Got rekt with that US vs Greece game so here is my take on the coming match-up between Greece and Czech Rep....
US had a hard time beating Czech Republic,
Greece loses to Brazil on a thriller,
US dominated Greece,
Czech Republic dumped Brazil,
So with ^^ game results i am convinced that Greece would be having a hard time against Czech Republic and i'm betting on that and if bookies would have Greece as the favorite, i would gladly take the handicap in case the game would be close.
IMO, Greece is over hyped with the leadership of Giannis, he can't do it alone and he need help, someone who could knock down those open 3's to loosen the defense thrown by the opponent on Giannis. Fearless forecast, Greece won't make it to the semis.

I think Greece won't have a problem beating the Czech Rep. and +12pts is quite in they reach.
Czechs had a great day and shot extremely high % for 2s and 3s against Brazil, I honestly don't expect from them to match that performance again.

So from what I understand in that group, Brazil losing means they have the same amount of wins and losses with Greece and Czechia however they have less difference between point scored and points conceded and they will lose another game to USA which means they will for surely get eliminated. Then Czechia will lose to Greece (at least that is what the consensus is) and Greece will have same amount of points with them, so USA will go to next stage and the one that has more point difference between Czechia and Greece will go to next stage with USA. Is that correct?
The teams that got eliminated are having their games at the same time as well, I don't know what will happen in the end and who will go to Olympics but its going around like a whole different side tourney at the same time.

Thats correct - provided Brazil will loose vs USA. If Czech Republic looses with less than 12 pts margin, Greece will be eliminated, otherwise Greece will advance.

Czech Republic is really playing well and better than I was expected. Victory against Brazil by 22 points was a great result for Czech Republic. I expected a close game.
United States performance isn't as well as I expected. However their performance in today's match has made their performance more hopeful of next round.
I expect United States to win Brazil by a high point difference. Czech Republic will be likely the runner-ups of group H, however Greece has chance to advance to next round.
If Greece manage to win Czech Republic, they will have 8 points equal to points of Greece and Brazil and the runner-ups will be determined by head to head matches.
My prediction is United States and Czech Republic will be the winner and runners-up respectively.

I don't neglect the fact that Czech Republic is on a great form.
However I don't think that they are going to win the match against Greece.
Giannis is in amazing form and it seems like he won't have any problem on the basket.
I just wonder if they are going to win with a big difference of points scored.

Greece needs to win with a 12 pts margin vs Czech Republic in order to advance, provided the USA beat Brazil.

No, because the scores depends on the team they played...
Clever but its not actually easy to predict outcome even you did some kinds of this arithmetic calculations...
Both of you are right. My experiment didn't work 100%. But out of my four bets using that strategy, I made 3.
Won- Under 165.5 Australia - Dominican Republic
Won- Over 161.5 Brazil - Czech Republic
Won- Over 151.5 France - Lithuania
Lost- Over 165.5 USA - Greece
However, after reviewing my bets on Over/Under, I realized that my strategy was not significant in my wins. Most of my wins on Over/Under were basically out of pure luck. In Brazil vs. Czech Republic, for example, the determining factor was only the 4th quarter, in which both teams, especially Brazil, made points way above their average in the first 3 quarters.
This is perhaps the most exciting match in the tournament so far. In my country, the matches are not available on cable TV. However, they are freely available on mobile streaming. Watching on my mobile right now... USA is off to a good start, and they are leading by 2 points now (19-17). The first quarter is over, and there was a strong comeback by Greece. They took the score from 19-13 to 19-17 during the last few seconds.
Watching it live now on Facebook. I'm not just sure if it's allowed to say the name here of that group who streaming the video. There are lots.
Currently now at halftime. The score is 38-25 USA. After that close score in 1Q 19-17, USA now outscored Greece 19-8 at 2Q.
Greece needs to work hard. It's hard to bounce back whenever the USA got that margin of lead.
Giannis made an amazing match, but it wasn't enough for giving Greece the win.
Still, they have their chances to qualify if they win Czech Republic.
What a heart breaking Lithuania loss to France. We were trailing by 17, but made amazing comeback. And on last seconds we were robbed by referees. I can't video now, but if you watched match, you saw it... We go home just after 2nd round. While Poland will play in 1/4 final...

Yeah, very disciplined US team today - now we need a miracle really and the match so far looks not very promising...

In one of the most crucial matches in Group L, France is currently leading against Lithuania by 10 points with 20 minutes to go. And so far, United States is looking comfortable against Greece. They have built a lead of 9 points (29-20) and may end up winning this match quite comfortably. That means that Greece would remain at the bottom of Group K.
I don't know how strong current USA team is.USA in basketball are usually the best but i think these players are playing together like a one team first time in his life
In theory USA could be better every game but it is just theory
Very interesting tournament.My favorites to gold is Spain and Serbia.USA will be is in semifinal can't imagine different and we will see what iUSA team is worth then

People love USA no matter who their current roster are, it's just that they are so popular because they have been dominating the worldwide sports competition particularly this FIBA would cup.
Now they are playing against the greece and it looks like USA soon will have a double digit lead.
People think that Greece can compete because they have the MVP in them, but let's see how this will end up.

BRA-CZE 32:45 at HT - still way to go... but CZE seems to do Greece a big favor if they win this!
Okay... Chech Republic seems to be winning this and with a huge point different. Currently they are ahead with 26 points.
Now I hope that Greece is going to with USA and let the group be on fire!
I am very confident Greece will win vs Czech Republic so even a loss today isnt as bad as it would have been - man, I love CZE!
Brazil became just too arrogant after their wins...I think that we should not underestimate Czech Republic.
I mean, they have already won two strong teams Brazil and Turkey.
The match between Greece and Czech Republic will be a difficult one for the Greeks.
Both teams are strong yet, czech republic has shown that they are more formidable than the Greeks. Anyways, good luck to both team and I will go for the Greeks this time around.
If someone not aware of what game we have right now.
Check USA vs. Greece
It's happening now.

Remember my words - Hellas will win vs CZE. They will suit us.
Goodluck to your Hellas mate, i've got a feeling that this would be close so my bet is Greece 9.5. 
I want to ask your thoughts on this.
I am trying to use a little arithmetic in my Over/Under bets today. Let's say in the match between USA and Greece. I took the average scores in their previous five matches, add them up, and will place my Over/Under bet based on it.
So, based on their last 5 games, USA has an average of 94.8 points per game while Greece has 83.2 points. The total would be 178 points. Therefore, betting on Over 165.5 is a wise decision.
Is this right? Or am I just wasting my time on this strategy? LOL. Thanks!
Clever but its not actually easy to predict outcome even you did some kinds of this arithmetic calculations mostly it depends on the aggressiveness of a team to score not almost the same in every game so your strategy maybe right or wrong if we based on your strategy then if probability of winning is always 95% then most sportsbooks will got bankrupt.
