Sorry for hijacking your thread. Last question re: olympic football.

On 5Dimes, Switzerland is listed as the favorite to win the group over Mexico. Found that surprising. Caught the Switzerland match vs. Senegal and they didn't look like the strongest squad. Any insight on them?

No worries bro, all gooood!

Im also confused by how heavily favoured they are. I believe they came runners up in the Under 21 Euros last year which may be why as they are deemed to have some quality young prospects. But when you look at their team nothing jumps out at you....there are no particularly amazing prospects. I think they are just a solid unit with good organisation. But I agree, I think S.Korea have a great chance of getting through. May have to play tht as well

Also been thinking about playin Japan to get through but they haven't included any high quality over 23 players such as Kagawa. As u said it seems Korea have got some better more experienced players

That's how I am thinking as well. I just think that Switzerland won't have the quality on offense to take advantage of Korea's mediocre defense.

I was looking forward to playing Japan as well. But no Kagawa, Honda, Endo, Ryo, among others. Usami is a highly touted prospect but they didn't look good against Mexico, even though they pulled out the victory.

The thing with Japan and Korea is it's likely that they will be supermotivated and they are also very well conditioned. Also they are all mid way and towards end of there seasons so will be interesting to see whether tht helps them (as some opponents are not match-fit or if it hinders them because they have knocks and are tired from gruelling seasons).

Rousey talks about who she likes from the US judo team in the olympics. Kayla Harrison is like +500 at the euro books in the 78kg category.

Okami fought Anderson Silva two fights ago. Now he is fighting Buddy Roberts.

Saw someone suggest Okami vs. Lombard. Don't think Lombard's camp would agree to it, but he shouldn't be too banged up after that sparring session, and it would be a good way to get back in the title mix.

Hey v
thougjts on joe benavides at /280
i like him to win here don't know how much value he has I have him in a couple of parlays
but if Pickett gave Johnson trouble with wrestling then joe should be s nightmare
also the only way I see dj winning is via out quantity strikes for three rounds
i also think the lighter weight classes are harder for the judges to critique due to the amount of movement and lack of heavy damage

Please feel free to criticize my massive typos and poor American english

Yep, already got Benadvidez in a few parlays, and will be adding him to more leading up to the fight. Agree Mighty Mouse will only win by decision if he does win so will have option to hedge with MM by decision depending on how much I have at stake on JoeyB come fight night

**Vaughany** · 07-25-12, 02:46 PM

ha Benavidez destroys Bisping!...

Yeah, limited on there now tho. I got him at +225 on Unibet but was only £20 or something

**DublinMeUp** · 07-25-12, 04:30 PM

Always forget about Unibet, probably why i still have a fully functioning account with them

damn, i wonder what 5d will open him at. probably something like bovada (+138). would be nice to have a euro book right now. you guys probably have much better lines for the american swimmers also.

**PunisherIND** · 07-25-12, 06:19 PM

rousey/kaufman ITD -350 on 5d.

**Beelzebubzy** · 07-25-12, 06:24 PM
