FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 - Betting and Discussions

[püsür]

It's official: Serbia vs. Germany.

I'm eagerly waiting for the betting odds. I think Serbia will be the slight favorite here, but regardless, I would still bet on Serbia to win. Germany could be stopped if Schroder is limited, which might make them struggle a bit, but it's a question of how Serbia will accomplish that.

Not a big difference in the odds between Germany and Serbia, Germany is a slight favorite in some of the betting sites at 1.83 and Serbia at 1.95. Saw huge bets being placed on USA and many lost their bets. During the first two period, was expecting USA to pull back and make a substantial lead but then the third period Germany pulled away and the expectation was that they will rally back in the final period which never happened .

Wow, interesting odds. I expect Serbia's defence to stop Germany's offence. IMO, europeans could stop the america and canada but when we consider the european basketball, Serbia will probably be the better side on defense. Then it is up to the forced shots. Germany is really doing great in this tournament, so I can understand that they might seem like the favourites. But as it is pointed out, odds are really close. Semi finals were amazing to watch and nba players getting upsetting results made this tournament more enjoyable.

ML? why not, but it's not good odds though, it's just around 1.49 but if you can throw big money then maybe it will get you good returns. However, I'm thinking that Serbia might give everything they got in the semis against NBA laden Canadian team.

Maybe they will go rough and play good defense against Canada and hopefully their outside shooting will click so that the defense might spread. Canada though is going one on one with SGA. But it's not a one man team thats's why it's hard how the Serbs are going to upset them. The over and under is -/+4.5 and there could be more money in that odds.

And you were right. It was a total domination by Serbia against the NBA-laden team of Canada. Overall it was not a bad performance by Canada, it's just that they could not keep up the pace of the Serbs. NBA players are known to be more physical, athletic, and defensive but they were shocked at how Serbia beat them in their own game. Canada still had good shots in the basket but damn, the huge accuracy by the Serbs is unbelievable. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was limited to just below 20 points compared to his previous 30+ points.

Coming up next. The USA is a big favorite over Germany. An upset is not out of the table but I do hope we'll see an exciting game.

Serbia is a better "team" whereas Canada just has good players. That's the difference in these global cups, when we are talking about something that is a bit more personal and it looks like we are going to see teams matter more. Serbia can play amazingly together, and not like they had no NBA players, Bogdan was there, and I believe that we are going to see them do very well on the finals as well.

When you try to put all the ball into a few players hands and tell others to just defend, that's not going to be good, plus these people play together more commonly, and that means that they are going to do fine, most other nations end up playing well together because they have history, Canada didn't had that at all.

Too bad for USA for losing at a very close game, I really though they will be the one heading to the final but again, this is very unpredictable.
Now playing with Serbia, I think this will not be an easy game and the way Germany played against USA, they can have a good chance of winning over Serbia.
I see Serbia as a solid team as well, and because of that I will also take the risk and will take a bet to Serbia just to get back my losses for betting with USA.

It will be a different game because it wont be so much open and so much running on the floar. Serbia has a good defence and Germany wont have easy shots like they did against USA. The odds are slightly in favor of Germany but it could go either way. Im going with Serbia because they defeated o most everyone really hard

Wanted to see the US play in the Finals but Germany was the better team today.  I actually wanted to see US vs Canada in the finals so at least we will get to see that.  As a knick fan it will be fun to see j brunsen and rj compete against each other.  Haven't checked but the odds got to be almost even on that game no?

Still a great experience for the youngster, they still have the chance to finish in 3rd and that will be against Canada after all. Germany did their assignment very well and execute it the way they wanted it. Germany will finish the World cup at a better position and finishing the title chase since 2002 after finishing 3rd, now they have the chance to get their first ever title with FIBA. This will be an exciting one and let’s see how Serbia prepares for this.

I lost all of my bets well you can really never tell the outcome of the game and there are really monster teams outside of the NBA in what I see in these Fiba games or maybe because their chemistry was something we should not underestimate aswell and both teams if you examine their team they are link 2 teams that combined to be one so they have known each other and each other's playing pattern that is why their movement is so slick what I notice about Serbia and Germany team, surely if I have known this ahead maybe there can be a different outcome but surely I am surely witnessing these teams 1st hand,


Here are the results of my bet for today's game,

Serbia VS Canada SCORE 95 - 86 - LOST

It was a grueling defeat Serbia knew who and when to place their defense they had to Stop Shai Gilgeious-Alexander from his track but he just managed to put in only 15 points in this game while RJ Barrett smoked in with 23 points but it was not enough as Serbia has managed to get the game on their track with their spread of points towards this game it was Ognjen Dobric 16 points and Nikola Milutinov has a double-double of 10 rebounds and 16 points,

USA VS Germany SCORE 111 - 113 - LOST

Actually, it was a close match I feel OK with the results but not my bet, I thought the USA could manage to make a comeback but Germany's lead was so large that the USA could not do anything to recover but Daniel Theis and Franz Wagner did a great job in making the lead, closer and I think that is a great thing for them to do, in making it that way but still the USA lost to Germany

Well, that's what everyone else are expecting to see in the finals but unfortunately 2 other teams have played on a much higher level than Canada and USA. I wasn't so surprised about this upset though, wel all know this isn't the best team the USA has. This roster is like the team C for the team USA. In that case, they are really being over confident in still dominating the international stage, unfortunately European teams were tough.
Let's see who they are gonna be sending next Fiba world cup. Is there a Redeem team 2? Will LeBron play in the Olympics?

