Euro 2012 and My Soccer Betting

The 4-years-once European Soccer 2012 has finally kicked off.
Like the World Cup 2 years ago, this is time of the year for soccer betting.

I don't usually bet on soccer.
I will just "play for fun" during major tournaments like the World Cup and European Cup.

I have an "odd" habit for my soccer betting. People around me tend to bet on ANY team which they think will help them to win MONEY.

Not that I don't want to win money, but I have a second consideration - favourite and supported teams. I'm an England fan, by the way.

For example during the last World Cup, in one of the matches involving England as the underdogs, many who like England but condemned them on this occasion and bet on the other team in the hope of higher chance of winning.

To me, watching the soccer competition with added enjoyment of mild betting bring lots of joy during this time.

So, if I were to bet on England loss but win money in the end, I would have lost half the joy. Of course, I'm happy to win money.

So, what do I do in this case?
Yes, I would bet on England on the "give 1/2 ball" by the opponent!
