Any odds up yet? I would be the field at anything close to 20-1. Truly awesome that Las Vegas will have Olympic betting this year.

I'll say it again over the next two months: Olympic basketball should go the route of soccer: Under 23 teams with two or three players over. Don't think any other country would lose too many of their stars and even if they did they would still increase their chances of winning.

I am amazed that Pau Gasol keeps going. That guy probably has more logged professional/International & Olympic minutes w/o and major injuries than anyone.
