Cashing in £50 free bet
Tonight marked the finale of group C, better known throughout this tournament as the group of death. I used the occasion to cash in my £50 free bet that I had earned over the last week by placing five £10 bets. The free bet went on France to win against Italy, and to ensure I couldn’t lose and offsetting lay bet went against France at Betfair. The possible outcomes were:
| Betfair | Bookmaker | Total | |
| France win | -£59.13 | £90 | £30.87 |
| Draw/Italy win | £30.87 | Free bet | £30.87 |
France started the day badly when their Coach crashed on the way to the ground and the evening never got any better for them from that moment on. Conceding a penalty and going down to 10 men effectively ended their interest in the tournament there and then. Fortunately for me the result didn’t matter as I stood to win £30.87 whatever the result.
In the other game tonight Romania lost to Holland, so Italy escaped the group of death and move on to the last eight.
