Mr Accumulator Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Sportingbet go 5/6 (1.83) over or under 130.5 seconds for the time of the fastest goal scored in the whole of Euro 2008 . Now at first i fancied the overs just because i saw it as a good interest bet that could last the whole tourny with a bit of luck . All i have to do is watch the 1st 2mins of games and hope for no goal , sounds easy . Now i researched it last night a little (i say a little coz theres not much to read up on ,from what i couold find anyway) and i was pleased with what i found .......... There have been 14 european championships since it began in 1958 (russia) and theres only been 3 goals scored under 3 mins !!! And 1 of those was Michael Owens goal for England vs Portugal after 2mins 34 secs ,so even that wouldnt count for this bet . Ive no idea what the times were for the fastest 2 goals , i cant find it anywhere ,But i did read that Owens was the 3rd fastest ever goal in the european championhips history, but lets say both were under 130.5 secs , that equates to 2 goals scored under 130.5 secs in 14 events making the 10/11 a pretty decent bet to me . Fastest goal of Euro 2008 - OVER 130.5 secs @ 10/11 Sportingbet :hope Cheers all Mr A :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Re: CORKER of a bet - Fastest goal in tourny !!! Dont forget there are (presumably) more games now with 16 teams than there were for the majority of European Championships with 8 teams.... (not saying that makes it a bad bet - just dont forget to consider it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAULM03 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Re: CORKER of a bet - Fastest goal in tourny !!! Still sounds nuts though. I wonder what the proportion of games is where a goal is scored within 2 mins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F. Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Re: CORKER of a bet - Fastest goal in tourny !!! The bookie's logic for this bet is based on averages: 130.5 sec X 31 matches = 67.5 minutes. So basically you're betting that there won't be any goals during almost 70 minutes, and that isn't such a good bet. However, the first 5 minutes of a match don't have as many goals as other periods of the match and that should play on your favor. Good luck with your bet, F.

Mr Accumulator Posted June 13, 2008 Author Share Posted June 13, 2008 Re: CORKER of a bet - Fastest goal in tourny !!! 12 down ,19 to go ............ Yes F i thought that , theyre betting that its 67 minutes and not the 1st 2 mins of every game ,as its very true a goal can be scored at any second of a game . But there are indeed very few goals in the first 2mins of games ,especially big internationals with so much at stake . There may well be a goal , but as of yet theres been nothing even resembling a shot in anger in 12 games (Ive done it now havent i , lol!!!) cheers Mr A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
