Well. Yesterdays predictions were more or less on the money until Croatia decided to have a meltdown. They were safe choices, but a decent return would have been had on a reasonable stake.

But onto today....

Belgium v [b]Republic of Ireland [/b](ITV)
[b]Iceland[/b] v [b]Hungary[/b] (BBC One)
Portugal v [b]Austria[/b] (BBC One)

Not quite as obvious choices as yesterday. Interesting to see if Belgium really are as bad as Wilmots is trying to make them. I have ROI in the STW sweepstake, so I may be a bit biased in predicting them the win. Thing is, if the land of waffles turns up as a team rather than a disjointed group of individuals they can blow ROI away. I am going for them underperforming again.

Iceland v Hungary is 2 underdogs going at it. Playing safe, and going for a draw. Although, it'll probably be a one niler.

Hopefully Austria remember how to play football, and can give Ronaldo Utd another fun afternoon in France.

Good luck to our Irish brothers and sisters out there, and of course good luck to everyone's new favourite second team, Iceland. Ronaldo's hate only makes out love grow stronger.

I think I'm retiring, I stuck in a tenner the other day. Yesterday I would have been fine and up a bit if they Croatians never flung those flares on the pitch, as it stands my betting career now rests on the fate of the rather lonesome looking 1 pound in my betting account!

What you want to do is sign up for a different bookies, and get some free bets.

Of the top of my head, if you're a new customer you can get:

Betstars/Betfair/PaddyPower = Deposit and make one £10 bet and get 3x£10 bets

https://freebets.uk/ has some decent info.

Obviously gambling is bad, and no-one should do it.

Great game between Iceland and hungary ..either could nick it i reckon. As for luck of the irish ..errr just no.

I think Bong must be ramping the market with his predictions 😉

That was never a penalty in a million years.

I would like to take this opportunity to announce my 4th and final retirement from gambling.

😀

Bongohoohaa - I would also like to announce my retirement from gambling. After a great start, my form has collapsed.

Mrs Binners, on the other hand, is absolutely quids in after a serious streak of apparently ridiculous bets that have all come In! She correctly called the 2 nil to Norn Ireland the other night, for example. She's actually had the good grace not to gloat either. So far...

I've got Iceland to win this, so expect a 92nd minute equilizer 😥

The only reason I am not in negative balance, is because I put £10 on England to win 2-1 at 9-1. Nearly everything else has been torpedoed by these plucky underdogs....and russia.

Euro 2016 - Home Of The Late Goal

As I was saying.... 😥

I'm just going to start betting on there being a goal in the 87th minute of every game!

That goal, like a flare, just exploded 5 bets. 🙁

Although, if Hungary score in the next 2 mins, I will win £40. Which, given as I actually need a last minute goal now, I imagine won't be forthcoming.

Edit: Of course no more goals.

Right, I'm feeling crazy, so just banged £10 on Austria to win. So am ready for Ronaldo to produce a masterclass and bang in a hattrick.

I've gone for a draw. So expect Austria to score early, and hold on to the lead until the 89th minute, then Ronnie will indeed get a hatrick in 3 minutes

Single bet on Grumpy Ron to score from outside the box.

I reckon he'll at least have a couple of freekicks, and a few other chances.

Just had a punt on a Portugal player being sent off, if they carry on being frustrated like this. A few are getting pretty wound up already. And Pepe is always good for an elbow in the head, or a 2 footed studs up challenge

Austria really don't look like scoring.

At this rate I will have to retire from gambling for a 5th time 🙁

Austria were touted as the dark horses of the tournament.

Turns out they're just shit. Can't even give me one measly goal.

Talking about shit, Pepe gets away with some.

Ronaldo is in Bumgardener's pocket.

Edit: **** SAKE AUSTRIA! STOP BEING A TEAM OF RAHEEM STERLINGS!

Edit 2: Oh **** it. I am done.

*turns off tv*

I'd like to announce I am retiring from gambling for the 5th, and possibly final, time.

News in from the Euro 2016 bus parking team. To avoid damage to the team buses when playing Portugal, we recommend you park them in front of the goals, as that seems to be the bit they can't hit.

Heh.

I don't know why I think Austria will score. They're playing for a draw all day long.
