UEFA Euro 2025 Betting Sites for South African Players - Coming Soon

UEFA Euro 2024 Betting Sites for South African Players - Coming Soon

Euro 2020 is set to be one of the biggest sporting spectacles of 2021, with 24 of the best national teams from Europe competing for the most prestigious trophy on the continent. At BettingTop10, we’ll follow every kick, every goal, and every injury, with regular tips, previews, and news articles covering all the action.

To get you in the mood for watching and placing a bet on Euro 2021, take a look at this guide, as we cover the best Euro 2021 betting sites, betting markets, fixtures, and more.

There is no shortage of betting sites in South Africa providing coverage for Euro 2021. But with so many Euro 2021 betting opportunities available, how can you narrow it down and focus on only the best ones?

Sports betting odds play a big role and are one of the main things you should focus on. Generally speaking, there isn’t much of a difference between short-priced favourites across multiple sites. 3.00 is better than 2.50, but unless you’re betting large sums of money, it won’t make much of a difference.

However, Euro 2021 betting odds become very important when you’re betting on the outsiders. As an example, we compared the odds from just 2 popular football betting sites chosen at random and found one offering odds of 1.000 for the outright outsider and the other offering 2.500.

To put that into perspective, if you bet R100, it’s the difference between a return of R100,000 and R250,000. Of course, you could dismiss those odds as meaningless because the rank outsider won’t win, but that’s what many punters said about Greece in 2004 and Denmark in 1992. What’s more, the same discrepancies can be found on many other bets, with differences of 80.00 and 101.00 for former winners Denmark and 251.00/500.00 for dark horses Iceland.

And that’s just two SA betting sites chosen at random!

Bonuses also play a big role in helping you choose the best Euro 2021 betting sites. While one site may offer you little more than an accumulator refund, another could provide a big matched deposit bonus or even a free bet. These bonuses can vary greatly, but they also provide different benefits for different players.

A big matched deposit bonus is great if you’re gambling large sums of money and want a football betting site that will match you buck for buck. If, however, you’re a cautious and small stake gambler, you’ll likely prefer a free bet or a no deposit bonus.

• Group Outrights: These bets are placed during the group stage of the tournament, which precedes the knockout round. It’s like betting on multiple little leagues and means you can stake your money on the winner, the qualifiers, and the teams that won’t make it through. There are four teams in each group and these teams play three games each.
• Final Finishing Positions: Got a hunch about the final finishing position of a specific team? Think that England will win the group and then fall at the final hurdle in front of their home fans, got a good feeling that this will be France’s year? You can bet on the exact finishing position of your chosen team using these Euro 2021 betting markets.
• Match Betting Markets: The most common betting markets in South Africa are those for each individual match. Punters stake their cash on the Win/Lose/Draw market for each of the over 50 games played over the course of this tournament.
• Over/Under: The Over/Under markets are some of the most popular for individual games and for the Outright markets. These betting markets allow you to bet on whether there will be more or fewer cards, goals or corners than the handicap.

Looking for some unique Euro 2021 betting markets? Here are a few options.

• Most Cards: Which team will have the worst discipline and collect the most cards over the course of the tournament? This is a tricky bet to predict as you’re torn between betting on the big teams that will make it all the way and play the most games and the teams that may crash out early but will likely accumulate more cards per game.
• Most Goals: As with the bet for the “Most Cards”, this one allows you to wager your money on the team that will score the most goals during the group stage, knockout stage or the whole of the tournament. This is where it helps to look not just at the team’s players but also at their opponents and the defences they are likely to go up against.
• Over/Under Penalties: Will this be a tournament filled with penalties or not? As it happens, Euro 2021 will be the first European Championships to have VAR. This is likely to have a big effect, but whether it will reduce the total penalties or increase them is up to you.
• New Winner: The Euros have been won by a host of top teams over the years but there have also been a few unexpected winners. With this Euro soccer betting market, you’re tasked with wagering on whether there will be a new champion or the trophy will be reclaimed by a former winner.

There is no Bafana Bafana in sight, but you can still bet on a host of great teams. Soccer fans across South Africa will be picking their favourite teams, making their allegiances, and then placing their bets. With Outright Euro 2021 betting markets you can wager on many outcomes, including:

• Winner: Bet on the team you think will win the competition, from the favourites and joint hosts right down to the outsiders seeking their first taste of success on the biggest stage.
• Top Goalscorer: This award has gone to some of the very best players in Europe over the years. Platini holds the record for the most goals ever to be scored in a single tournament, but this accolade has also been won by the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Alan Shearer, Gerd Muller, and David Villa.
• Best Player: The top goalscorer isn’t necessarily the best player and this award has gone to many of the games’ greats. It’s often awarded to a player that makes it to the final, however, so keep this in mind when you peruse those Euro 2021 betting markets.
• Best Goalkeeper: The Golden Glove is awarded to the goalkeeper with the best performances throughout the tournament. When you consider how many talented shot-stoppers are on show (Neuer, Lloris, de Gea, ter Stegen) this is not an easy market to predict.

The best betting strategy for winning money on Euro 2021 betting markets in ZA is to stick with accumulators. These bets allow you to place small wagers and take advantage of big odds. You place fewer bets with smaller stakes, thus reducing your liability while increasing your potential profit.

The average soccer fan in ZA can predict the outcome of several games at once and the beauty of accumulators is that making such a prediction will win you considerably more than if you were to bet on those games individually.

However, it’s important not to add bets to your accumulator just to increase the return. Stick with bets you’re confident will do well and don’t add them just for the sake of it. Betting sites are littered with failed accumulators and sob stories from punters who added a “dead-cert” to their accumulator just to boost it, only for that to be the only bet that failed.

Euro 2021 will kick off on Friday, June 11th. Turkey and Italy will contest the first game in Rome and this will be followed by several games every day until the group stage ends on June 23th.

Here are some key dates to keep in mind:

• June 11 = First Game
• June 26 = Round of 16
• July 2 and July 3 = Quarter-Finals
• July 6 and July 7 = Semi-Finals
• July 11 = Final
