    I see these sort of inconsistencies with odds quite often in tourney's/playoff's...

    Am I missing something or are people putting their money on N.C. to win the title at +500 just missing getting better odds......and also N.C. State (as slim as their chances may be).....on "which conference will win ncaa title" at +650?

    These are today's odds at betislands.


    ODDS TO WIN 2011-12 NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP
    85702 BAYLOR +1200
    85704 CINCINNATI +5000
    85708 FLORIDA +1750
    85713 INDIANA +3000
    85715 KANSAS +800
    85717 KENTUCKY +150
    85719 LOUISVILLE +2000
    85720 MARQUETTE +1200
    85723 MICHIGAN STATE +650
    85727 NORTH CAROLINA +500
    85728 NORTH CAROLINA STATE +3500
    85730 OHIO STATE +450
    85736 SYRACUSE +1000
    85745 WISCONSIN +2000
    85746 XAVIER +4000
    85747 FIELD (ALL OTHERS) +7500

    Mar 22 - 4:15 PM TEAM FROM WHICH CONFERENCE WIN NCAA TITLE
    90301 BIG TEN +110
    90302 S.E.C. +185
    90303 BIG 12 +450
    90304 BIG EAST +600
    90305 A.C.C. +650
    90306 ATLANTIC 10 +7500
    90307 FIELD (ANY OTHER) +15000

    Conversely, choosing the Big 10 at +110 would be dumb when you'd probably have a much better chance with splitting your bet and putting half on MSU and half on Ohio State.

    Not much hope in Indiana/Wisconsin.

    Another question... why does it say 'field' when the only other team they didn't mention is Ohio? LOL

    Yesterday you could get Lville future +2800 to win NCAA or go to "props" tab and take +3500 to win. 5dimes does this often.

    What's really dumb is the fact that Kentucky to win is +150, and a team from the SEC is +185. If anyone takes Kentucky as opposed to the SEC, then they're missing out. Regardless these future props are a complete sucker bet, just like player prop bets for who will score the first touchdown. The payouts are nowhere near the actual odds.

    Some are better than the actual odds.

    Depends where you get them and if upsets happen.

    Most futures you have to get early before they are adjusted, books are rather slow adjusting futures.
