Australians Backing Italy For Euro 2008
TAB Sportsbet customers are backing Italy to lift the Euro 2008 tournament next month.
It may not kick-off until June 7 but punters are already trying to decide who will be the winners and losers at the prestigious event.While some may fancy the ice-cool Germans to prevail, Australian football fans don't see beyond Italy at this point.
The Italians are way out in front when it comes to money invested in a potential winner.
Glenn Munsie, TAB Sportsbet media manager said: "They (Italy) have had almost 50 per cent more than the rest.
"Croatia are next at $12 with Greece third at $21."
But for those wanting to put their money on a potential dark horse at Euro 2008, it seems there is a popular choice there too.
Glenn said: "Russia fits into that category. I think people look at the job Guus Hiddink does when in charge of an international side."
Germany are proving a popular side in the betting stakes to win their Euro 2008 group.
TAB Sportsbet is also offering odds on making the final, semi-finalists and quarter-finalists at this stage.
