Despite a scandal rocking FIFA Thursday, Sepp Blatter still remains heavily favored to retain his position as the President of the world soccer governing body FIFA.

At 1-16 odds, Blatter was a practical “lock” to continue serving as President.

Seven FIFA officials including vice-president Jeffrey Webb were arrested Thursday by Swiss authorities following a probe into bribery totaling more than $150m by the U.S. Justice Department.

1/16 Sepp Blatter Switzerland

12/1 Luis Figo Portugal

16/1 Michael van Praag Netherlands

20/1 Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein Jordan
