OK Let's see who took Mali

xstud · 08-13-08, 09:12 AM

Lol this is great... now we know why the spread is so high.

Captain of Mali out (also happens to be their leading scorer)

rm18 · 08-13-08, 09:14 AM

i think the US will cover, not playing it, womens basketball has so little parody compared to mens. Remember hearing how Lisa Leslie scored 108 points in a half and the other team never came back out of the lockerroom?

AnotherLoan · 08-13-08, 09:15 AM

Is this game available to watch anywhere?

SportsGambler · 08-13-08, 09:16 AM

Mali +59 -110

USA vs. Mali UNDER 162 -110

rm18 · 08-13-08, 09:16 AM

USA network for me

rm18 · 08-13-08, 09:17 AM

nbcolympics.com if not on tv

rm18 · 08-13-08, 09:17 AM

5-0 after a minute

Tsoprano · 08-13-08, 09:19 AM

Im on Mali.

rm18 · 08-13-08, 09:21 AM

seems like the US could of put together a much better team, at least in the starting lineup especially

xstud · 08-13-08, 09:21 AM

The game is televised on USA or obviously on nbcolympiics.com

accuscoresucks · 08-13-08, 09:24 AM

mali's starter has a torn ligament thats why its +60 1/2

pavyracer · 08-13-08, 09:25 AM

If Mali's captain is out then the under is a lock. Even a 124-40 win by US covers it.

xstud · 08-13-08, 09:27 AM

So covering 60 pts? sorry I didn't read that right... Already half way through the 1stq and us only up by 1....

While I do not deny Mali obviously must suck and will suck.... I again am convinved that USA can win every period by 15 pts and they STILL would not cover

That's what I am willing to admit to.... You would think this would be a pretty easy cover but is anyone else kinda nervous? I have NEVER seen a line this big in a 40 min bball game. Closest I have seen to something with that kinda points involves college football (obviously increments of 7) and it was for Duke vs VTech and it was like Duke +48 (of course Vtech Covered if I remember right)

your bets are looking good, but never buy points on a basketball total

Tsoprano · 08-13-08, 09:29 AM

This games on pace for around 130 points if it continues at this pace.

Only a 3 pt game.

xstud · 08-13-08, 09:32 AM

Thanks RM for the advice... I honestly don't play totals much I just figured "Hey if I bet huge I need some kind of insurance" and I have been burned 2 times this week by losing by 2 pts

My confidence got a little shaken because of that but whatev... thanks again for that advice.

i got suckerd fffuuuukkkk never again will this happen,the worse thing about it is pavvy didnt give us no warning

Tsoprano · 08-13-08, 09:44 AM

20 pt lead already...

accuscoresucks · 08-13-08, 09:55 AM

accuscoresucks · 08-13-08, 09:56 AM

the 3rd quarter is going to be ugly here

Tsoprano · 08-13-08, 09:57 AM

Thank god they hit some quick 3's. 21 pt game at half.

xstud · 08-13-08, 09:59 AM

Honestly, I am feeling pretty good about the bets.... nowhere near a lock yet but the U.S. has found a consistent pace which is good for us because it falls under that 15 pt lead per quarter...

I already told myself that if Mali can keep it under 40 by 3/4 through the 3rd then we all really get to feeling what gambling is all about...

Mali just needs one MODERATELY hot streak, they already are playing the D that we need them to play to prevent a cover here... (could be better obviously but you know)

X, it should hit. Although these USA girls are scoring quick. But hopefully it holds out for the next 20 minutes. Those 3's gave them a little "fire".

xstud · 08-13-08, 10:09 AM

I agree TS.... let's hope we are celebrating when this is over and I can be buying some lap dances by 8pm tonight

Cheers for the confidence!

topgame85 · 08-13-08, 10:11 AM

23 point lead at half you all are on track to cover

treece · 08-13-08, 10:13 AM

Mali is playing pretty decent for a 60.5 point underdog.

Deuce · 08-13-08, 10:17 AM

Up 34, 5:00 to go in the 3rd.

xstud · 08-13-08, 10:17 AM

OK I am american and everything but the one thing I hate about ur bball teams is when we are up and destroying the teams and we still have our starters in...

I hate running up the score when clearly our 3rd stringers could handle the game easily

I guess this is the only time the women get to taste dominance

i think the backups are better players, starters Leslie, Thompson, Smith are old, not the players they used to be

xstud · 08-13-08, 10:28 AM

OK we need to start doing some praying. Let's hope the relaxation kicks in for the U.S.

Also we need Mali to at least score 10 pts in the 4th... that's it you poor POS's
