USA -39.5 with Iran, someone say too much...

Bluehorseshoe · 08-31-10, 09:18 PM

It's only a bet if you can name a guy on Iran.

h3da · 08-31-10, 11:35 PM

Lol I don't think USA will win by 40... Plus the fatique against brazil.. Durant won't be playing for many minutes.. Expecting USA to win by 30 or less?

texhooper · 08-31-10, 11:43 PM

is hamed haddadi or however you spell it from the grizzlies on the iranian team?

that would be one guy. not that i'm taking the u.s. here, just asking, really.

senseionline · 08-31-10, 11:53 PM

i think 40 is too much to for underpower Usa team i will take Iran

What statement? Iran is not even a top 10 team. Good luck.

chaseman · 09-01-10, 01:03 AM

Iran +40 all the way.

Rod1010 · 09-01-10, 01:26 AM

should i bet 200 on usa -40 ?

mav924 · 09-01-10, 01:29 AM

US will definitely win but don't think it will be by that much

jon13009 · 09-01-10, 01:29 AM

Even if you tease it the game would be close....Stay away.

Rod1010 · 09-01-10, 01:32 AM

i meant to write -20 not -40 . my bad. ill stay away . i might bet 150 on the game going u166.5

MrSink · 09-01-10, 03:09 AM

I will put better some unit on underdog here.

dude_bg · 09-01-10, 04:19 AM

hmm, can't see team USA being motivated to keep the tempo after 20-25 points difference. So i am going with IRan.
Guys anyone things Iran will be motivated as USA is country they consider a top enemy ?

Poster X · 09-01-10, 04:28 AM

Backcourt advantage strongly to the US. I will lay the number.

paciophobia · 09-01-10, 04:33 AM

im going with iran to cover the huge +40. crazy odds lol. think its gonna be close though.

hedgejob · 09-01-10, 05:54 AM

This line is a joke. USA is Iran's no 1 enemy, Iran will come for some action.

TeamTT · 09-01-10, 06:04 AM

Way too much in my opinion

sanchez985 · 09-01-10, 06:24 AM

I also think 40 points is a lot to cover

juuso · 09-01-10, 06:38 AM

USA likely wins at least by 20-30, but could even win by 50 if they really pushed it. I think Iran will be more motivated though. This is just regular group stage game for USA.

hedgejob · 09-01-10, 06:40 AM

This is how much Iranians hate USA

GiveMeaBJ · 09-01-10, 06:50 AM

Obviously the whole tournament will provide inflated lines for the US. This US team is not good. They showed that so far. It's simple. Take guys like LeBron and Dwight Howard off the floor, hell even Chris Bosh and this US team is no different then any other team in the tournament. Sure, we still have the better roster and players but the point is LeBron, Howard, and Bosh are those hybrid guys these other countries have never played against. No one has even one player as big and athletic as LeBron, Howard or Bosh. Right now our best player is Kevin Durant and while he is a great player he is just another guy you wouldn't look twice at walking down the street. 40 is a lot for this US team to cover. Sure it will be a statement game and they probably win by 26 but this US team is a good fade right now.

SpiderMonkey · 09-01-10, 07:19 AM

I would reluctantly lay the 40

GroundnPound · 09-01-10, 07:20 AM

USA covers first half spread of what ever -21.5 or what ever and Iran covers game.

ufuque · 09-01-10, 07:31 AM

I think USa will cover it

FHCI30 · 09-01-10, 07:32 AM

man this is tough because usa could slow the pace, and try and not waste as much energy. But we have already seen teams lose by 40 plus and its by teams that dont even have a good roster like the americans

jram68 · 09-01-10, 09:05 AM

Iran sucks at everything but I dont think USA covers 39 here

chaseman · 09-01-10, 10:20 AM

I can't figure out if I'd die from shock or laughter if USA finds a way to lose this game. Either way, I'm taking a chance on Iran +whatever.

xxdjstriderxx · 09-01-10, 11:10 AM

i knew there was no way usa would cover this or go over the total

i should have bet iran + under but its hard to lay money down on such a shit team

GroundnPound · 09-01-10, 11:32 AM

Lol I didn't know Kevin Love could make the team, when is my call up

TeamTT · 09-02-10, 01:00 AM

Should have taken Iran to cover.. Knew it was too many points

h3da · 09-02-10, 03:08 AM

I don't think alot of ppl fell for the trap lol...

it was scary the last couple of minutes, IRan making TO after TO, glad it came my way

Defuzas · 09-02-10, 03:28 AM

I would not bet on such spread ever, it's total nonsence, bookmakers trick..

MrSink · 09-02-10, 03:39 AM

it was really close to cover but I agree with u it's bookmakers trick
gl in next games

dude_bg · 09-02-10, 05:19 AM

so no one going for 45,5 for tunisia?
