Not bookies. it's not like people can't blindly bet which influences odds... The clear favorite is China. I think Serbia and Italy are still ahead of the USA, from a volleyball standpoint, not a betting one. |

Bad lines can cost the sportsbook a LOT of money. I trust their opinion even more than my own eyes. |

Serbia’s left side offense is a problem even if Boskovic keeps saving them. Without Maja this team would be a mess. So lucky to have her |

I thought the odds are mostly dependent on the betters rather than the bookies who start the odds at an inital number that is a starting bid or something and ideally set to get people betting on both sides as much as possible. id one side gets bet heavy then the odd change to adjust payouts so the sports books make their money when more people bet regardless of outcome. |

I'm not the gambling type. I don't go to casinos. When I was on a trip to Las Vegas one time, I never actually step foot into the casino section of the hotel, I was more into the shows and going to see Grand Canyon nearby. The only type of gambling I did was betting on horse races, but that's another story. So all I will say on the volleyball betting is...may the best team wins.
And speaking of that, man I can't wait to see Olympic volleyball starts. Its been too long. And it sure will cheer us up after everything that we have gone through in the last year and a half, with the pandemic and all. The anticipation...I can't bear it much longer.

I just watched Italy vs. Canada in the Men's tournament and the audio was out of synch the ENTIRE match with the video. It was ahead by quite a bit. So I hope they get this crap fixed and fast.

NBC must be having issues with the world feed. I have beach on now and thats out of sync. I was checking other spots (handball, badminton) and they had audio issues too. Im hoping since USA womens will be a NBC production, that it will be okay |

It happened on softball too and beach volleyball for me. Hopefully that means they will be made aware by tons of angry fans, and, they can have it fixed sooner than later. |

Does anyone know how to watch this match from Canada? CBC doesn't have this match listed in their streaming schedule. Do I need to get a VPN and then watch from Peacock?

Calling newbeach or tamz _ Thank you, avid! How do you watch NBC if you don't have a cable in the states? Maybe I can do the same, plus a VPN to pretend that I'm in the US |

It's free and legal (you just have to sign up, its a stanford research project) I'm not sure if it will work with a VPN though (you might even try without a VPN too) puffer.stanford.edu/player/ |

Did NBC fix all of their audio issues? I was half awake last night in a softball game and I think it was fixed.

I was using my company's VPN since it's in the US, but somehow I need to turn it off to be able to watch. |
