Will one of the top 4 seeds win NCAA champonship ?
- Thread starter vinnie
- Start date
i saw that bet yesterday as well (i believe youre referring to the bet at carib)
i actually was tempted to play the opposite (no #1 seed wins the tourney at +225)
playing "no" gets you maryland, duke, kansas, and pittsburgh. (as well as the other sleepers, but they wont come into play)
heres how i look at it.
would you lay almost 3:1 odds that maryland, duke, kansas or pitt WONT win?
you really think oklahoma, texas, arizona, or kentucky are THREE TIMES BETTER than maryland, kansas, pittsburgh, and duke?
i dont believe that.
i know sometimes that "all value can buy you is a 99-cent cheeseburger at mcdonalds" but i dont see how there "value" in laying 3-1 basically against those 4 teams (mary,duke,kans,pit)

It is a decent bet ... I would say the drop off from Arizona and KY to the next best team is pretty big... Pitt and Maryland would worry me a little, but I still don't see them beating UK or Arizona....
The bad thing about the bet is that the two best teams will have to face each other before the big game... If they were on opposite sides of the brackets, I would make that bet in a heartbeat.... GL

Got that @ Carib.
gman2
I have 5 units on Kenty @ +350 and I like them to win it all.
I also think that Texas gets to the final.
Don't see Pitt betting Kenty.
Duke or Kansas? Doesn't matter
I see Ariz taking care of who ever is left.
