Lithuania +1.5 v Brazil (1.5 u's)

opcorn:

 

[emkee]

Refs bought into the comeback and it got a little dicey in the end but a win's a win.

Lithuania the only team that can challenge Spain for the silver medal.

Should have a play in the Croatia v Spain game a little later.

Spain -8.5 v Croatia (1.5 u's)

opcorn:

 

[emkee]

36-20 run by Croatia after Spain went up by 14 with 2 mins to go in the 3rd quarter.

Spain went pussy. Gasol playing that creampuff ball.

Saric the soon-to-be Sixer blocked that mitch and won the game.

Had Croatia ranked as one of the worst defensive teams in the tourney but they played great defense tonight.

[emkee]

Sorry fellas, Aussies too gritty. Serbians ice cold from 3.

 

[emkee]

Back to back 'upsets' for Australia. Smh.

USA -49.5 v Venezuela (2 u's)

opcorn:

 

[emkee]

Hearing it was a 'tactical' move by Serbia to lose today.

 

[pressitup]

What do you think of Argentina , manana?

 

[Toronto_Mike]

on the US too, seriously what else to play?
taking TT over for the USA in every quarter if it's lower than 30 points lol

 

[emkee]

Looking like a bad day. USA gonna all be fouled out at this rate and have to forfeit.

 

[emkee]

Venezuela playing rugby.

 

[emkee]

USA still on the super yacht.

 

[emkee]

2-3 (-2.18)

0-3 last 3 plays.

Some promising games tomorrow to get back on track.

 

[emkee]

Klay 1-11 FG's so far in the Olympics.

Spain -6.5 v Brazil (2.5 u's)

Gonna fade the money once again.

Spain should feast, Brazil defense on the perimeter is weak.

opcorn:

 

[nbafan88]

where are you seeing the money is on brazil? I see the complete opposite

 

[emkee]

Money was on Brazil, line went from 8 to 6. Money was on Aussie yesterday as well.

Case of riding the steam so far in the first round.

Spain needs Marc Gasol, Pau is soft and how is Rubio in the NBA.

My thread hemorrhaging money right now. 0-4 and counting.

Lithuania -17.5 v Nigeria (3 units)

:shake2:

 

[emkee]

Just ugly.

Argentina ML v Croatia (3 units)

opcorn:

3-5 (-4.76)

Should be smooth sailing once we get past the dodgy prelims.

adding...

Serbia ML -121 v France (3.63 to win 3)

Completely disagree with your logic


2/3 of the wagers were on Spain and everyone thought Spain would win.

 

[emkee]

That was sick. 5 point lead with 2 mins to go and they never score again, meanwhile France goes on a 6-0 run.

Probably the only game-winning shot or even clutch shot washed-up Tony Parker has made in the last 8 years, fml.

 

[Botanical]

Disgusted with their simple lack of effort and sense of security,poor shot selection...unreal

 

[emkee]

Is enough to make you say 'fuck it' but there's still money to be made in this version of the sport.

Gonna ride it out and make some bigger plays in the next round.

Hate walking away with out a profit, start it and finish it.

Like USA and Venezuela tonight but the Serbians have left me with a raw ass, so nada plays.

Need to soak and re-evaluate, back tomorrow.

 

[nbafan88]

Spain should demolish Nigeria tonight

 

[spanishshark]

This Ledecky swimmer is unreal.

 

[emkee]

Spain should demolish Nigeria tonight

Nothing invested until tomorrow but how does Spain lead by 14 after 1 and proceed to let Nigeria outscore them 30-18 in the 2nd quarter.

They are clearly the softest team in the Olympics.

 

[emkee]

No-one scores 30 in a quarter in Olympic basketball unless it's Team USA.

 

[UMiamiCapper]

Nigeria on another 14-0 run their second of the game! They're gonna do it!

 

[UMiamiCapper]

16-0 run now for Nigeria. INCREDIBLE!

 

[emkee]

Nigeria won't win but there are so many things wrong with Spain. Gasol and Rubio are brutal.

 

[emkee]

adding...

USA -23 v Serbia (3 u's)

Serbia is a young team and it showed in their last game during crunch-time when they blew a game they should have won.

The Serbs are so-so defensively and are not a great shooting team, plus they are somewhat turnover prone.

USA should have little trouble rolling this team after their 'scare' vs the Aussies.

Line seems a little low, which is my only concern.

opcorn:

 

[emkee]

Refs killing any fluidity with all the foul calls. Waiting for a USA run.

Olympic Basketball = Roulette.

 

[emkee]

Fart = Foul in this game.

 

[emkee]

USA can't defend teams that can pass the ball, where all players get a touch.

67 FTA's overall, Scott Foster is blushing somewhere.

 

[emkee]

Brazil +1.5 v Argentina (4 u's)

:shake2:

 

[emkee]

lol, this has too be the unluckiest thread here right now.
