New Card, What do you think," Picks (Olympic Special#3 Friday)

[Patrick_Bateman]

I posted this (and more) in the global forum thinking that was the best spot, so this is a repost.

(Olympics & Boxing)

9-2
Up $2232 or 22.32 units

Sweeped the board yesterday


I have not lost a game in womens olympic basketball. I have lost 1 game for mens olympic basketball.

(Plays I like but i am staying away)

I like USA -15, in fact ill be surpirsed if USa wins a game by less than 20. Might parlay it later, but we will see. Spain looked like crap versus germany and china. You know what, I am taking them.

Sorry I got lazy to seperate them. I love the lithuania game. Should be a lock. Argentina worries me (the spread) but Iran sucks bad. I think Australia should be favored in this match up versus Russia. I dropped $25 just in case i am right. Greece and the USa were the only teams I was iffy about so thats why the double parlays to limit the losses if i am wrong. Usa will win. So will Greece. The Germany and China matchup is a toss. No way either team wins by 5 points. It will be a 10-20 point win, but for who. If greece wins in both parlays there is a chance i take USA straight out.

That Australia line looks like the mis-lined game of the year. You were all over it, I took them plus the 9 points, but I wish I had them on the money line right now. They look like they should have been the ones favored by 9.

I learned my lesson on Russia when they lost to Croatia, and I thought this game would be around a pick-em game that both teams desperately needed. It raised my eyebrows that Russia was a nine point favorite.


For some reason the odds makers have loved both the mens and womens Russian basketball teams during these Olympics, but neither has performed up to par. Those are the two teams that the oddsmaker have mis-identified the most.

So you said "plays I like but am staying away" and then posted the plays with the wager amounts included.

Are you playing these or not?

(By the way, very good record at 9-2. Keep it going.)

 

[Patrick_Bateman]

Yeah....I got caught up with USa. I played everything that is in that grid
