I took UCONN +500. Not a market I usually dabble in but leaving Atlantis and if it wins ill come collect my 5 K and pay for next vacation here. used to come here all the time, been around a decade. GL all

 

[kane]

Illinois +4000

 

[Heim]

I was surprised to see UK as high as +2500 at some shops.

Illinois +4000

Offensive talent is there. Can they get enough stops?

I have KY to cut down the nets as well, the same can be said about them, +4000 I couldn't pass up

So many things have to go your way to win it all. Why I like odds to make the Final Four better. It's akin to playing indexes with stocks as opposed to one stock.

 

[cheapseats]

But 1 stock is akin to +450 while index is -110.

Of course, but you have less volatility/variance to worry about. I can live with UK +750 (FF) versus winning 2 more games at +2000 (consensus #)

Illinois, UNC , do either have a shot to win it all ?

I like UNC more. May just want tnese teams ML and roll the bets.

 

[dogball]

I took UNC to make final four +375

Auburn the lowest seed to realistically have a shot at winning it all. But they also are in the toughest bracket.

 

[Heim]

Thank God I don't have to listen to BYU as a viable longshot on these podcasts.

 

[Valuist]

Bet against: Big 12, SEC, Big East and Mountain West
Bet on: ACC, Pac 12, Big Ten and A10

Let's change OT in college basketball to 2 minutes. This isn't the NFL, where you need the extra time because scoring far less frequent.

Disclosure: yes I had Oregon last night in a brutal beat.

Know someone who took Oregon +9.5 and needed to close teaser

A few weeks ago I had Loyola, Chicago on the ML o close out a 5-teamer. They are UP 58-47 with 6 minutes left. Game goes to OT TIED AT 58! End of 2OT they lead by 2 and foul a 3-pt shooter. He makes all 3 and Loyola loses by 1...............5-teamer paid 5-1

I was half paying attention to a Ford ad but I swear they said "having more choices means having less choices", then they proceed to show only F150 electric and hybrid trucks. In the meantime Ford dealers are overloaded with EVs on their lots.

 

[Valuist]

I wasn't aware earlier but the NIT finals will NOT be played in NY at MSG this year. They will be at Butler's facility (Hinkle Field House) in Indy. Indiana State should be very focused all tourney.

Imagine if one is a Bay Area basketball fan. Stanford playing Cal tonight. Good game to go to. Ooops, its 3000 miles away in Charlotte. Guessing there's no shuttle bus to the game.

we have jews larry scott and carol folt to thank for not being a pac 12 anymore

 

[Heim]

I agree with the guys on VSIN last night ...KU is a fraud and look for a early Big Dance exit.

Or how about those two ancient Big 10 rivals USC and Rutgers squaring off......a school from Los Angeles and a school from New Jersey playing in Indianapolis.

Nothing says Atlantic Coast like a battle between Stanford and Cal

just need the refs

 

[Jammer]

If Xavier and/or Texas get in- like them to win a game or two.

I didn't follow CBB as close as I wanted this year but it only took a few games to watch KU and realize they're a fraud.
