Now that the business end of the World Cup is very definitely upon us - things have getting serious and reputations are on the line.
A lucky few still harbour hopes of sweepstake glory, but for everyone the dream of wringing some proper cash out of this festival is still well and truly alive.
We are not ones to step back from our responsibilities and have put the remains of all the magical predicting animals of the past into a massive smoothie maker (Paul the Octopus chose to donate his body for this purpose) and given to our in-house betting fanatic - let's call him the Sure Thing.
In the other corner, we have a more measured and cynical statistician - let's call him Billy Beane.
So thanks to the lads at Betpack, we can finally settle an old score, and see who comes out the winner. The cool-headed, bespectacled rationalist, with his almost robotic reliance on statistics or the guy who backs what his heart tells him, who relies on his intuition, his knee-jerk hunches and what he feels in his water.
