    I don't follow football so dunno if that bet is based on quality of teams in the game but stats says that wasn't as easy a bet as you'd suggest.

    Hmm that said. Digging in to the data, not winning a game against them since 2001 does swing it back in your favour I guess.

    v Belgium
    Games won: 4
    Games drawn: 3
    Games lost: 11
    Scotland national
    football
    team: record v Belgium


    What were the odds for Scotland to win?

      You can’t go back to 2001 in football

            apart from ex lovers trying to forget.

                  Only 66% probability of a Belgium win based on current wins by each team so far. Not a bet I'd be making.

                    At 23/1 I could be tempted to put a tenner on Scotland.