There are indeed monsters outside NBA and extremely great players as well, these players that are representing the aren't the best of the NBA rather, the best of the lower 30/35% ? right, I would not associated Canada and USA's loss to the fact that it's due to better players than those of NBA, because these losses can be said to have been facilitated by the NBA players from the opposing teams, I know basketball doesn't evolve around NBA alone and there are other fantastic and players out there in Europe and Asia or other parts of the world that will dominate in the NBA.

However, the USA or Canadian national basketball team is never a standard to hold or judge the NBA by, in my candid opinion.

I doubt Lebron James will play in the Olympics, he is done with that.
IMO, the team they sent is not Team C of the NBA. These are the rising stars of the league and they want them to experience the world competition. I bet they learned a lot of lessons after their loss against Germany.
Basketball doesn't only rotate in the NBA, the Euroleague is also a competitive place and that is why many NBA stars now are Europeans.
Their defense is so weak and I think they forgot that it is also part of the game. Team USA always relied on their offensive power and that was given but Germany didn't stop by just using offense as their weapon, they used their strong defense too.

About who will they send for the Olympics, there's a chance it's the same roster but I bet it will be much stronger because of what happened yesterday. These players would want to redeem themselves too so they might push the management to send them again.

Yes, and to add to that, it just shows that defense win games, we have heard this to a lot o great coaches in the past, everything started with D and then the offense will come. And it also shows that the Euro League is catching up or at least at par with the NBA and that's why we have seen a lot of European now in the NBA dominating.

Luka even once said that it's easy to score in the NBA, maybe the defense of NBA is not there yet with some of the EU league or it's just the EU has very different style that's why the NBA players are not used to it in this FIBA.

And just like that, USA and Canada are out, ouch. Yeah, I know, some of us might have lost their bet for sure as this tournament turns out to be one of the most unpredictable as there are many surprises for us bettors.

I think Serbia have shown that they can step up their game, play good defense and then showcase their outside shooting. For team Germany, Dennis will have to carry or at least have like double double, specially in the assists department. He needs everyone to contribute to be able to beat the Serbians.

Many of us lose to bets because we predict Canada and USA go to the final or at least one of them but it turns out that all our predictions are wrong
For Germany and Serbia we don't know who will win but Germany should be more feasible because through strong opponents like USA
Tomorrow we will see who the winner and I will monitor the betting market at total points.

Me too. Gonna choose Serbia's basketball team this time even though it was quite surprise that Germany beat the USA in the semi-finals. Serbia has been doing really well in the tournament showing great teamwork and skill (chemistry > talent). I'm looking forward to seeing how they do in the FIBA Finals and hoping they can win this time and won;t happen last time that United States defeated Serbia, 129-92 on FIBA World Cup 2014!

I think everyone will be rooting for Serbia now, after they massive upset that they have done in Fiba. and I agree and that's what we have been saying, team chemistry will always beat a team with talent.

For sure, even though both US and Canada are out, there are going to be basketball fans that are going to watch this finals no matter what. It will be a great battle, but I think Serbia will come on top of a very close game.

Many are now in favor with them since imagine that without Jokic they still manage to reach this far so I guess they are the one who have higher chance to be the champion.  Many thought that US is the one have greater advantage but European ball clubs proves that they have great talents and they can upset anyone especially those american guys who play on the top league. To many discussion about big upset happen to US but atleast they still got a spot on olympics.

Very different style of bastketball resulting in the US getting upset again in International tournament. And yes, even without the NBA champion and former MVP in Jokic, the Serbs serves the US a big lost in FIBA eliminating them for the gold medal.

For sure it will hurt for the team and the coaching staff as they are the heavy favorite in this tournament. But now, it's going to be Serbia now, but it's a big surprised to see that Germany is the slim favorite.

US sent new guys in NBA so even if they are talented still they are new on the league that's why they are been eliminated by those veterans. There's a rumor that on upcoming olympics Lebron and other NBA superstars commit to play so for that maybe we can see a difference on the gameplay since this guys can dominate their opponents. So lets see if we can see some good roster adjustment on upcoming olympics on side of USA.

The Serbs served the US a big loss? I guess we have seen different games. 

What a game, I watched it with German friends via conference call and we couldn't help but scream at the end. We knew we had a chance, we knew we had the better team (not better players individually), and our team pulled it off.

The end was so wild and some joke calls by the refs but in the end justice prevailed.

The final will be just as hard as Serbia is a real TEAM with great talent. It's totally a 50/50 game and only daily performance will decide the winner. Any off day of a big go-to player can make a big difference.

And my 40:1 bet on Germany, even if it was just with 20$, paid out well now.

Both really are unpredictable and it wasn't expected that they'll be the teams to reach the finals. I'm on that thought of what if is Jokic was even part of the national team of Serbia then for sure that many will choose them as the favorites.

The odds for this match aren't that much and it seems that they're just equal. It's hard to have an insight when odds are like this.

You'll never know what could happen tomorrow but both Germany and Serbia deserve to be there when everybody thought that it's Canada and USA that will face in the finals.
