European Handball Championship-And sports betting.

[S93]

Not sure if there are any handball fans here but figured id check.

Group stage starting tomorow and some interesting matches straight away and as allways some money to be made by betting.

Denmark - Austria
Denmark are a better team in every postion but there beeing spread at
1.13 its hardly worth a bet.
On the other hand austria are playing at home so betting on upset with 11.5(Austria win) or 15.5 on a draw could be worth it.

Russia - Ukraine
Russia have been bad in recent years but the Ukraine is missing Shelmenko so id take Russia to win this but its much closer then the bookies make it out to be (around 1.16 for Russia but a massive 6.8 for the Ukraine)

Spain - Czech Republic
Spain and not even close.

Germany - Poland
germany been bad in the last few games but there still one of the best around so id but my money here, epecialy seeing as there underdogs at 2.54.

Croatia - Norway
Croatia should take this but with norway at 4.5 it might be worth going for a upset.

Iceland - Serbia
Iceland at 1.80 is the save bet imo.Serbia at 2.64, draw 9.4.
Might be worth looking at a draw but im def putting my money on Iceland .

France - Hungary
No contest france are the best in the world and geting spread acordingly.
Id stay away since there isnt much money to maked.

Sweden - Slovenia
sweden should take this but Slovenia have a good side and with the current spread any bet is decent imo.



France have to be massive favorites but u cant really get a good bet on them winning out right since there such big favorites.

Denmark are overrated at 6.6 to win the whole thing.

The "best" bets to win it considering the spread is probably Croatia,Spain,Poland,Iceland,Sweden and Norway since there geting pretty decent odds.

No one here cares but w/e.
France won as was expected becoming the first team to hold the Olympic,world and european championships at the same time,Croatia where second,Iceland 3rd and Poland 4th.

Germany and Sweden where hugely disapointing and i maked some money betting.

I do care but was rather shocked by the german performance.

Always seemed to have a 15 min koma every game.

Poland wasn't bad in the first round imo.

 

[S93]

If Germany doesnt stop counting so much on the useless Glendorf this is whats coming in the future imo.

The fact that the Bundusliga is the strongest league in the world doesnt help germany either, its similar to the English NT and the premier league.
Just look at the top 4 teams in the championship, most of the top players play in the bundusliga witch means younger players get a chance in there home leagues...

 

[Worak]

I don't think Glarendorf is that useless - but they need to improve their attack tactics.

Seemed to always be in a hurry and tried too many shots from 2nd row without proper preparation/blocking.

The rest I do concur.

Team Handball - I got to see Sweden play Iceland in the 1984 Olympics. This was an off afternoon for me (no boxing or wrestling) and this match was the only thing I could get tickets to.
