I haven't decided on who to take yet, the main reason being that the final game of pool play you have to determine who needs to win and who doesn't need to win(and who is likely to rest some guys.) For seeding purposes teams might not even have a motivation to win a game, if a loss gets them a better match-up in the quarterfinals. I also need to determine the tie-breaker scenarios(I.E. to see if Lithuania has already clinched the #1 spot or not?)
Thats my reason being for liking alot of unders & totals. The only reason I like the Spain/ ANogla over is that every game they (Angola) have played as had a total of that least 153 points. Lit is a #1 for sure, however they should be favored by at least 15 points. Playing them at 10 is a vaule. Argentina the same. I could see the big spreads, such as Germany and Angola covering, due to resting
I can't get a feel for a big play, so I am just going to do something....which is probably stupid. I am parlaying three favorites on the moneyline:
- Greece -330
- Lithuania -550
- Argentina -360
The 3 of them parlayed together, I am betting $50.00 to win $48.39. So I am asking 3 favorites just to win their game in order to make basically even money. I am just not comfortable laying points tonight, plus I get to take the night off and just enjoy the olympics. I get 3 teams to cheer for at even money and it is going to take the biggest upset of the tournament for me not to have an extra $48.39 in my account tomorrow morning.

how about USA team total under 107,5? I know it's a bit crazy, but I think Germany will try to be defensive, of course it's hard to defend off USA, but it looks like too many points to me :think2:
Besides Germany doesn't make a lot of turnovers, USA score many points off easy turnovers :think2:

Yeah, it would not shock me if any of these teams lost tonight(even 10 point favorite Lithuania.) I would say that Greece is the most vulnerable but I think they will show up to play in order to avoid being the 4th seed. We'll see, just a small play I am saving my money for the Quarters and Semi's when hopefully an opportunity pops up.
