Visit http://betting.betfair.com/football/euro-2008/">http://betting.betfair.com/football/euro-2008/">http://betting.betfair.com/football/euro-2008/ for all the knowledge, insight and stats you'll need for your Euro 2008 betting, courtesy of betting.betfair.com's all-star editorial team.

There's not too long to go now until the start of Euro 2008 and we here at betting.betfair.com want you to enjoy the tournament as much as possible. Furthermore, we want you to be equipped with all the necessary tools to make the best betting choices possible.

Whether it's trying to work out which team offers the best value to lift the trophy, whose name is a must on your top goalscorer betting portfolio or how many bookings you can expect to see dished out as Italy (with Materazzi) lock horns with France (without Zidane) in what should be the crucial clash of that must-have accessory of any major football tournament: the group of death.

That's why we've gone out and recruited a team of guys who really know what they're talking about. Eurosport's Dave Farrar will be previewing every match in the tournament and looking specifically at the match odds, first goalscorer, correct score, half-time and corners odds markets.

Those who are regular readers of the tennis and football sections of betting.betfair.com will be familiar with the work of "Magical" Matthew Walton - if finding betting value through statistical analysis is your thing then look no further: Matthew will be looking at the match odds, correct score, first goal odds and over/under 1.5 goals markets for each match.

Number-crunchers supreme StatsOn Sport will be looking at the half-time, half time/full time and clean sheets (for each) team markets and the ever dry, quirky Dan "The Betting Man" Fitch will be taking an off-beat look at each match and throwing in his views on the over/under 2.5 goals market.

Which just leaves us with the fifth piece for each match: analysis of the half time/full time, asian handicap, to score, bookings odds/bookings index markets. These will come courtesy of betting.betfair.com regulars Alister Morgan and TQ and newcomers Ben Lyttleton and Robert Hughes, late additions to the betting.betfair squad, specifically drafted in for the big one.

Ben will also be writing regular features as the tournament progresses and to round it all off we have a daily diary from our man out in Austria/Switzerland John Wilson, author of "Behind the curtain", one of the finest books ever written on the subject of eastern European football and it's evolution. Let the games begin...
