I agree. Usa will win by at least 10. No let down here.

 

[TakingTheBookiesMoney]

Here are the lines at my Book.

Spain -5.5
Total O/U 155

USA -20
Total O/U 183

 

[BUCSnotYUCKS]

I'm showing -20.5 at BetJam currently. I think I'll leave the spread alone in that game.

 

[MrRogers]

like spain the most...gl

i got it yesterday at 18 actually, however when i posted this this it was 19.5, then i figure to buy .5 it would be (-120)

 

[BUCSnotYUCKS]

Argentina can hang with USA because they have the athletic players and shooters to do so. Spain is too defensive minded to hang with team USA, that's why we handled them.

However, with this spread, Argentina is so thin in depth and if they got into foul trouble, team USA could very easily win by atleast 25-30.

 

[BUCSnotYUCKS]

Going to be gone tomorrow morning until the afternoon so my plays are as followed:

Spain -5.5
under 155

USA -20.5
under 183

I see another blowout

 

[n19dlo]

lithuania +6
this game should be a tight game throughout. pao gasol will be the difference here though. but whenever he comes out of games, the spain offense sometimes seems lost. lithuania is a pretty balanced team & i can actually see them winning this game. but to be on the safe side, give me the points here....

usa -20
still scratching my head as to how the argentinians beat the greeks. the greeks played a lot of pick and roll offense and scored a TON of layups against the argentian D. fully expect the USA to do the same thing. add into the mix that this will be a revenge game for a few of the players on the USA squad (Lebron, Dwade, TPrince) that was on the 2004 olympic team, and there is no way argentina covers, let alone, win this one. this will probably be one of my bigger, if not the biggest bet, i make in the olympics...

glta :toast:

 

[Croatia1]

I dont like spain this year, they couldnt finish off a Croatian team that was missing their key player and only scoring 1 point in the first 5 minutes.

I think Lithuania will win, but im taking the +6.5 just incase of a last second freak shot winner by spain.

 

[Croatia1]

Usa could go down th the wire, or could be a blowout

too tough to call for me, but if i was to pick id take argentina on the +

definately agree with you on the usa revenge attitude

 

[Croatia1]

You are right about the revenge attitude but the Argentinians mentality is more stubborn than USAs
they are too passionate to get smashed in anything

Go down to the wire...ARE YOU CRAZY? Do you even know what basketball is? Do you even know what the Olympics are? What the hell are you watching in Australia? Only chance Argentina has is if US makes 0-5 three pointers.

 

[Croatia1]

yeh well i bet you said that every tournament the usa has been in
and what have they got recently?
oh thats right.

The only unbeatable USA team was the dream team (original)
and thats the only team that deserves that name.
