Statistics are meant to be broken. Especially in sports betting 
. I learned this the hard way back in 2010. Did you know that Until 2010, every single World Cup host managed to get out of the groups to the elimination rounds? A 100% statistics for over 80 years… 18 events and every single time the host gathered enough points to be in the top 2 spots in the group.
I could bet my mother that South Africa would advance, and after all they finished 3rd and did not, breaking a tradition from almost a century ago .
