(2024 Olympics) Men's BASK - Notes/Plays

[IBetYou]

3 out of the 4 games decided by a 1pt or less ATS. Glad I steered away from this. Used to be easy, now harder than the NBA in May.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

I think they are all kind of buddy buddy personally in reality.

I did see the old interview about not wanting to hear the star spangled banner or hear cowbells I think you are referring to though. I'd use it to fire up the team if I was USA too.


Our womens swim team probably the best we have ever had at an olympics.

Happy for you, Opti. Hope your team does you proud at these Olympics.

Still trying to think thru how the Medal stand will look for the Men's Bask:
*I've made it clear that I don't think the USA is a lock for Gold.
*Most like Canada to medal. I'm not as hi on them.
*If I had to pick my 3 medalists right now, I'd say USA/Serbia/Germ (in some order).
*If Australia could medal against this field, I'd say that they had a successful tournament.

Glad I waited I was able to get a point back. +13.5 +100

Durant shooting the lights out.

Durant shooting the lights out.

Oh ya he is. He is going to play 12 mins maybe. What is he going to do? SHOOT! That's why just getting him out there is all that matters.

[SomeDayinBuffalo]

I was going to say it yesterday. I like the D-Wade and Noah Eagle team. The new NBC team?

A lot of Tie breakers.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Day: 4-1 ATS. Of course, the #s are mostly sharp. It's never easy.

Day: 0-7
ytd: 4-8 ATS

Note to self: do not fade Lebron James trying to get a Medal.

1* SoSud/USA - Under 191 1.94: 1 to win .94
...Looking for a reversal from recent results.
...Durant shot the lights-out vs Serbia.
...And I think Kerr will scout to defend the 3-pt line better vs SoSudan this time.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

FRA struggles mightily. Has to go to OT to beat Japan.

Ya I was looking at this too. It's up to 192.5 now. I like how it went up. Just not enough time in the game and the rematch will be lowing score.

Adding 2nd unit. UND 192 1.90: 1 to win .90.
...Thanks, Buffalo. I do like the reversal in this spot.
...Shayok (from IowaSt) had six 3's in the first meet. I really think that Kerr will emphasize 3pt Defense in this one.
...I don't think this game will be NEARLY as close as the Exhib game. So, it's mostly a matter of how many pts So Sudan scores. I'm looking for SoSudan to be under 80 pts.

[SomeDayinBuffalo]

I'm going with LeBron over 15.5 pts. I'm going with it for every game. He will get his in more than not.

Good Luck, Buffalo. I can give you one tip that I heard on the radio:

*Kerr will play Tatum today after missing him in the rotation last out.

Tatum will. I took the under on Embiild u10.5pts also

2* Greece +6 1.93 (vs Australia): 2 to win 1.86

2* Greece +6 1.93 (vs Australia): 2 to win 1.86

FYI: Exum (AUSTRALIA) suffered a dislocated finger in the final Exhib game. His minutes have been limited. Not sure he'd be playing if this wasn't the Olympics.

2* FRANCE +4 1.91 (vs Germ): 2 to win 1.82
...This is really just a Home Dog play.
...They haven't looked good. I'm looking for the Home crowd to help get FRA over the line. Possibly the same way the crowd helped Marchand win his swimming event.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

3rd unit on FRA +4 1.94: 1 to win .94

[ChuckyTheGoat]

2* Greece +6 1.93 (vs Australia): 2 to win 1.86

Greece most likely MADE IT based on their win today. SoSudan would have to pull off an upset to eclipse GRE on the 3rd-place ladder.

Wow, what's the Tie-breaker on GRE/SPA? Looks like they landed square on Net Margin (-8).

France lays an egg. Damn, first loss of the week.

The Talking Heads love Wemby. I can't wait to bet against this asshole the first time the Spurs are favored.

2* Puerto Rico +35.5 2.00 (vs USA): 2 to win 2.00

*PR covers comfortably.
*Serbia play was a disaster. Other plays have been OK.
ytd = 10-11 ATS.

1* FRANCE +7 1.95 (vs Canada): 1 to win .95

Thx, Vene.

[IBetYou]

10-11 is a disaster. I warned you, these prices are spot on. Women's side considerably easier.

Homer womens bet I like for you Chucky



Our men also play Serbia. I think they should cover with the +7.5 but will take ML +250 too. Just hope/action/interest that one.

[tennelson55]

USA -800 for gold seems a bit rich and Canada +800. I’d check Germany +1000

Good Luck, Opti. Australia Women came thru for me last game!

Opti, I'm torn on that game:
*I don't think SERB played their best in the two games vs USA.
*Australia has mostly played well in Paris. In the last game fair to say that GRE had more to play for.

A bit more support for Jock Landale than last two games and it could be close. Aussie men have a good record v Serbia. 3-2 since Rio to Australia.

Women should roll though I think.

Greece got owned, Greece backers got fleeced.

That sucked
