“Bear Bets” are real wagers that Chris “The Bear” Fallica is actually making.
Tournament record (1-0)
After winning our first bet in the opening match of the Euros, we are back for a loaded Saturday slate of games, headlined by Croatia vs. Spain.
As for gambling on these matches, I’ll give you my best bets throughout the tournament. Basically, if I see an edge, and I’m betting on it, I’ll share it. I want us all to win!
I believe in transparency, so I’ll be sharing my tournament best bets record over the next several weeks.
Remember, only bet what you are comfortable with! So let’s go ahead and dive into the fun.
I’m not as high on Hungary here as most people. Yes, they have Dominik Szoboszlai, but the Swiss can be tough to break down.
I wouldn’t be shocked if this ended 0-0, but 1-0 Switzerland feels right, despite their struggling in qualifying.
PICK: Both teams to score (BTTS): No -110
Croatia certainly has had incredible success on the international stage, but they are getting a bit older and can elder players like Luka Modric stand up to the depth and talent of Spain? Spain has had trouble finishing in the past, and they’ve seemingly addressed that by adding younger players like Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal. While they may not start, they would be very dangerous subs against tired Croatian legs and it also provides a bit of motivation for guys like Ferran Torres, Alvaro Morata and Joselu to know their minutes could be in jeopardy.
Spain is a big threat to win this tournament. Look for them to score 2 or more goals and win this game.
PICK: Spain Over 1.5 goals (+110)PICK: Spain to win (-110)
I’m sure everyone will be expecting Italy to keep a clean sheet here, but I’d expect the Azzurri to be a little more forward thinking here being they have Croatia and Spain coming up in the group. Might people be sleeping some on the holders entering this tournament? This match is where you need to score and help that goal differential.
Albania may not score, but the better price — albeit more of a risk — is to take Italy to win by multiple goals.
PICK: Italy -1.5 (+105)
