    Definitely the best team the field. Got UNC & Tucky in the final. No Marshall makes the pick feel than much better. BOL

    Think of punctuation like the traffic signals of the written word. Mix in a little bit of it.

    why would you do this. You should lay the 1000 on the ml instead. Then take that and all the winnings and put it on their next game and so on. You would win more this way.

    kentucky +175 to go dancing is a terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible bet.

    whatever you want to lay, if you insist on this bet, just lay it on the moneylines for their reminaing games and carry it over. if they end up winning at least you'll get better than fkng +175. the idiot regs are astounding.

    YouHaveTwoOuts nailed it, just parlay Kentucky MLs going forward and you'll net better than +175.

    Significantly better. Futures prices rip off squares. They're fun every once in a while, but +175 is an awful number, even for a 1 seed.

    so you bet the grand to profit $190 on friday
    Then on Sunday you wager the whole $1,190 to make $280 profit (I've assumed -420 in Sunday's game)
    Then wager the whole $1,470 on them to make the finals to profit $420 (I've assumed -350 for this)
    Now you have $1,890 & need to get very close to -110 in the final game to profit the original $1,750 you would have made on the futures bet.
    Did I miss something here?

    he doesn't have 1000 so it's not like it matters.

    You MLs are too high, if Baylor wins, Ky will be about -350 and they then will be less than that with each passing game.

    I think they'll be 6.5 at least.
    if they play Louisville or florida in the final four couldnt they be favoured by more?
    I dont know I just think that vegas builds these types of things into these futures lines.
    you should be getting +215 on them right now so the difference youd make on $1000 by betting now as opposed to each game would be $40-$80 if you really shopped around for your individual games.

    They will be more. Baylor is a joke and Kentucky lines are inflated.

    So you think Baylor would be -4 vs Indiana????

    I thought I tried to explain the math here.


    Without being clairvoyant, no one can predict the future money lines, I thought I was close but even if I wasn't, by the time you get to the final game you still to hope for close to PK EV on Kentucky to make more than the already low +175 the OP got.

    And Kentucky will be favoured by more than 5 over Baylor unless there are significant Cat injuries tonight.
    And probably more than 5 point favorites if they meet anyone besides MSU

    I wouldn't take it unless it is over +210 or +215 in my opinion. Good Luck!

    You're pretty clearly getting better than +175 by betting MLs at decent books.

    The question is whether you'd get better than +215 or +220, which is the real price.

    5dimes has +220


    -500
    -300
    -300
    -200

    Would net you exactly +220.

    But if upsets happen you won't even get +220 rolling over unless you think Kentucky will be -150 vs Florida and such lines.

    fair enough.
    Louisville just pushed that line down a little more!

    Calipari teams tend to find ways to lose games (usually horrible FT shooting). They will slip up eventually.

    I'm riding on Indiana and this... Indiana wins NCAA Champ +10000*

    If they can make it into the elite 8, I will start hedging for a nifty profit.
