Bet on the Group of Debt at Paddypower

With qualification for Euro 2012 secured, speculation has now turned to how the boys in green will fare in ‘Polkraine’ this summer and Paddy Power has priced up a number of markets before the group draw which is to take place on December 2nd in Kiev.

At a massive 50/1 Ireland are a long-shot to win Euro 2012 but this hasn’t stopped patriotic punters weighing in behind Trapattoni’s men. Elsewhere Spain at 5/2 remain the favourites with Germany and Holland the closest of the chasing pack at 3/1 and 7/1 respectively.

It does look however that Ireland could face an uphill struggle to take Europe by storm with an exit at the group stages the most likely outcome at 4/11 followed by the Quarter finals at 3/1.

Irish eyes will be firmly fixed on next months draw in Kiev and many an Irish fan will be hoping for an opportunity to relive Euro 88’ by drawing England, the odds on such an outcome are 11/4.

Paddy Power told Bettingpro “I’m delighted that the lads have qualified, the odds look to be stacked against us but this team have been written off time and time again but continue to get results so we could be in for a few surprises.”

With many of Europe’s struggling economies reaching the finals, the internet over the past couple of days has been awash with ‘group of debt’ jokes, the odds on such a group (Spain, Italy, Greece, Ireland) been drawn are 50/1 with Paddy Power.
