Olympics Basketball - Croatia v Russia
12 August 2008
Preview By Tipster
Hayate (Greece)

Maybe the Olympics is not the right tournament for betting and i am sure during the year we will have many great choices to bet on but we can not avoid it at all.Croatia in her debut crashed Australia easily bu 15 points having some incredible stats,shooting 12/16 3-point shots and 24/38 2 point shots.Russia on the other hand had no problem against Iran and reached to an easy win with 71-49 FT.
After the first day the public tends to Croatia to lead the game in a close score and steal the win from the favourites.Russia is not in a great form like she was last year but again i would not bet in Croatia here.Croatia could be the surprise of the tournament but without perimeter scoring will face problems and we all know that the 3-point shots are not the most value solution.
I will go with under here first of all because i find it not just difficult but impossible to see a similar Croatian performance like we did yesterday.Against Australia we saw an incredibly high scoring 4rth quarter as the Aussies were trying to catch their opponents to the score.Tomorrow we are not going to see a team leading the game by a huge margin.The Russians are not in form but they know how to play and they will not let the Croatians to run.
