I dont't know if it is a bit of arbitrage on the Italy game. I'll go double check the best prices. Italy are 2.38 with Betdirect. Israel are 3.75 with Skybet. the draw is 3.25 with Bet365 and others) shit here's the hard bit. I can't do decimals. Anyone know if you can make a profit by backing all 3?

can't be much , the way I do it is

share £10 like this
£4.22 x 2.38 = £10.04
£2.69 x 3.75 =£10.08
£3.09 x 3.25= £10.04

a draw would be great

Thanks Traeth. So the max that you can win for 10 pound is 8p and the least you can win is 4p? 100 pounds gives you 80p profit and 1000 for 8 pounds. it aint much is it

Finland v Austria could be a close game, Austria dominated the first game but were unable to translate their dominance into a more comfortable lead. Finland won all for home qualifying games, but were perhaps lucky to so so with three of the four games arguably being decided by penalty kicks or sending-offs. Austria were unbeaten throughout qualifying and performed very well, even away from home. Out of the two I'd be backing the Austrians if I could get a slightly bigger price than 3.20. May well back in play (depending on how it's going) but I could also be tempted by the Austrai AH(0) at 2.30.

Belarus v Turkey does take my fancy, especially with the home side available at 3.15 ( AH(0) @ 2.28 ). Belarus came through their home campaign unbeaten and only conceding twice at home, a late goal against Latvia and in drawing with a very good Serbian side. Turkey finished top of their group but struggled somewhat away from home, an own goal and a late winner against Ukraine, a late winner away to Liechtenstein and a last gasp defeat in Armenia.

Belarus AH(0) v Turkey @ 2.28 - 2 points
Finland v Austria AH(0) @ 2.30 - 2 points
