Best Futures Odds

[yak merchant]

I've been looking around the net and the best I can find on these three teams is....

Duke 8/5
Cinci 12-1
Florida 12-1


Any one find any better? on any of them?

Thanks in advance

Yak,

wanna chat for 10-15 minutes?

I read somewhere that Illinois is 25-1

Can't get chat room to work? Illinois is so bad away from their home gym, I wouldn't bet on Illinois if they were 70 to 1. I hope they draw a decent team in the first round so I can bet on their early exit.

What about Kansas at 6-1? Will this be the year they dont choke?

Have them at a close 4th, but at half the odds, I'll take my chances they choke again. Seeing how Duke should win it all, I might skip the Futures and wait for the brackets to come out and play the 4-pays at WSEX.

4-pays

4-pays

If you have a minute, can you explain what these are? Thanks..

After a quick glance, I also like UCLA and STANFORD as "longer" shots at 40-1..

Best to go to WSEX and read about the interactives. But interactives are like buying stock in a team. You can buy and sell and any time. Most of them like on a game will start out where you can buy a share at 55. If you team covers your stock will go to 100. If you team doesn't cover your stock is worth zero. This is a 1-pay. 1 team pays 100%. On a 4-pay. It's basically the same concept except, 1st pays 100, 2nd pays 50, 3rd and 4th pay 25. So if you pick up a team like florida at $11, and they make the final 4 you make $14 because it pays $25. And if they happen to win you got 8-1 instead of the 12-1 on a futures bet.

found a couple at my book that i think i can invest in and then hedge against. texas 100-1 and wake forest 100-1, (maybe miami fla 75-1) both seem too high, both have shots of being top 6 seeds-- just thought i could make a little dough putting 20 bucks or so on UT and then betting against them if and when they make the tourney, same for wake, which should be in the tourney easily--any opinions? i figured there would be some others doing this as well. also thought i saw kansas at SIA at 8-1 but that was a couple of days ago i think--
