You are right ogiso but this is a soccer forum so to avoid technicalities I just gave the FAIR odds. The book makers odds have that cost built in them. As for my own betting, I am still smarting from betting big on England not making the second stage of the 2002 world cup. It was an indirect bet on Nigeria qualifying. I made that bet despite the Amodo-Onigbinde drama. Even today as I watch Nigeria's games I think they played well. It could easily have turned out different in that group.
