Euro 2016 comes to a close Sunday afternoon as host France takes on Portugal for a 3 p.m. start (eastern time) on TSN.
France was the tournament co-favourites at the beginning of Euro 2016 and is a significant favourite to dash the Portuguese dreams.
Portugal, however, has proven to be a tough out. They’ve made it this far despite winning just 2 of their 6 games in regulation time, and they’re coming off a solid 2-0 win over Wales in the semifinals.
Here’s where you can find the best Euro 2016 odds for five things you might want to bet in the championship match.
(Odds as of 1 p.m. eastern Saturday, July 9)
1. Best Odds on France
France pays +110 to win in regulation time at practically all of the best sportsbooks we recommend to Canadians. If you take France, you need them to win the game in the first 90 minutes (plus injury time). If the game goes to extra time, you’ll lose.
Instead of taking France to win in regulation, you could simply bet on them to hoist the trophy – which also includes extra time and penalty kicks, if necessary. The best odds on that were at www.Pinnacle.com and www.SportsInteraction.com, both of which were offering that bet at -200 odds. Other books were listing that at -225 as of Saturday afternoon.
2. Best Odds on Portugal
Portugal is 3.5 to 1 (+350) to win the Euro 2016 final in regulation.
Bodog’s odds on Portugal aren’t quite as good, paying +320. And you definitely won’t want to bet on Portugal at Sports Interaction, since they were paying just +250 odds.
To lift the trophy, Portugal pays in the +185 range at all of those sportsbooks except for Sports Interaction, which was offering +162.
3. Best Odds On Draw
Sports Interaction has consistently offered the best odds on draws throughout the Euro 2016 tournament, and that trend continues in the final. SIA is listing the draw at +220 odds.
Bodog was close behind at +215, with Pinnacle and William Hill in the +210 range.
4. Best Odds On Ronaldo To Score
We’ll include this prop, since it will be a popular bet. Ronaldo always seems to come up big when the chips are down, and we’ll expect nothing less on Sunday.
Pinnacle is by far the best sportsbook to make this bet at. They offer a fat +239 on Ronaldo to score a goal, while Bodog, Sports Interaction, William Hill are offering around +165. That’s approximately 50% better payout at Pinnacle.
5. Best Odds on Griezmann To Score
Since we’re listing Ronaldo to score, it’s only fair that we list the odds on a Frenchman as well. Antoine Griezmann is the leading scorer of the tournament and is the most likely French player to score a goal in Sunday’s final.
Once again, Pinnacle is your choice for this bet, offering the same +239 for Griezmann that they listed for Ronaldo. The other sportbooks are offering +160 or so on that prop – again, nearly identical to the Ronaldo odds.
