Olympic basketball: China is a 33pt underdog Sunday vs team USA

**pat venditto** · 08-08-08, 05:51 AM

usa wins by 40+

**pat venditto** · 08-08-08, 05:52 AM

This is a statement game for them. I feel bad for everyone who has china +33.

**AnotherLoan** · 08-08-08, 05:52 AM

USA wins by 50.

**jjgold** · 08-08-08, 08:25 AM

33 seems like a lot if Yao is health and they play a slower game

How does China play pace wise?

**Crayzee** · 08-08-08, 10:37 AM

us wins by 32

**SBR Lou** · 08-08-08, 10:52 AM

China outright?

**ZBOIZ** · 08-08-08, 11:19 AM

Yao is there only player againts 12 of U.S players. I would'nt touch this line. Coach K will play a pressing Defense up court and play at a fast tempo. I would not touch this line.

you got it

be quite dumb to bet against any chinese this olympics
the opening ceremony is enough to tell you this fact.

After watching the recent performance of the US team, you would be a fool to lay that many points. I'm all over China + the points, I'm going to wait and see if I can get a few more points from the casual bettors betting the US before tip. No question the US wins this game, probably by 20 to 25 points. Even if they are up by 30+ late in the 4th, you have to worry about garbage time, and this being on Chinese soil, the Chinese won't just pack it in. Way too many points.

you mother****ers who think US can cover the spread needs a reality check.

Vegas is going to be raking in the dough from Joe Squares who are going to bet the US to cover the enormous spreads every game. Don't be sucked in guys. Team USA may very well win gold (they should), but they are going to be terrible ATS.

**Crayzee** · 08-08-08, 11:46 PM

i just bet on czech women vs the nappy head ho's
+27-1/2

**losturmarbles** · 08-08-08, 11:55 PM

im fading usa spread all month long

you see all the stories of how theyre now a "selfless team" compared to past teams. i say bullshit. these players have been spoiled and pampered by the nba, so much that they think they can actually turn on some magic switch in the last minutes of a game and dominate the floor.

china +33

What do you think about the under in this game? It's 157, that's pretty high if you consider the US girls should shut down the Czechs. I don't think the Czechs will score enough to send this over.

**Red_Sux** · 08-08-08, 11:57 PM

the fair spread should be around 20 pts.

**pat venditto** · 08-09-08, 12:01 AM

im gonna laugh when usa wins by 50. usa is gonna cover you china backers are getting burried.

**smitch124** · 08-09-08, 12:44 AM

which way do you see this line moving?

**ZBOIZ** · 08-09-08, 02:01 AM

USA might cover this spread! How will China stop them? Wade, Paul, Lebron, kobe. Put your money on the u.s

**gordon gekko** · 08-09-08, 03:27 AM

I would say I like the U.S. but it is completely biased.

**BrUno0** · 08-09-08, 03:44 AM

I'd rather have my high school team +33 instead.

**mundane** · 08-09-08, 04:15 AM

china +33 FTW!

prolly not available at my book but if i were you, i'd bet china +pts on this one.

one word: backdoored!

and yeah... the games are being played in china. go figure!

**tevari** · 08-09-08, 06:44 AM

I'm laying -17 for the first half. The US should come out guns blazing, have a hefty lead into the 4th and then rest their starters to not embarass the host country.

**Red_Sux** · 08-09-08, 07:06 AM

all you guys who bet USA cover are gonna be sucking dicks for re-up money after the game is over.

**RogueJuror** · 08-09-08, 07:21 AM

with you on that one Red Sux, China+

**BeatTheJerk** · 08-09-08, 09:01 AM

**pat venditto** · 08-09-08, 09:08 AM

tevari,

You bring up a good and valid point about the half-time line. I think this would be the better way to go the first few games.

**daggerkobe** · 08-09-08, 11:17 AM

Name another player on China, other than Yao....... EXACTLY.

USA by 50 sounds about right.

You think their backups are scrubs?
