Olympics Basketball - Spain v United States
24 August 2008
Preview By Tipster
Hayate (Greece)
Asian Handicap Line +18.5 : -18.5

Usa vs Spain is the big final of the Olympics after today's results.Spain with some way managed to beat Lithuania and to tell the truth Lithuania gave the right to her opponents to leave the court with the win in their pockets.Usa had no problem for one more time against Argentina but the Latinos had a quite good performance versus the stars of NBA.The U.S. were not so vivid today at some times during the game and i do not know why.Anyway now they have to beat one more opponent to justify the title people gave to them,"the redeem team".This opponent is Spain,a team that the US beat by 37 points,119-82,some days ago.
My prediction is that USA will take this at least by 25 points for one more time.I know that the line seems a little big but this is the last game for both teams and the Americans will go with their engines on fire to take the trophy without any pressure and stress.That means they will come out hungry from the first minutes.
I do not have anything against the Spanish squad and in fact i believe that they are the best team after the U.S. but i do not like them in this tournament for some reason.Navarro and Carbajoja are out of form,Calderon's status is unknown(he can't be totally ready anyway)so Fernandez and Gasol have to take their team on their shoulders.
I will go with both USA -20.5 and over as a cover for the first bet.The reason that i go with high stake is that i am going with two bets.Why?Because i still believe that even in a bad day the U.S. will score 100 points.So worst case scenario,100-80,we lose the first bet and take the 2nd.My prediction is a score like 108-80.

United States -18.5

1.85

8 / 10
