As the FIBA World Championship Approaches, futures betting has gotten hotter and there’s a lot to digest in terms of odds and trends. Here we break down the key takeaways and provide an overview of where the smart money is going.
line movement (open to electricity)
- US -165 to -120
- France +1000 to +700
- Canada +1400 to +1000
Canada opened with +1400 Odds, but those odds have decreased to +1000 due to the increased betting offer. It is interesting to note that despite having a relatively high opening line, Canada has attracted a large number of players 39.8% of the tickets, what shows the way. Her 14.3% grip suggests that while they attract a lot of bets, the stakes are smaller. Perhaps bettors are trying to take advantage of Canada’s desirable odds. This suggests that bettors are bullish on Canada’s odds and are willing to back them at the current odds.
Highest Ticket Percentage
- Canada 39.8%
- United States 28.9%
- France 6.0%
The USAUnsurprisingly, they started out as strong favorites at odds of -165 and are still at it -120. They dominate the betting scene, largely due to their appeal 28.9% of the tickets, but dominating the money stakes with a whopping sum 82.1% of grip. Many bettors believe the USA are the team to beat and are betting big on it.
highest grip %
- United States 82.1%
- Canadian 14.3%
- France 1.2%
Franceanother strong contender, started around +1000 quotas and has seen these quotas shorten to +700. Despite the change in odds, they have attracted a relatively small number 6.0% of tickets and only 1.2% of grip. It’s unclear whether the low interest in betting is due to a lack of confidence in France, or if bettors are simply waiting for better odds.
Slovenia open at +1000 But the chances are gone +1600. The change suggests that bettors have cooled Slovenia’s odds, which is reflected in the 4.8% of tickets And 0.3% of the handle they have dressed.
Serbia started at +500 Opportunities and has seen a clear trend +1400. The move must be a direct response to that Nikola Jokić decided to skip the tournament at the end of July. Despite the drift, they have tightened properly 3.6% of tickets And 1.0% of grip. This suggests that some bettors still see value in Serbia at the current odds.
First at +900, Australia The odds have hardly changed and are now attached +1000. You have dressed 2.4% of tickets And 0.3% of the handlesuggesting that bettors are a little wary of their odds.
Despite being a historically strong team, Spain open at +1100 and has drifted away +1400 Opportunities. You have attracted a modest 2.4% of tickets And 0.2% of gripwhich may indicate skepticism about their chances.
Last, Greece open at +900 and has clearly deviated +2500 Opportunities. Greece appeared to have a good chance of at least catching up with the all-world star Giannis Antetokounmpo in the squad but his announcement a few weeks ago that he won’t be playing is the main reason for the falling ratings. This move appears to have had an impact on betting interest as they have only tightened 1.2% of tickets And 0.1% of handle.
Greatest Liability
While the Americans dominate the race, Canada has the highest ticket quota. France and Serbia are potentially dark horses with the potential to add value, while Greece appears to be losing favor with bettors.
