Euro 2012 Top Goalscorer Free Bet From Ladbrokes

 It appears as though the bookmakers are expecting a straight shootout between Mario Gomez and Robin Van Persie for the top goalscorer honours at the upcoming Euro 2012 competition which kicks off in just three days time. It's always a very competitive market and this year's contest is no exception. The strategy for competitions like this is to keep your eye peeled on the lower ranked teams with a player who may stand out or see the bulk of the attack going through him.

The especially tricky part of wagering on top tournament goalscorer at Euro 2012 is when you have that random one-sided affair that sees one team beat the other 5-1 with a single player scoring four goals. This is the type of thing that can dramatically tilt the wagering for markets like this and sometimes the winning player doesn't even see their way further into the competition simply on the back of one or two good matches and the tournament winning side having a number of different goalscorers.

Selecting the winner for this market should see punters looking for factors like: being an automatic starter, team having a reasonable chance of making the quarters or semis, the player being a focal point in the attack or the side having one or two very vulnerable-looking opponents.

Ladbrokes is offering up each-way betting of 1/4 odds on the top four finishers. This brings several other types of players into the mix as well – you'll see some midfielders, wingers and high-odds selections competing for those third and fourth spots so there is plenty of value on offer if you can get the balance right on these outside selections.

You'll find odds as high as 200/1 on players like Samaras and, on an each way bet, that's still in the neighbourhood of 50/1 if he finishes in the top four. While Samaras likely won't get near the top 10, it's these types of outside players you want to keep your eye on. Greece does know a thing or two about winning tournaments.

High-profile Portugal player Cristiano Ronaldo is priced at 12/1 for the top tournament goalscorer bet while Miroslav Klose, Fernando Torres, Karim Benzema and Fernando Llorente are all trading at a 14/1 listing.

David Silva is priced at 33/1 alongside Wayne Rooney, while Antonio Cassano can be backed at 20/1. Mario Balotelli is certain to figure in this and he could be auditioning for a variety of sides across Europe in this tournament.

If you fancy France to do well, an each-way bet on Samir Nasri at 66/1 isn't a bad idea while Germany's Mario Gotze also looks like an ideal choice at a hefty 100/1 price tag.
