Holland's 3-0 victory over world champions Italy lowers the team's odds of winning Euro 2008, sports betting fans may be interested to hear.
Marco van Basten's Holland made a dream start to their Euro 2008 campaign last night, beating world champions Italy 3-0 and potentially alerting sports betting fans to their tournament-winning potential in the process.Although they have only won one major competition in their history, the Dutch have been made 5/1 joint-second favourites by 888Sport.com to win this month's international showpiece in Austria and Switzerland after last night's superb display.
Goals from Ruud van Nistelrooy, Wesley Sneijder and Giovanni van Bronckhorst, which involved two assists from Liverpool's Dirk Kuyt, sealed the victory for the 1988 European Championship winners.
Van Nistelrooy, who could have netted a hat-trick last night, is now 6/1 to be the competition's top scorer.
Holland take on Romania and France in their next two Group C matches. A win against the Romanians next week would secure the team's passage through to the quarter-finals with one game to spare.
