I haven't bet on sports in almost two years and decided to make a little parley for the world cup, I had Spain and Brazil playing in the final match. Both got eliminated by huge underdogs.

This is exactly why I stopped betting on sports, It's way to unpredictable. The Brazil-Belgium game could've easily went in Brazil's favor. Some times it's not just who is the more talented team but who wants it more and who can capitalize on those lucky moments.

I don't know if you're familiar with American football but super bowl 42 was played by "the greatest team ever" the 2007 Patriots who were undefeated that season and scored more points than any other team in the history of the NFL. They played against the NY Giants, who barely made it into the playoffs and were underdogs by 14 points, which is the second biggest spread in super bowl history. The Giants held the highest scoring team to only 14 points and on the game winning drive David Tyree (a 3rd string wide receiver) caught a 40 yard pass off his helmet and the Giants scored the game winning TD two plays later.

It's luck and determination.

Watching this play still gives me goosebumps.
