Serbia is not winning 2 sets vs. Russia.... so you get at least a push here on 3-1 ft.

12-3 in the 2nd ... and the romp is on
one can only hope that Japan wins all sets from this point forward... setting up an easy win off a way-wrong line

that was a shame. up 2-0 sets. had won 14 straight sets in the tourney.... and they had a let down.
won the match 3-1 sets
sets won = 15
sets lost = 01
was a decent bet

need Japan to win 3-0 against Cuba tonite.... setting up Russia vs. Japan... and a side of likely -1.5 for Russia on Japan's home turf
Russia 3-1 or better against Japan is as solid as it gets in bitch volleyball

what a fukking shame! Japan beats Cuba by only 3-2. now there's no way in hell there will be a -1.5 spread.... unless the linesmakers are asleep at the wheel. pretty sure they've would've fallen into that ... setting up that fat 3-2 pitch right down the middle

I think Russia did not immediately qualify w/ their win over the Serbs b/c they lost a set... but then when Japan played and lost sets to horrendous Cuba, that instantly put them in due to overall standings.
Anyways, there is the possibility of the letdown... the home court is not as significant as the letdown.
Japan was a > -500 fave vs. Korea ... and lost 3-1. Then as a > -900 fave vs. Cuba.... they almost lost in 3 sets. Now they face the best and most dominant team that has won 15 of 16 sets and are far superior to Japan ... and Russia is just a -224 fave and plus money at -1.5 sets. If Russia plays 100%, they win 3-0 sets. If a letdown, maybe 3-1 sets... 3-2 extremely unlikely.
Since the tourney is in Japan, they rigged the schedule for Japan.... putting the weakest teams first for Japan... and then finishing off the tourney w/ the strongest teams last. This would help them build pts and give them hope for qualifying... which it did as they won all their initial matches. It also inflated the lines in favor of Japan... which was disastrous vs. Korea and Cuba. And there was basically no adjustment leading into the Russia match. Plus Russia is aided by the fact that they have one more game after this one... so a dropping in their level would more likely show itself in that match.... but that will be another 3-0 win as it's against Taipei.
only 1 match out of 21 played has seen a 5th set.
also, ironically, the women are more stable in this situation than the men. w/ the men's game you could expect the dropping in level and definitely the dog upset... but w/ women in this sport and in this competition... the answer is no.
Russia: 5-0 w/l , 15-1 sets
end of tourney: 7-0 w/l , 21-1 sets or 21-2 sets

also, it's more profitable for you to take a free winner rather than go on bitch patrol around the forums like you usually do.

sorry, it's underway. no angle.
I thought Taipei could win a set vs Cuba (+2.5 sets, +500)... lost 3-0 but I think they had sp in the first set. lost 27-25
anyways, Japan/Serbia match tomorrow should be the one worth betting on tomorrow... with all the implications. Russia/Taipei will be something rdiciulous as -2.5 sets (-800) ..... if there is even a line at all

ha ha. nailed that like a boss.
actual line: -2.5 sets, -750
and, actually, that's a value bet. Taipei will need 40 hurricanes to simultaneously hit the court for Russia to lose a set against them.
Serbia/Japan line is where it should be, I suppose.... altho the divergence between the ml, the spread and the total.... these are off. Given Serb's schitzophrenic nature and Japan's urgency.... this should not be a 3-0 match by any means... but -232 on ^3.5 sets is ridiculous.

didn't play that. Serbia far more talented than Japan but they produce schizo results.... see Thailand loss of 3-0
only second 3-2 match of the tourney. funny b/c Japan needed to win 2 sets to qualify... and they got it

women's games over. Russia cleaned house
took Serbia in the men's game right now. was about -300... but don't see them losing in any fashion, way, form, whatever. should be a 3-0 thrashing of P.Rico
Japan/Australia is a big one on tap tonite.
If you like value, Australia -1.5 sets at +126. Not saying it wins, but it's a decent bet.
