I know we have a lot of threads on here as it is but I figured this one would be interesting where we can share our predictions in all the Serbian related sports and outside such as EPL and what not. Also a /betting thread where we can exchange stories on how much money we made :) or lost :cry:

I had a motivation for this thread after seeing all the excitements that's to come in September. It's definitely going to be hard on the heart but i'll start off with the predictions.

EP WaterPolo- Gold (7-6) It's either going to be a Montenegro-Croatia final or Serbia-Croatia final. I can't see anything else happening here and if we do make it to the finals I think the Croats will choke at their own home. Too much pressure on their players while we have nothing to lose considering we're not the reigning champions(Montenegro).

SP Basketball- Silver (70-64) With the form we are in and the Ivkovic at charge along with our talented youngster I don't see anything less than Semis but i'll even take it one step further and say we reach the finals(if we don't play Spain in the semis) Even without Pau I think Spain have incredible debt and team chemistry. Their gameplay doesn't suit us and I think we would fair against the inexperienced USA better than Spain. Spain to win gold comfortably. Also, if you look at the previous World Championships in basketball USA has hardly done anything.

SP Volleyball- Gold (straight sets) Again, anything less than Semi's would be a dissapointment. I think this team has what it takes to take it to the next level and take out Brazil. It's payback this time and the only teams I see causing us trouble are Russia and Brazil.

US Open- Nole(Final) Jelena(Semis) Ana(3rd round) Tipsarevic(2nd round) Troicki(3rd round)

Nole- If he plays the same tennis he played at the Rogers cup against Pederer then we will see quite a showing from him. I also believe his conditioning has improved. He looks in much better shape than in the previous majors. Fed or Nadal to take title.

Jelena- She always likes to show off at the US Open and she tries extra hard here because all her American friends are watching. The women's draw is completely unpredictable and anything can happen but we'll see.

Ana- I think she'll be back again one day but not this year that's for sure. She played some inspiring tennis recently but she's not physically ready to be in the top ten yet.

Tipsarevic- Unpredictable but doesn't fair well at the US Open usually. His level of tennis is dropping recently.

Troicki- Has improved a lot since last year. I think he could even suprise and make it a round further. We'll see how his ambitions fair.

EP Football- Serbia vs Faroe Islands (4-0) Anything other than a win and Antic should resign from football forever. I think the Greece game was enough of a humilation for him and our nation. I'm expecting a new lineup. I'm expecting some new faces in the starting lineup(Tosic&Lazovic) and i'm expecting our players to go full intensity the whole 90 minutes. The first game dictates everything. I'm glad we have an easy game first round and rarely does Antic ever underestimate our opponents which is one of his quality traits and why I predicted a 4-0 smashing at home.



Betting: I don't bet not because I don't gamble but because I don't fully understand it yet. Seems tricky but I know a lot of people who constantly come out with more money than they put in every month. Guess it takes practice.


Would love to hear everyones predictions though.

And RSF- You better not close my thread you old bastard :ass:

Multiple small bets is the way to go if you don't want to take risks or bet large amounts. I only lose when I make some cocky absurd prediction. I'm only good at predicting safe games but risky games always **** me over.

The same guy keeps winning at my local convenience store, he makes 20 bets and puts $20 on 2 events on each one( always the same hockey sure shot paired with a different NFL game) I think I'm going to try it.

I have a BIG feeling Liverpool and CSKA are going to fuck me over but we'll see. The rest are pretty reasonable. Utrecht is in really good form but they're playing away so I don't see them winning but I can't see them conceeding with how well their defense has been playing together.

Borussia Dortmund are also favorites to win but they had a tough weekend match where they barely won in the 90th minute. Hopefully Subotic slips up :p

$200 wager on a ten team parlay? :O
You must have a really good job :)

That's very reasonable. I think the only game that will **** you over is Panathinaikos v Rubin Kazan. I know PAOK is playing at home but they've beeen SHIT in Europe this summer.

Nice call with the Basel victory

I don't bet on CL games unless things are really clear. I never bet on German or Italian football. English is very easy for me as things are quite predicable, each team has it's own "story".

I heard some maniac bet that no more than 2.5 goals would be scored in any JSL game a few weeks ago. He became fairly rich.

Nibble if you win that one you need to shout us all haha
