Aussie's FIBA World Cup Thread

I reckon it will be a slow and close game, as the winner will take 2nd spot and advance.

it won't be played like a exhibition game.

It doesn't take much to score 145 points in a 40 minute basketball game, particularly with the way FIBA is officiated and unsportsmanlike fouls.

I've noticed a lot of teams in foul trouble and the bonus very early in quarters, almost 3-4 minutes into a quarter and they are in the penalty.

That always helps with the Over plays. 

man how unlucky I am

yesterday took the under 167 usa turkey => taum miss 1 ft and go to overtime

today under 160 angola philipine => a 3 to tie it and go to overtime

this is crazy , I'm cursed

Crazily i'm on the other side of both. Just when you thought it was all over.

Dalshim, keep your head up mate. Tough beats are hard to get over mentally sometimes but all you can do is keep on going.

What part of France are you from? Been several times an absolutely love the Cote D'Azur

same here,

I had Angola -3.5 & under 163.5 @3.6 for $500

and Puerto Rico -5.5 & under 143.5 @3.5 for $500 (half time bet)

got moosed both times

lol that's on top of my wnba moose

of sparks -10.5 & under 158.5 for another $500  lol

so if you think u r unlucky, think of me.

Now my turn ...

I bet Over 146 and Tunisia +3 ... Huerta of Puerto Rico throw 3point and 5s left Tunisia could not do anything to rescue me :(

same, I was f ucked up second time by Puerto rico, second time by buzzer.Insane

Anyone have though on Serbia and Italy game? -13?

thanks 

Playing the Italy +

pretty sure Serbia or even both teams are through to the second round, hoping Italy can keep it close enough

I am hesitant to play over in China game even with 141.5 because China can't score

but they are tall and hard to score on.

Poland only manage 72 pts . so can Venezuela score at least 68?

Man China should just stick to running and badminton . They are so bad at putting the ball in the net.

yeh...they are always bad in offense. they try to stay in game via defense and from charity stripe

God please help me, give me overtime.

well I won't be bothered by an OT this time....

lol finally lady luck smiled at me on the last bet.

had arg-6.5 and under 160.5 for $500.

arg scored the last 2 in the dying sec of the game.

I also bet on 1st half China-2.5 & under 70.5 for $500 lol

Well that Chinese game can be forgotten about. That was just awful from them. That had 11 points after 15 minutes of basketball. But, won't dwell on it and just move on. Capping tonights games now.

YTD: 5-1

Best of luck today! How do you see Australia faring against Lithuania?

That China game was something else... I've lost many bets in my time but that was hard to watch. 

The points total looks quite high for this game, I believe it's 160+.

Both teams don't play at a lightning speed and I can see a lot of contested shots, banging inside, not many cheap looks. 

Haven't had a proper look into tonight yet though, take care of teams who are still vying for passage to the second round and teams that have already made it and basically playing in a dead rubber. 

Senegal vs Canada is really a nothing game...does Canada have enough motivation to cover 15?

15 is not much compared to aus had to cover 30.

I think Canada's speed and shooting will trouble Senegal. 

Senegal matched up well with Australia

Hello Aussie,

yeah that's the part of the game , being able to move forward.

I'm from Lyon, kinda the South but not the South, beautiful city , with a lot of history and one of the best cooking of the country.Yeah sure cote d'azur is great , I've met a lot of US people there.

no play today on FIBA aussie?
