W volleyball

Painful this all asian battle, squeaky

Yep, The same mugfest than a few days ago between china and korea, absolute joke.

Still wondering why china was 1,25 SP. Studied their stats and respective results and it just didnt make sense. But switched to china early when they had point advantage, then it looked like they were controlling the match but bottled several Set points. Almost same scenario in 2nd set but lead was enough this time. Their trainer is an absolute idiot for not calling a timeout earlier in that kind of situations.

Choked again from 20-17 stupid chinese c*nts

it's the nature of the game, each point is a cointoss and understandably so.  Amazing how even the match is yet the market was all over china.
China are number 1 hence why favourite, but on evidence in this match they should be evens.

It is not choking or bottling, this is volleyball and often good tactics or solid defense on Japans part...

In mens volleyball double break is pretty solid and you dont have so many swings, thats why I compare it to WTA. they dont take advantage of receiving points.

I followed quite a few matches over the years and can say the asiatic teams choke much more often than other parts of the world.

Anyway that said, I couldn't believe the score was even with Japan a set up and China were favourites, then after China won 2nd set you had to back Japan, China's price bouncing around 1.3-1.5 with no discernable advantage.  Looking to get on Japan here for a good comeback eventually.

China favourite 2-1 down....leading game 6-4 which means nothing at the moment..

I was green but re-entered at 1,28 with 3 points lead, which i considered a good prize as there was a high chance they would win the set and market would certianly have gone 1,12-1,15 at 2-1 sets, because fking market is always married to SP, even if its wrong.

But Japan came back magnificently in the 1st set, and the stats seem almost identical, I would bet on turnarounds not leads...

At 2-1 I am forced to switch @ 1,8, excellent prize to win 1 of 2 next sets, after all what happened so far. Of  course now th chinese c*nts keep cruising with 3-4 points for the first time of the match. But I stay with japan till the end in this one.

But what happens if it's 2-2, surely Japan should be evens?

yeah fking magic turnarounds at the perfect magic time 2x almost same situation. Thought china had learnt their lesson ag. korea where they did a similar scenario.

Nope not evens because of momentum china if they win set 4. market will make china 1,5 but correct is 1,75

Well it might not even get to that, market seems completely empty when Japan look like winning, nobody believes in them...

Another choke underway maybe. market will go on tilt if japan goes 1 pt ahead.

market woken up, but Japan should still be lower IMO.

Do you even understand what the word "choke" means??

Finally deleveraging from some too optimistic punters. market correcting now.

I think i know tsango. When you cant keep a serious lead 3/3 sets, then their is a mental problem somewhere.

choke is losing points while leading (forum definition) not falling apart at the seams (worldly definition)

not necessarily punter, surely if you can take a lead, you can be pegged back?

massive value on China well above evens...

massive chunk of green going for me unless china win 4th

MP or set points will be massive swings here.

1,65 lol

sorted, out of this match, unless someone gets a 5 point lead

What a massive 5th set big swings. Japan saved me form a bigger loss than 80 down.

Russia-brazil, same meltdown from positions where men win set )90% of time.

Do you know why every team has a token midget?

Russia definitely the hottest team, I go for them to win.

2nd set 19-12 brasil => 19-17

Brazil always needs one set to get warm and find inspiration. Will be a tight affair but think razil can do it if they keep that roll.

considering brazil had set point in the 1st set, they should be slight favorite at 1-1, or not far from.

No ?

Current Olympic champions 2nd favourite at 1-1

neither do I punter

4 years ago, long time in this sport. market never learn, already forgotten what happened to china earlier.

see you in greenland :)

1 successful block by Brazil that set, can't see anything other than a Russian win here, either 4th or 5th set.

Who knows, this is WTA, stopped to look for any logic, its all mental, and from that point W are all retards 99%.

Why are they trying to get the crowd to sing Robbie Williams?  Brazilians and Russians probably don't understand the words...

Last volley trade for me, courtsiders too much advantage now and killing another market.

sssssssssssssswing

Of course a russian meltdown out of nowhere. and brazil couldnt give a sht when it mattered in 3rd. Im soon waiting in hell for all these fixing sl*ts and motherfkers.

I think if you were meeting the Russian and Brazilian women volleyball teams you'd be closer to heaven mate

haha, he says 'and it feels like they won the olympic gold all over again and its only the semi finals'

and....there's still the 5th set

fk me the market is spastic, I wouldn't offer anything on here.  Brazil from 1.1 to Russia being 1.3 anyone who had red has certainly been able to green.

back Russia 1.75 lay 1.5 back 1.75 lay 1.5, when is this gonna end

wasn't involved in that break, Russia were 1.5 without the set point!

wow what an ending!  Brazil win, can't predict this stuff for the life of me.  Easy game to bet on - lay below evens or back above.

1st game Russia lost since the start of 2012.

i can confidently predict it won't be 5 sets in the usa match!

Same, 3-0 is a gift.

Seems the pretty team loses, bout the most sound strategy I can come up with

i prefer most of the us team looks-wise so your strategy doesn't work!
