You can already gamble on who’s going to be the next president of FIFA, you degenerates! The odds are out for the FIFA presidential election, and Prince Ali bin Hussein is unsurprisingly the favorite. However, he’s not on to by himself -- UEFA President Michel Platini is co-favorite. They both have 3-2 odds:

— Bovada Official (@BovadaLV) June 2, 2015 Platini said that he would never run against Sepp Blatter, who resigned on Tuesday, but will be encouraged to run for the position now that Blatter is gone. Coming in with the third-best odds is legendary player Luis Figo, who ran against Blatter in the last election before dropping out, saying that the process was not actually democratic.
The co-fourth favorites are two names that were not mentioned in the last election, Senes Erzik and Ted Howard. Erzik is a UEFA vice-president, FIFA executive committee member and the honorary president of the Turkish Football Federation. Howard is the deputy general secretary of CONCACAF.
English FA President Greg Dyke, who has been highly critical of Sepp Blatter and FIFA, is mostly included as a joke with 100-1 odds.
