Was looking at the odds for all the games and only two games are above +300.Seems to me the bookies are thinking possibly some draws(below).
With 24 matches in group play you would have to hit 7 with avg odds of 2.43 to break even.So basically 8 is the magic number.Since 1996 when Euro went to 16 teams here are how many draws in group games and how many in knockouts out of 31 games.
1996..7(4)
2000..4(1)
2004..6(2)
2008..3(2)
So looks like that only in one year that you would have made a profit if you include knockout round(1996)...So the question is..are we due?
This is meaningless but group C has had the most draws since 1996.9 out of 24 matches..
