Under 21 European Championships

I've been mulling over the Under 21 tournament starting in Israel today.  I couldn't find much value in the first round of group games except for in the home nation to win their first game at 11/8.  Only a small bet mind, given they haven't played a competitive game in ages.  I've also had Over 2.5 goals at 7/5.  Under 21 games seem to be bigger scoring games than usual and most bookies don't seem to have noticed.

I also had a bit on Conor Wickham to be win the golden boot e/w at 25/1.  He's in great form the U21s and history shows you probably need 3 goals to get placed.  With England being in the softer group and expected to reach the semis, and given Wickham's sensational form at U21 level, 25/1 seems huge.

P.S.  I didn't realise the kick off in the Israel game was this early.  Score is currently 1-1 with half an hour gone.  Looking good for the over.

    Next round of games.

    The first thing to say would be I think 8-1 for a home win is huge.  I know there is a bit of a difference in class between Israel and Italy and before Wednesday Israel hadn't played a competitive game in 3 years, but I like that price.  I also like the price for the draw, so I'll just go for a Israel/Draw double chance @ 2/1.

    In the other group game today I'm confident England will beat a below-par Norway team.  I like 5/6.

    Russia didn't look great the other night playing against a brilliant Spain team.  I think they are underrated going into this tournament.  I though the same about The Netherlands but they won they first game against Germany.  I like the draw @ 14/5.

    I had money on holtby E/W to be top scorer at 66/1 he has scored 14 in 22 games for under 21's that was massive value, he scored in the first game so i dont know what his odds will be now but anything over 16s would still be great value imo
