UEFA Euro 2016 (Soccer) Betting
- brought to you by Lou Chance Gambling Enterprise

UEFA Euro 2016, otherwise known as the European Soccer Championships, is upon us. The Qualification rounds last summer yielded 24 teams which will compete. The competition is in two phases. In the Group Stage, each team will play all the other teams in its group. After that the knockout phase begins. The best two teams from each group and the four best teams that came in 3rd in their respective group move on to the round of 16. From then on it's knockout (Quarter Finals, Semi Finals, Finals).

So, how will betting work?

All players must sign up before the start of the tournament (June 9th at the latest) and pay a 500 Taco entrance fee which can be waived for new nations that don't have the money. This money will be placed in the overall-pot. The player who has the most correct bets at the end of the tournament will win that pot. Nations for whom the entrance fee was waived are not eligible for that.

Throughout the tournament, we will bet on the Winners of the respective games. The money that was bet on a game will be divided between those who made the correct bet. If no one has made the right bet, the money will be added to the jackpot (see below). The money you have to bet per game will vary depending on the stages of the tournament:

Group Stage: 100 Tacos per game
Round of 16: 200 Tacos per game
Quarter-Finals: 500 Tacos per game
Semi-Finals: 2000 Tacos per game
Finals: 5000 Tacos

In order to win the jackpot, you must do one of the following:
- Correctly bet on all games of one of the groups
- Correctly bet on all games of the Round of 16
- Correctly bet on all games of the Quarter Finals
- Correctly bet on all games of the Semi Finals
- Correctly bet on the Finals
You will then be paid out the jackpot as it stands after that respective round.

In the unlikely event that there is money remaining in the jackpot after the tournament has ended, that money will be invested and used to stack up jackpots in future games of this firm.

Sign-Ups are open now! Any questions may be asked in this thread.

I am in. Tacos on the way.

[Baden-Wuerttemberg]

I see Yermaney is not the only one hyped about football this time of year.

500 Taco entrance fee sent.
And I have two Lazy Gambler's Questions.
1. How much for all those games in one complete donation?
2. May the lazy gamblers set up autoplay accounts? Erm, within reason, without resorting to extravagant formulas to determine our chosen teams...

[Louisistan]

16,200 and yes, APAs are possible within reason

[Baden-Wuerttemberg]

Tacos sent, and my default bet is on first in the alphabet.

[Lou Chance Gambling Enterprise]

Your entry fee and APA bets have been registered.

Wales v. Slovakia
England v. Russia
Turkey v. Croatia
Poland v. Northern Ireland
Germany v. Ukraine
Spain v. Czech Republic
Ireland v. Sweden

How To:
Copy down the list of the above matches. Decide which team you want to bet on to win each game. Post your list of bets in this thread and send the appropriate amount of Tacos (100 Tacos for each bet) to Lou Chance Gambling Enterprise. You cannot bet on a tie.

The analysis of IDT.

I have loads of games that I would have bet draw on, however, I have followed the rules. Belgium have got Hazard, Courtois, Kompany, De Bruyne and Vertonghen, five excellent players. Although Italy have a good manager in Antonio Conte, they will lose to Belgium.

As for other decisions, I don't think Hungary stand a chance against David Alaba of Austria! England v Russia, well as an Englishman, I have to back my country, however crap they are.  

So, my predictions are questionable, you now know my reasonings.

Because one of my friends is a bookie.

[Lou Chance Gambling Enterprise]

Isles de Taylor, Barry, your bets and tacos were received.
Barry, an APA will only be invoked as long as there's money in it. So far you've only paid for the bets you already made.

[HumanSanity]

I don't know anything about soccer so I'll sit this one out. Thanks for the tag though

FIRST MATCH: France 2-1 Romania.

Hey, I'm interested in betting. Do I send the money to Lou Chance Gambling Enterprise?

[Deleted]

Oh, and whether do I have to bet on the exact scores or just the outcome (win, lose or draw)

Ordinarily, sign ups are already closed. But when I think about it, there's actually no reason for that, so yeah, you can join.

The entrance fee is 500 Tacos, send it to Lou Chance Gambling Enterprise.

Betting is on win or lose (draw means the bank wins).

The first round of the group stage is already in progress, so I won't let you bet on that. But you can start betting when I post the games for the second round, which I'll do this afternoon.


Also, I was too lazy to sign in as Lou Chance Gambling Enterprise on mobile, but this is like totally legit
