Check out our Euro 2008 Soccer coverage including live Euro 2008 Soccer Odds as well as winning Euro 2008 Soccer Picks

Euro 2008 begins on June 7. Group play begins on that Saturday and runs through Wednesday, June 18. There will be two matches each day through this time, and we will have at least one prediction every match day and possibly two or three Euro soccer picks per day depending on the current Euro Soccer Odds and totals for those specific matchups.

The elimination round and quarterfinals will run on June 19, 20, 21 and 22. Once the four semifinalists are determined, those matches start back up on Wednesday, June 25 and Thursday June 26. Two more off days and then the final will be played on Sunday, June 29.

Betting on soccer is fairly simple and here's a good formula to follow with our Euro 2008 soccer picks. The easiest wager is on the side of the team you think is going to win, just like MLB betting - read more about money line betting here. Also like baseball, there is the option for goal line wagers, either laying multiple goals for heavier favorites or taking several goals from a big underdog. The one part of soccer wagers to note is that only regulation and added time count with most sportsbooks. You can wager on a draw, but if you bet a particular side and game ends in a draw, you lose the bet. If the game advances to extra time or overtime, or even penalty kicks, the side bet or total is graded as a loss. Only what happens in regulation and added time goes towards all bets either side or total.

Our 2008 Euro soccer picks will have a basic unit system that will be 1-4 units. We'll also have a 5 or 6 unit Euro 2008 Game of the Year, but beyond that all other Euro Soccer Predictions will between those initial values. During the month long World Cup tournament back in 2006 we hit winners at a 71 percent clip, cashing our Tournament Game of the Year behind eventual champions Italy and banked dime bettors $18,200 in the process.
