Honestly guys, the lines that I have (4.5 o/u; USA -3.5) don't look extremely appealing. Cuba will defend with 11 men and are much more organized and athletic than Belize.

We all know is going to happen when the 1st 2 goals go in. I hesitated for some reason to put 4 more units on the over 4 at 2.39 yesterday.... Today that line was at 1.88... This game equals at the following scenario: when you know you flop the nuts but you actually have to think how can you extract the most chips from your opponent. My call 6-0 in this one... You know me bro, I am a believer

Don't forget the political context. Cuba will try to do everything they can to avoid an embarrassment. Lucky I got an early line at -2.5/-3 and I can hedge now at +3. Hopefully, USA will win by 3.

Fantastic analogy bro lol, that's totally accurate we have flopped the nuts now lets get the Cuban's to pay us lol
I took -3 USA yesterday and today i put down 5 units to win 2 units on over 3.5, i got the low odds cause i bet it late, but it's going to hit anyway, Cubans are better than Belize but they didn't even score against CR and conceded 3.

You got a good line. The difference between these two teams is abysmal, the US should win by more than 3.

6-0 is acceptable anything less than 6 goals I will be shocked and very upset

olemissbydamn · 07-13-13, 01:26 PM

If my line would drop to 3 or o/u to 4 I'd get all over it. I don't like these hooks. Going to wait a bit before making a final decision.

If they do, I will still be a happy camper: +1u, win by 3: +2u, win by less: I break even. Go USA.

Akatana · 07-13-13, 01:56 PM

I have a confession i've gone crazy on this one Ahahahaha
Go USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go Klinsmann

Oh and I'm a BELIEVER!!!!!!!

Why didn't you just give me that 100$ instead of flushing it down the toilet? did you win the lotto or something?

olemissbydamn · 07-13-13, 02:52 PM

I just can't in good conscience bet against the USA and I want to make it interesting. I could see a 4-0 score but I'm not overly optimistic about the over or the spread hitting like I was about some other games, or the Costa Rica o2.5

theballsflop · 07-13-13, 02:54 PM

Ship it... gj uruguay! Now, lets take a look at USA. So far they playin like pussies

Bro I respect your bet is your money and you can do whatever you want with it. But I would like to know what made you write the statement above?, have you watch the games?

olemissbydamn · 07-13-13, 02:59 PM

Shea looks terrible so far

Akatana · 07-13-13, 03:00 PM

Ok it's only early on and i believe, but it's not looking so great, USA are shaky when they have the ball. Let's hope they pick it up sooner than later, and i know they say "don't judge a book by it's cover" but what is some hippy boy (Beckerman) doing in the USA national team, who let this guy play? Ahahahahha

onemoregoal · 07-13-13, 03:02 PM

well, this is awkward...

theballsflop · 07-13-13, 03:04 PM

USA looking piss poor so far.

Akatana · 07-13-13, 03:09 PM

Ummmmm ok this is quiet disgusting

The Baron · 07-13-13, 03:11 PM

Cant watch the game is US actually attacking and getting chances or just passing the ball around.

theballsflop · 07-13-13, 03:11 PM

Wowwwww

olemissbydamn · 07-13-13, 03:11 PM

Told you guys I was pretty skeptical of this bet.

O · 07-13-13, 03:12 PM

They look like Belize....... 0-1 Cuba

theballsflop · 07-13-13, 03:12 PM

Phew, was holding out for HT before I made my move.

Akatana · 07-13-13, 03:13 PM

This is disgusting lol but i'm actually glad the Cuban's opened this up, at least the likelihood of the over 3.5 is looking better now

olemissbydamn · 07-13-13, 03:13 PM

Take Brek Shea's scrub ass out of the game, put in Jose Torres for Beltra, get Onyewu out of there. These are things that should not have to be said, shit starting lineup.
