Messi has not been great though has he? Well, not since I joined the game, which was just about 68 minutes in. He's had two chances at least now to level up and he's ****ed them both up. Have to give credit to France though.

The reason why that works out to be profitable (in the long run) casino is they collect on both sides if there’s a tie at the end of regulation. If the gambler bets on both sides he’s essentially betting against a draw.

Short answer France was favored by a fairly small margin. About 20%.
They're pretty **** odds aren't they? I would have figured maybe 100-1 on France or something.
