Lithuania set a new world record for simultaneous dribbling of Basketball’s on Monday with 60,000 people from the 2011 Eurobasket host nation easily beating the former record of 30,000 held by Poland! Equally impressive is Unibet’s coverage of the Eurobasket Championships with streaming available on every match so you can watch and bet on your favourite team, from the first round until the final!
Spain are clear favourites to win the title at 1.85, the odds on them dropping heavily since Pau Gasol announced that he would join his teammates back in Europe, in an attempt to continue their dominance. The star studded team and defending champions are looking for their second title after winning in 2009 and coming so close in 2007 when they lost 60-59 to Russia in the final.
Second favourites Lithuania can’t be underestimated after their bronze medal performance in the World Championships and are 4.50 to put on a winning display in front of their home crowd whilst France at odds of 9.00 will also be a big challenger with their All Star performer Tony Parker likely to set the court on fire!
“Even the NBA lockout could not put some of the most iconic basketball players of our time out of this year’s Eurobasket!” says Erik Backlund Head of Unibet’s Sportsbook.
“NBA champion Dirk Nowitzki’s participation has made Germany’s chances drop to 40.00, Kirilenko’s inclusion in the Russian team make them contenders at odds of 15.00 and many other stars will also be returning to represent their homelands knowing there are some all-important Olympic spots up for grabs! ”.
