    Remember, with everything in life, there's a 50 percent chance it will happen and a 50 percent chance will not, it either does or doesn't.

    So your chance is basically 50%. You can decide if you want to from that.
    You just undone everything we know about probability and statistics.

    As suggested before, it would be safer to bet on Germany beating Italy, possibly 2-1 or 3-1 as the Italians are still a good team.
    And here's why nobody should ever use the word "safe" while talking about gambling on sports.
