There is practically no guess work involved anymore. With regards to pre-tournament odds there is a wealth of stats out there for people to use to price things up.

I'm a professional statistician and have worked on economic forecast for several years with some of the most educated people of my country, and I don't think it's any kind of science. There are calculations, sometimes many ones, but the starting hypotheses are much much more important for the results.
