With such a large and prestigious European tournament, oddsmakers and sportsbooks offer plenty of soccer betting opportunities and Euro soccer betting odds on each match throughout the month-long event.

First, let’s look at some popular Euro betting options, and where we can place our wagers for the UEFA Euros 2028.

Euro Cup Moneyline

While the usual wager in soccer is a three-way moneyline, we are only going to outline the regular moneyline betting type, as many sportsbooks won’t offer the draw option for the European Championship – as there needs to be a winner of each game.

It depends on the sportsbook you use – they could offer a draw option at the end of the 90-minute regular time. This would be so highly unlikely and the soccer odds would be high, we aren’t certain it would be a good bet to place – hence why we are sticking with the two team moneyline.

You will see your two moneyline options – both teams playing in the game: the favored team and underdog. Your job is to decide which team will win the game straight up.

Here’s an example of a moneyline – we’ll use the 2020 European Championship final:

• England -225
• Italy +165

England is favored to win this match, and Italy is the underdog. Since this game happened in the past and we know that Italy won the game, if you placed a $225 wager on England, you would have lost $100 plus your initial stake. Since the underdog, Italy, won and you bet $100 on them, you would have won $165 plus your initial stake.

World Cup Spread Betting

Spreads are popular when betting on any pro sport, and in soccer, they’re commonly called goal line bets, not point spreads because soccer tracks goals instead of points.

A common Euro Cup spread you may see is -1.5/+1.5, which means that the oddsmakers are giving the underdog a head start before the game even begins. This means that the underdog needs to win the game or lose by less than one goal, and the favored team will need to win by one or more goals.

If we use the same teams as above, and the Euro Cup Final spread looked like this:

• England -225
• Italy +165

If you bet on England, they would need to win by two goals for your bet to cash (which they didn’t in 2020 final). If you bet on Italy, they would need to win the game by any amount or lose by less than 1 goal.

Over/Under or Totals Betting

Totals betting during the Euros is just like betting on any other sport. You will be betting on whether you think the combined total score for both teams will be higher or lower than the sportsbook’s set line.

The difference between soccer and other professional sports is that totals are shown in multiples of .25 – you may see totals of 2.5, 2.75, 3.0, etc.

If the 2020 Euro Cup total was set at 2.5, the under would have cashed as the final score was 1-0.

Euro Cup Futures

Long before the tournament, even years in advance, futures are released on many sportsbooks. Euro Cup futures are betting options that allow you to place a wager on a team to win the tournament outright, years, or months in advance.

Usually, the previous year’s winner sits at the top of the Euros oddsboard until we get into the qualification round. The issue with having the tournament every four years is that you never get the same team at the tournament twice, so teams perform differently in each Euros tournament, with only one instance of a team winning back-to-back years.

It’s always possible to cash out Euro bets at any point before your chosen team gets eliminated because you’re betting so far in advance, it’s difficult to determine how a team might perform. If you change your mind on your chosen team, you can cash out your bet – you likely won’t get your full stake back but it’s good to save some of your wagers.

Euro Cup Prop Bets

There are a few props or proposition bets you can place on the Euro Cup games, as sportsbooks will not hesitate to create plenty of extra Euro online betting opportunities during such a high-profile event. Props are fun wagers placed on instances in the game that have nothing to do with the final outcome or score.

Some examples of props we might see during the tournament could include a mix of over/under style wagers, or yes or no questions, just to name a few. Many will be associated with a player or game.

You may see prop bets for Euro games like this:

• Harry Kane 2 Goals vs Serbia +180
• Poland over Austria & both teams score +330
• Will Spain be eliminated from the tournament and in what round?
