    He has to understand that these odds are atrocious.

    We as gamblers can't control the outcome on the court, but we can do our best to get the best lines available. This one isn't even close.
    This.

    It isn't about arguing whether or not MSU could theoretically get to the Final Four, or even the championship game. Even if they somehow do win it all (basically impossible), +1200 is an atrocious number given the actual odds of it happening.

    I'm not, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if Oklahoma beat them. Better guards, solid defense, good coach. Should be a great game. Winner probably goes to the Final Four.

    You tried to tell us that the line would improve the more games they win.
    I missed reading that.
    Do you have a link?

    Told you how get a better line.

    From page 2:
    "Are you freaking nuts!!!!

    You'd get WAYYYYYYY better than +1200 by just betting the MSU ML and rolling it the next 4 games.

    They are -130 now. They'll be approximately the same(-130) versus LOU-NC ST, they'll be approximately +300 to Duke or +200 to Zaga, and around +300 or more against Kentucky. Parlaying those odds you'd get +4908 if they play Duke and +3656 if they play Zaga.

    Not a smart play"

    They were -130 then, -120 to Ville, +210 now, and projected +300 against Kentucky which is +3922, which is a hell of a lot higher than +1200 you tard

    You're multiplying moneylines together to come up with 40to1 odds?

    Yes, its the exact same thing as betting them to win it all. Except you will come out a ton better playing them on moneyline every game. It's a lot easier to hide juice/vig on a future like Mich St to win it all than it is to hide juice/vig on any 2 way line.

    Of course, you could've filled in the blank there with Virginia, Oklahoma and Louisville as well.

    Duke is better than MSU roster-wise, but so were those teams.

    They haven't faced a team like Duke yet. You can only get by with the coaches angle so many games, at some point it comes down to matchups and talent.

    Cook will slow down Trice, he is a premier perimeter defender. They'll have no answer for Okafor. Winslow will neutralize Valentine assuming he guards him.

    Duke plays with the smarts of Virginia and has the offensive fire power of Oklahoma.

    I can't argue against any of this. I'm just done even trying to bet against Izzo/MSU. Not worth it. They are so much more physically and mentally prepared than most teams. Really amazing to watch year after year.

    Pay the juice? Are you stupid? You bet 100 to win 1200. The way I said to do it would be as follows:

    100 to win 76.92 on MSU over Oklahoma

    176.92 to win 147.43 on MSU over Ville

    324.35 to win 681.13 on MSU over Duke

    1005.48 to win 3016.44 on MSU over Kent

    MSU wins it all. You had 100 to win 3921.92 MSU. Where the F is the juice?

    Of course 100 to win 1200 sounds so much better

    On paper Duke should win, obviously. But man, this MSU run is eerily similar to UConn last year
