer as patriotic punters back Roy Hodgson’s England side and those looking for a bit of history back the Spaniards. Euro 2012 free bets will be available to use from the kick off of the opening match, right the way through to the Euro 2012 final on every market from the outright winner to the number of corners taken in any one specific game.
Euro 2012 free bets range from as little as £5 to as much as £200 and are available in a variety of formats. Bookmakers’ terms and conditions vary from offer to offer so check out our bookie page for all the information that you need.

Euro 2012 Betting Markets
If you’re looking for a bet on pretty much any aspect of Euro 2012, then you won’t be disappointed. Before a ball is even kicked punters can use their Euro 2012 free bets to bet on, for example, which players will be named in Roy Hodgson’s England squad. As well as the obvious outright winner market there is also betting on the top tournament goalscorer, who will win each group, the stage of elimination for each of the 16 teams and the total tournament goals.
If you like to find a niche in your betting and stay away from the mainstream markets then you can use your Euro 2012 free bet to punt on the total number of red cards shown in the tournament, whether a hat-trick will be scored or not and even the total number of goalless draws to be played out.
When it comes to the matches themselves the Match Odds market is obviously the most popular, closely followed by total goals betting. There are also all the standard football betting markets that bettors have come to associate with the Premier League and Champions League:
- First Goalscorer
- Correct Score
- Half-time/Full-time
- Asian Handicap
- Both Teams to Score
- Winning Margin
- Draw No Bet
......and many, many more.
If you can’t find a betting market to use your Euro 2012 free bet on then maybe betting on Euro 2012 isn’t for you.
Euro 2012 Betting
With Spain looking to make history and become the first nation to ever win three major trophies in succession it’s easy to see why they are favourites. However, there have been signs since the World Cup that this is a team in decline. Talisman David Villa has missed the best part of Barcelona’s season with a broken leg, while strike partner Fernando Torres looks a shadow of the player who scored the winning goals in the Euro 2008 final.
Germany’s 100% record in Euro 2012 qualification makes them an obvious option for your Euro 2012 free bet. The Germans’ pedigree at major tournaments almost guarantees punters a run for their money and they are worthy second favourites in the betting.
Netherlands come in as third favourites having also had an impressive qualification campaign for the finals. The Dutch only surrendered their 100% record in the final game of the group stages when qualification was already secured. After coming so close in the World Cup finals in South Africa they’ll be keen to go one better this time around.
Finally, a mention to England who go to the championships under the stewardship of new manager Roy Hodgson. The former West Bromwich Albion boss has a wealth of international experience from his time spent as the national team coach with Switzerland and Finland, and England look to have been drawn in a group where they can expect to comfortably qualify for the knockout stages. Regardless of the Three Lions’ genuine chances they will always attract plenty of patriotic Euro 2012 free bets and perhaps with the burden of expectation removed slightly England could go deep into the tournament.
