Bookies make it 7/4 that VAR will overrule a goal in this year's World Cup Final
The 2022 World Cup gets underway this week and bookies are giving odds on potential outcomes for the tournament.
It's 7/4 that VAR will overrule a goal in the 2022 World Cup Final this year, set to take place in Qatar on 18th December.
VAR was used in the 2018 World Cup Final where France beat Croatia 4-2 in Moscow, Russia.
France's second goal in the final came from a penalty that was awarded due to a VAR decision for handball.
VAR played a massive part in the 2018 World Cup Final and bookies go 7/4 that it will overturn a goal in this year's Final!

There were 21 total VAR reviews across the 64 2018 World Cup games
According to 'Refsix' there were 21 VAR reviews across 64 games at the 2018 World Cup with an average of 0.33 per game or 1 every 3 games.
The 2018 World Cup tournament was the first massive event in football to show the use of video technology but 21 VAR reviews seems slim in general.
At odds of 7/4 for a review disallowing a goal in this year's World Cup Final, bookies give around a 36% chance of it happening.
There are three best bookmakers for World Cup betting and a lot of bookmakers will offer odds on VAR reviews in each individual game.
