Sleepless Night

Spain/Croatia U149 +119 (1.5)
Croatia +12 +115 (1)

I put these in early and the lines have shot up Croatia is now +13.5 and the total is 150.5, this guarantees that Croatia will lose by 13 and the total will fall on 150. This double screwjob is so monumental that I will not be able to fall asleep tonight. There will be a live blog to document the misery. Might have a play on the Greeks later.

Olympic Leans

Croatia +12
Croatia/Spain U149

Spain averages 80 ppg, Croatia averages high 70s (with the Argentina game!), so of course this game will sail over easily. Plus Ricky Rubio is a stud, he alone will lead Spain to a high scoring blowout against the overmatched Croatian squad.

Olympic Hoops Action

Spain/Angola U156.5 -110 (.5)
Russia +8 +111 (1)

I've seen nothing but love for the Spain/Angola over and Argentina. When I first saw the lines that Argentina one stuck out and I knew I would unfortunately be backing the Federation. If they can only play with the vigor they showed in the final seconds against Iran I might have a chance.

I also don't think I'll touch the Germany/USA game, thought I might be backing Deutschland, but the consensus was divided.

Beijing Bball

Iran +30.5 +104 (1)
Croatia +8.5 -102 (.5)

Iran will be down the spread at half and Croatia will score 53 points again.

Olympic Size Leans

Iran +30 over Argentina

this is one that stands out to me, Iran has played some stellar ball this tournament (and by stellar I mean they look like complete shit) and Argentina has completely handled Australia and Croatia there last two times out.

Also looking at Spain +15 and Croatia +8, but I'll see how things develop, i.e. how much money I want to lose.

If I was smart I would bet on all they favorites, since they are going to win all the games for this next session.
