Betting on the UEFA European Championships has accounted for a little more than 1% of Weekend Wagers’ all-time profit.
That’s well above expectation considering pre-pandemic, I couldn’t have told you the difference between Zinedine Zidane and Cristiano Ronaldo. But one of the most rewarding things about this column over the years is the way it’s forced me out of my comfort zone and into learning about and trying to handicap on other sports.
Euro 2020 might as well be Exhibit A. I ended up turning about a $400 profit in the column off 15 wagers, capping with a victory on Italy in the championship game.
