After a successful season, when the right tips of Eurohoops on the betting collumn reached the 60%, arrived the time for the Final Four.
The Euroleague Final Four starts, the interest is huge and the choices too many for whoever wants to gamble. We will start with the semifinals and the then we will give you some long-term tips.
Fenerbahce is in excellent shape, has depth in its roster and definitely can fight the game against Real Madrid, who is weakness in defense and especially near the basket. The Turkish team seem to be the underdog of the game but for sure can win the game or lose by less than 6,5 points.
Moreover, the pace of the game will be high and considering the defensive problems of the hosts, it seems that the line on Fenerbahce‘s points is low. The Turks can score more than 75,5 points.
On the other hand, in the second semifinal the handicap of the 6,5 points in favor of Olympiacos is tricky. The Reds will try to follow low tempo basketball and the line of the 154,5 points looks too big. So, we bet on the Under option.
In addition, it isn’t worthy to bet on Real and CSKA for winning the Euroelague. In contrary, Fenerbahce is theoretically the third favorite, but if you have in mind its quality and the wiliness to get the trophy, you can bet on the Turkish team and earn a lot.
In parallel, it’s worth to bet on Drew Goudelock for first scorer in the Final Four. THe American guard of Fenerbahce is maybe the most trustworthy scorer among the four finalists, while he attempts may shots in every game. He can score a lot against any opponent.
