It’s a no-brainer! The heavy favorites to win an Olympic gold medal for Men’s Basketball in the
2008 Beijing Olympics are the USA Men’s Basketball Team. Team USA has a roster of awesome NBA All-Stars that include the likes of 2007 NBA MVP
Kobe Bryant,
Lebron James, Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade, Carlos Boozer, Chris Paul, Chris Bosh, Dwight Howard, Deron Williams, Jason Kidd, Tayshaun Prince and Michael Redd.
USA are being given -350 odds in the betting lines as the outright winner of the olympic gold medal in Men’s Basketball. A bet on USA pays out 20 to 30%, which is a very good sports betting investment that rewards better than a savings bank account.
The USA will be facing China in their first game in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and the USA are being given a -33.5 point spread to cover against China. The point spread looks very big indeed, and covering 33.5 points is no easy task for the USA, who will be going up against the likes of Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian. But then, if there’s a team that can cover a 33.5 point spread, then it has got to be the USA.
Other odds on who will be the outright winner of the Olympic Gold Medal in Men’s Basketball for the 2008 Beijing Olympics include: Spain (+400) and Argentina (+550).
Oddsmakers are expecting that the finals of Men’s Basketball in the 2008 Beijing Olympics will be fought between USA vs Spain.
