As the 7/2 favorites, England must navigate the weight of pre-tournament expectations as punters place their hopes on a monumental triumph. However, the competition is far from one-sided. France stands as the 4/1 second-favorite, gathering 16.6% of bets placed on winning the tournament outright.

According to a recent survey, four standout players are expected to vie for the UEFA Player of the Tournament title, but some surprising names are also attracting bets beyond the top contenders.

England’s star, Jude Bellingham, received the highest number of survey votes, with 20% of fans confident in his 9/1 odds to be named the tournament’s best player. His future Real Madrid teammate, Kylian Mbappe, is the second most favored in the survey and is the bookmakers’ favorite at 13/2 odds, backed by 15.2% of bets.

When it comes to bets placed, Kylian Mbappe is closely followed by Germany’s Toni Kroos, with only a 0.2% difference. Kroos, planning to retire after the tournament, is supported by bettors at 16/1 odds for a victorious finale.

It could be that top players face higher expectations, but fans aren’t convinced by Cristiano Ronaldo and Harry Kane. Along with these two prolific European forwards, Kylian Mbappe, Bruno Fernandes, and Jude Bellingham are also being seen as overrated before the tournament begins.

However, in contrast to the survey, punters have Mbappe, Kane, and Ronaldo among the top four most supported for the Top Goalscorer title. Mbappe is the favorite for the tournament at 9/2 odds, and he’s the most backed by bettors, accounting for 26.5% of bets placed.

England’s captain Kane has 13.2% of bets supporting his 11/2 odds as the second favorite for the golden boot. Ronaldo, with 12/1 odds, is the fourth most backed with 8.8% of bets, just behind Belgium’s Romelu Lukaku at 14/1, who has 8.9% of the bets.

Despite 4% of survey respondents considering Jude Bellingham overrated, 2.8% of bets are still on his 20/1 odds to be the top scorer. Germany’s Kai Havertz has 4.9% of bets backing his 28/1 odds for a hometown triumph.

Phil Foden (25/1), Niclas Fullkrug (33/1), Artem Dovbyk (50/1), and Bruno Fernandes (40/1) all have less than 5% of bets placed on them to be crowned Euro 2024’s Top Goalscorer.

Prize values displayed are exclusive of any tax deductions (where applicable).

Using Bet Credits

Bet Credits will be paid to your Bet Credits balance once your Group Stage predictions are confirmed as correct and once the result of the final fixture is known.

Your Bet Credits are non-withdrawable. Any returns from Bet Credits stakes will be added to your Withdrawable Balance but Bet Credits stakes are not included in any returns. For example, a £10 bet placed at odds of 2/1 (3.00) would give a return of £30 (£20 winnings plus £10 stake), whereas a £10 Bet Credits stake placed at odds of 2/1 (3.00) would give a net return of £20, as the £10 Bet Credits stake is not returned.

Stakes can be funded in part by your Bet Credits and part with your Withdrawable Balance; however the Bet Credits element of the stake will not be included in any returns. For example, a £10 bet placed at odds of 2/1 (3.00) which was funded by £5 Bet Credits and £5 cash would give a net return of £25 (£20 winnings plus £5 cash stake) as the £5 Bet Credits stake would not be returned. If a bet is void and has had an opportunity to win (for example, in the event of a push), Bet Credits stakes will not be returned. If a bet is void and has not had an opportunity to win (for example, when a Goalscorer bet is placed on a player who does not then take part in the match), Bet Credits stakes will be returned.

Your Bet Credits will expire 7 days after they are added to your Bet Credits balance. If additional Bet Credits are added to your Bet Credits balance within this 7 day period, the total Bet Credits balance will expire 7 days after the last addition.
