FIBA Basketball World Cup 2019

[hulla]

My prediction for semi-final matches is victory of Argentina and Australia. 
I watched both Argentina vs Serbia and United States vs France. However France did a great job and defeated the defending champions, United States, I expect they lose to Argentina.
Argentina has won all the previous matches by at least 10 points and I think they will remain undefeated and will qualify for the Final.
Also, Australia will overcome Spain. Spain performance has not been as good as I expected. They had some difficult wins even in the first group stage. Australia will win Spain and will face Argentina at the final.

I have both teams opposing them to be winning the semi-final round. Argentina might be leading by 10 points against all of their matches but it doesn't prove anything that France whom just defeated the USA team can be defeated by them also. They are a talented team but their only former NBA talent right now is Luis Scola who will be matched against Rudy Gobert which I don't think he will score easily over him. Australia although having more NBA players in the team cannot top the star players of Spain in the Euroleague have so I am leaning towards them winning this round.

Never say never because strange and marvel things are happening these days in the FIBA tournament. Mind you, all qualified team didn't come to China to play but to make an impact/win the trophy. But, I expect France and Spain to proceed to the final stage of the tournament which is my prediction.

Should serve lesson now to Team USA not to take the World Cup lightly. I don't know though if losing to World Cup will have an effect on the "business-minded" superstars of the NBA that should be on their roster and if they will decide now to participate next World Cup.

If they care for the honor and pride of their country's basketball team, they wouldn't belittle the next world cup.

Next time, they will take time to send and propose to the accurate players that we would want to watch and superstars of the league. Regardless of taking lightly or not, this is truly a big lesson for them and I think players from there will have that thought of giving their country's glory back.

I lose my live bet in the US vs Serbia match, I put a like bet at US ML during the break because I thought they will be able to continue their momentum in the 2nd half, but I was wrong, they are still the same weak team I saw when they played against France, bad bet.

That's what we called lack of experience mate, the US team is young though they play good basketball but still inexperience to international basketball.

Anyways, take back your losses on today's games. Argentina vs France, i choose Argentina here. Damn, i love underdogs because i would win more when i bet on them.

Good luck mate but I'm on the other side, if you win, you'll get a better which is at least 200% return of your bet.

Try to bet also with these odds "Winning Margin (incl. overtime)"

Argentina +11  @12.00
Argentina 16-20 @40
Argentina +26 @100

Those are great odds, we saw what serbians did to us, they were up more 20 points at some point in the game, what if in this game Argentina will win up more than 20 points.

I think France has a good chance now. I mean they will play with Argentina and I think Argentina played their best game and now will be eliminated, France looks strong and going very well with both a great team play but also awesome individual talents as well.

On the other side Australia and Spain are both amazing teams, they will beat each other and one of them will be eliminated anyway, doesn't matter which one, it is a shame that they will cancel each other out and only one will come up. That means France will play with a team who is tired after playing an amazing team and came all the way here whereas they will have the superb hype of beating USA and Argentinian which beat Serbia. Hence, from now on my favorite is France but this world cup has been wild so I don't know what will happen anymore.

You seemed to be sure that Argentina will be eliminated by France? Remember that Argentina beats Serbia which is more competitive than team USA. So don't go understimating them since the ball is round and everything can happen in the court. Anyways, there is still Australia and Spain who played great basketball in this FIBAWC which means these top four teams are both formidable.

We are all sure with the team we choose but it doesn't mean we are correct.
If I am not mistaken here, we are not just enjoying the action by watching them in live TV but we are also betting as well, so it's normal to feel confident as we are risking our money here.

These 4 teams are the best teams in the competition because they reached at this level but there's only one team that will have to win to be champion, at this stage, it's all about how the coach would design plays to adjust and take a win, its gonna be like a cheese match.

Honestly, choosing the USA as a winner of any game in this tournament doesn't seem right because they have already lost their chance of proceeding to the semi-final and they have already qualified for the Olympic game so I wouldn't be surprised if they turn out to be weak in other to pave for another team to qualify for the Olympic game.

This will be the best time now for me to pick from FIBA Futures. Thanks to Team France for dethroning the Team USA as it now allows me to pick.. (secret) without hesitation (I believed that even Team USA is composed of young cores who is new to World Cup, makes me think that they will be the most dominant even how strong other teams is). I will share it if I won but if I'm not able to share it here, definitely I lose lol. Odds provided for futures seem to be great and these final 4 are all deserving to win. After the semi-finals and obviously at the Finals, these odds surely be lowered.

Right now, I see Nitrogensports offers a quite good odds compare to my other preferred sports betting site which is sportsbet.io. I will choose NitrogenSports for now in terms of betting with FIBA Futures.

Even Argentina upsets the much stronger Serbia, they were still given that kind of best odds.

These odds are tempting especially for Argentina. Thinking of putting some but still on doubt.

Jackpot if that would happen, though possible but the chance is very slim on this stage of the competition. Semis and finals game are close historically though there are blow out games that i saw and ironically it is Argentina on the losing end. I prefer just the ML here because they are the underdogs and would gladly take that more than 200% return of my bet  .

It was a crazy game. The scorecard after the 1st quarter was difficult to believe (32-7 in favor of Serbia). It looked like the United States was undergoing a complete meltdown. But to their credit, they came back strongly in the second quarter (12-33). But in the end Serbia was able to pull out a narrow victory, taking advantage of the inexperience of the American players.

For me, Spain is now the sole tournament favorite, after the exits made by other teams such as the United States, Serbia, Greece, Brazil.etc I would say that France and Australia have equal chances, and Argentina is having the least probability of winning this tournament. But nothing is sure, as this tournament has been full of surprises.

After the lose of team USA again for their opponent Serbia, they also got down into placings. If i’m not wrong this would be the lowest finished placing that USA will ever get for all the FIBA series.

I’m pretty much sure that team USA will revenge for the upcoming Olympic in Tokyo and will go through the best line-up they can ever go. It’s unfortunate for team USA because Lebron James and Anthony Davis are backed out and can’t play for the next Olympic in Tokyo, and even Kevin Durant who’s in injured as of now.

France might have the advantage against Argentina but @1.3 odds, it's more painful to lose here if ever they will be upset compare losing while betting on Argentina since we already know the risks betting for thid team unlike in France that you are comfortable to win no matter what. Because of that, I will not place a bet on ML for this match.

About Australia, sure you have chances with that high odds. Australia vs Spain is unpredictable.

True, the odds for ML is bad, we won't get a good value on that one, if we believe France will win, they can win it with a great margin, so -6.5 @1.95 odds currently is still a good line for me, so I would not hesitate betting on them.

About Australia, sure you have chances with that high odds. Australia vs Spain is unpredictable.

But as of the moment, it seems like Australia vs Spain will start soon, looks like this is a good game also, and I like to bet on Australia to win by 6+ points, that's x4 and my sportsbook.


First half is over, australia in the lead, hopefully I will win this 6+.

[rosezionjohn]

A close match between Australia and Spain after three quarters. Ricky Rubio keeping Spain well in the match. I am still rooting for Australia to go to the Finals

End of third quarter mate and the score is 51-55 in favor of Australia, looks like we are on the road for another upset today though there is lot of time left.

Good luck, did you bet on the Australia to win this game?
I believe Spain hasn't been able to make a big run yet, that's because of the good defense of the Australians, it's 4th quarter already and the Spain are trying to make it a close game, but let's see if they will be able to do that, the way I see it now, it looks like Australia will win this game.

Delly doing some great hustling on the court and giving the Aussies a couple of second chance points. He The Goat

Five minutes left before they go to the Finals!
