Besides, if they won the odd game here and there this wouldnt be such a problem.
The betters (is this a word? The people who place bets, gamblers?) knew last time and the odds are about the same this time. If I was a betting man, I'd put money on 2-2. I'm still hoping Spain win 2-0 or 3-0 but I'm certainly not very optomistic.

The bookies had been offering the 2-2 scoreline between Denmark and Sweden at odds of just 7/2, the shortest odds they have ever quoted for that outcome in a competitive match. Mr Sharpe added: "Whatever price we put up was snapped up by punters desperate to back that outcome and we soon had to shorten the odds to 7/2, the shortest price we have ever offered about a 2-2 draw."
