"We'd like a low-scoring draw, please. I know I sound like a broken record, but it's the world we live in," BetMGM trading manager Tristan Davis said, noting the book ultimately wants the underdog to advance. "Like Thursday with France and Morocco, Spain and Belgium are on different scales in terms of futures liability, with Belgium being one of our best results."
BetMGM’s total is at 2.5 (Over -135), after opening at 2.5 (Over -125). The Over is taking 59% of bets and 76% of money.
In player props, Spain’s Lamine Yamal and Mikel Oyarzabal are quite popular as well. In the anytime goal scorer market, both Yamal (+150) and Oyarzabal (+120) are attracting five times more bets than any other player.
