Lazerus sets odds of winning for each team then picks
winners for every game. Well done.

Did I do the numbers correctly? If so, I want to bet at his establishment! His percentages only sum to 90%? So, if I bet on _every_ team, I automatically make 10%? ;)
Looks like a nice piece, I look forward to reading it more carefully.

Now we know why Mark chose to be a writer and not a bookmaker, the numbers just don't seem to work. Check me but we seem to have over a 106% chance of one of these 10 teams winning.
