    Basketball exact score odds

    I don't know if any book ever has offered such market, but theoretically what the min. odds do you think could be? I suppose that guessing the exact score of a basketball game should be priced approx. the same as over time odds. I know it's strange question but i just wonder

    Well I guess the odds of each exact odds guess would be different depending on how far it deviates from the spread and total offered for the game, as is the case for soccer, hockey and baseball. I have never seen this offered as there are too many possibilities and far too much work for the books to offer up lines that Justin will not kill them on

    its impossible for a book to offer this market, to big, it would be a jackpot to guess(or cap) a correct result

    Tough to say... for a likely to hit number maybe +1000? I'm just guessing though... it would be an interesting prop to look at if it was offered.

    Yeah it's close to lottery, but not impossible to catch. Depends how tight the game is, i think.

    I could price this if I had a database.

    The most common scores - 3-4 and such would still be unlikely. maybe 20:1?

    As far as i remember the standard odds for Over Time are around 15:1, that's somehow exact score prediction. If we have tight game the deviation is maybe - team A +/- 10 pts. team B +/-10 or something like this ... huh it's gettin' much more complicated than i thought
    The real exact score odds should be much higher than 15:1 thats for sure.
