I noticed that afterward. It worries me somewhat. Well, it's only a silly bet.

At some point will machine made legs be legal, machine made hips, machine made knees in world cup?
Seems difficult, unless the contact lenses can zoom in somehow. Focus and resolution are not the same thing.

I used the midpoint from the Betfair exchange, using the sportsbook odds will overestimate the probability due to Betfair's mark-up.

Brazil, most passion, most home field advantage. ( See flop in game one)

{the question was: where do you draw the line between theoretical and real odds?}

No one of these teams will be World Champion this time to 99,9% >>> not the mathematical odds but with common sense.
Australia, South Korea, Cameroon, Japan, Nigeria, Iran,, Ghana, Honduras, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Ivory Coast, Algeria, Bosnia, USA, Switzerland...
I dont know what is the addition of their odds but its doesent matter in the real football life.
Leicester City are about to become champions from 2500-1 odds. Sorry I don't want to make a big point out of this, but it's just fun to read The Guardian's preview and the comments under it:

Hoffenheim can happen everywhere in europeans football leagues. Leicester is only another example of it. In 3-4 years nobody will talk about them.

All these comparsions fail because english teams with low standings( like Leicester before ) have by far better financial possibilities as the german with the same standings. The spread between german and english tv money is enormous

Yeah, this is the equivalent of Getafe or Eibar winning la liga.
Now we'll see if Gary Lineker (who was a Leicester legend before he went on to Everton, Barcelona and Spurs) makes good on his somewhat rash promise to present the first highlights show or the new season in his underpants if Leicester won.

Clearly the fans who support Fifa with their money do not demand its destruction. They allow the criminals to continue. They just do not care that much! It is up to the fans to destroy or allow Fifa to continue.

As who or what should replace FiFa....let the free market decide...let millions upon tens of millions decide... that is the free market; perhaps one something or ten somethings replace Fifa
not a King ...not you.
