Are the American women vulnerable at this tournament? They almost lost to Belgium. Just saying.

[JIBBBY]

US mens basketball team was a fun to watch in the first game yesterday. That team is loaded! They'll probably cover the spreads in most games going forward.

Canada women's soccer team beat France 2-1 after being down 1-0.

Women's soccer is awful but there are a ton of scoring chances throughout the game.

Can your women play field hockey too?

wow about the Rugby. I didn't hear that.

No idea about field hockey. Although it says hockey, it's nothing like ice hockey. Almost nothing like it.

Taking USA (W) -1 (-105)

USWST A Popular Side
Bettors are big believers in the United States women’s soccer team in their match against Australia today.

The House is seeing a deluge of bets on America’s Women’s soccer team with 90% of the wagers on them to outright win as -294 favorites on the Money Line. Team USA is on a roll with 2 Group Stage wins, outscoring their opponents 7 goals to 1.

For the 1st half Money Line, USA is -111 to have a lead at the break. They have outscored opponents 6-1 in the 1st half of their 2 Olympic wins.

[Headsterx]

And don't forget the USA Men's basketball today! I don't know if there are any NBA players on Sudan's team, but they did make USA earn their last win against them. With that said, nobody and I mean nobody is going to stop them now!

USA -28 (-115)


The US men’s basketball team is a big favorite versus South Sudan today and bettors have been more than happy to grab the generous amount of points.

Oddsmakers initially installed the Americans as 33.5-point favorites, but 67% of the bettors are on the underdogs and the line has dropped to 29.5.

Sudan, coming off a blowout over Puerto Rico in their 1st Group Stage game, came within 1 point of the powerhouse Americans 11 days ago in an exhibition game. Meanwhile, team USA crushed Serbia by 26 points on Sunday.

Now that the line has dropped which team do you like? Hit the link below to get the best lines on Today’s Olympic hoops action. This Group Stage game will tip off at 3:00 pm ET on USA Network.

Zac Stubblety-Cook Leon Marchand -vs- Zac Stubblety-Cook Match ML Swimming - Olympics - 200m Breaststroke Men @ 2024-07-31

3.190

Taking a stab on this h2h bet in the 200m breaststroke. Stubblety-Cook is a former world record holder in this event and his PB is better than Marchand's PB

Marchand is definitely dangerous as he already has 2 gold medals in Paris but it's also not that common for someone to excel at both butterfly and breaststroke (I think)

Marchand also just swum in the 200m butterfly finals a short while ago and it seems he expended a lot of energy catching the leader Milak in the final 50m and winning gold

On a short turnaround maybe he doesn't quite have that final kick. Either way, seems good odds to try

Was definitely worth the shot at those odds. For all the reasons you said.

But Marchand just pulled off a Phelps level performance today.

Amazing finish. Guy is killing it.

I do think the Home crowd adds some fuel to the fire. Might have brought him home. Great Olympic moment.

For me, he's the story of the Olympics for far.

Track and Field begins tomorrow. That's my favorite part of the games.
