STARSTATZ on SOCCER - EURO CHAMPIONSHIPS - MATCHES ON 23/24 JUNE 2012

It was a bonanza night for STARSTATZ on SOCCER as both bets collected at odds of $1.75 each. I reckon this will be the last match in the tournamen where teams will successfully clear the hurdle of the 1.5 goals handicap with ease. At this stage there are no easy games left. As predicted confidently the Germans will win this tournament and I suggest to get good odds now on them to win this tournament at $2.60 (drop from opening at $3.60) as Finals are notorious (add fuel to conspiracy theory for producing draws at 90 minutes once every 2 years for major tournaments no matter how superior are the favorites My ROI now stands proudly at a modest at 5.69%(investment of $5030 and returns of $5316)profit after the debacle of the Russian ouster at the hands of the Greeks but a good investor will recover from mistakes and the lessons learnt when making those errors of judgement. WIN or LOSE(I did have a bad start and lost on my 2 opening games!) I am back in form with a perfect score on all bet types and I hope to replicate my form when Italy won the World Cup a few years back when I tipped the last 8 matches correctly and made only one mistake on the half-time/full time score. It wont be easy and if I falter I reckon its is going to be this game of SPAIN VS FRANCE where a DRAW at 90 minutes is a possibility with 3 Tipsters from The Newpaper have tipped a DRAW but I expect a cagey cautious 1st half and even the smart money  supports this theory with the DRAW/HOME drifting from $4.60 to $3.80 while the HOME/HOME has gone from $2.80 to $2.85 and the shortest odds on exact score has  a 2-1 victory to Spain as the most supported position at odds of $5.50 from a high of $7.50....let's see if this "SMART MONEY" theory pans out as an interesting pointer on the result.
I am less confident of this result than the England vs Italy game and will reduce my bets slightly. All along I have supported this theory that to win at soccer investments you are not obliged to bet evenly as some games are more confident than others as most good tipsters will get 50-60% of the match result correct and if you bet evenly the winnings are negligible and your result would have been worst if you started betting on the 1st matches without a grasp on the current form of the various teams.
 HORSE RACING investments , SOCCER investments  and STOCK EXCHANGE analysis are quite similar but are still not recognised as such and the 1st two has the unsavoury taint of "GAMBLING"
It all involves hard work with good research, a good and proven methdology of analysis and going against the market trends when you are confident and a creative mind to dilligently collect and analyse the data or you must have learnt the ropes from a great master ( which I have the privelege to enjoy in the field of horseracing under a wise and benevolent and patient  Master))and constantly improve and strive to upgrade your knowledge through further reading and research! Finally add a dash of Good Luck as well!
SPAIN vs  FRANCE... take $200 on SPAIN to WIN on the (1X 2) at odds of $1.73
and $50 on the DRAW/HOME OR DRAW/SPAIN  at odds of $3.80
ENGLAND vs ITALY....$300 on DRAW at odds of $2.80 (drifted from $3.00)
also take $100 DRAW/DRAW at odds of $4.00 (drop from $4.40)
Take a cue from the England camp...the Manager has already prepared for an outcome after 90 minutes and devoted extra training on penalty kicks.
If the England defence can handle the French attack (I consider the Italian attack very boring...lacking in inventiveness  and lack lustre). Both teams will be cautious not deploying their players to attack in numbers and the shortest odds on 1-1 at $5.50 indicate this result and the sterile  0-0 is at $6.50....This is probably the shortest odds for a DRAW dipping below the $3.00 mark for the 1st time since the Tournament started. Let's hope LADY LUCK continues to smile on us and do look out for my STARSTATZ RACING and 7naps where Gingerbread Man will have the rest for toast with only ATO putting up some minor resistance for the shoo-in bet of the day in Race 8 on Sunday.
By the way the Singapore Pools counters close at 10.00pm daily and if you must place a last minute bet you can do so at the Livewire counters at Marina Bay Sands and Resorts World at Sentosa....or buy a Betting card at $50 or $100 denominations(maybe bigger amounts also available for last minute phone betting. At the 2 Livewire outlets you can bet "live " up to 80 minutes into the match !
