It's actually pretty entertaining for beaver ball. Lots of offense, few fouls and just all around playing hard.

Aussies up 4 at half. 20 minutes is still a long time for Australia to hold on.

I wish I would have made a bet on Australia before the game, could have gotten them +3300 (betfair) and hedged out selling them at +550 (betfair).

This would mean a $100 bet would have been worth $33,000 and could sell $5500 for a $27,500 free play

I Just put $500 on Aussie +9.5 2H.

Don't care now... common Aussie common, common. Common Aussie common

Just hit that 6''8 girl in the knee and USA will win by 20.

I'm on them +24 and +13 in game, still think they are up against it.

They are playing hard and doing the country proud, all you can ask for - Come on Opals!

If they continue to play so well offensively it'll be a final minute finish.

Bad start to 3q though with a 4 point play opportunity.

This was not a proper bet. This was a stupid emotional bet because I want the Aussies to keep it close. Seriously this is how people like me lose cash.

Don't you hate watching games sometimes?

I made a half-time ML bet on the Aussies so trust me I thought that was dumb bet a few times too.

I shouldn't have watched this at all. Not sure wtf I was thinking but this was silly to even pay attention.

Well my half time bet failed pretty hard.
