Kansas champions +165

[KingKolzig]

is this not the biggest futures ripoff you have ever seen? Yes they are 24-1 with a so-so schedule, but to win 3 straight tough games to get to the final four, and then beat two super elite teams in the final four, please

If they offered kansas NOT to win the title at -200, it would be one of the greatest bets you can make. they are not even close to the Boozer-J.Williams Duke team or even a Florida team of a few years back...seriously

[2daBank]

that pretty much garbage for any team before the tourney i dont care who you are

[KingKolzig]

even if they are a #1 seed. come on. +165 should be set for a team that will be at least 10 point favorites every game in the tournament............man i wish i could reverse bet this somehow...........a fair price would be +375, and even that i would laugh at

[letitburn]

lame odds

[WeinketoWarrick]

ya that's bad.

on the other hand, if i could bet kentucky +300 and kansas +300, i think i'd be guaranteeing myself a winner. i don't see how anybody besides one of those two wins it.

[2daBank]

i wouldnt be surprised if it is some 1 besides those two...hell s. car beat ken im pretty sure a tourney team can

[KingKolzig]

UK is about +350, and considering its a team of freshman those odds are kinda weak too. And its NCAA single tourny elimination, anything can happen. its not like saying Lakers or Cavs for the NBA or no one else. Any team in the top 15 can beat UK or KU on any given night, especially on a neutral court.........im just blown away by the cheapness of the top books setting KU at +165. But that just means some ppl are taking it

[CrimsonQueen]

I took North Carolina at +500 last year! Right after Ty Lawson hurt his ankle... best bet ever.

[KingKolzig]

EXACTLY!!!!!!!! even though lawson was hurt ppl figured he would be at 90% or better, and UNC was a POWERHOUSE. AND he was expected to heal for the final 4................that is a good deal at +500, thats exactly what KU should be........and crimson you should have gotten only +275 for that, that is a spectacular deal. you must have had the warm and fuzzy insides after they beat oklahoma lol

[astead300]

yea i am even a kansas fan and i haven't taken the line cappers have given for the hawks. they are not even close to as good as the team that won it two years ago

[KingKolzig]

even that team was like +700 when the tournament started i believe.............+165, so silly

[2daBank]

I took North Carolina at +500 last year! Right after Ty Lawson hurt his ankle... best bet ever.

best bet ever? +500 on something you had to wait for...hell there been several bigger ml winners for 1 game lately than that, so i wouldnt go so far as to say best bet ever

[2daBank]

yea i am even a kansas fan and i haven't taken the line cappers have given for the hawks. they are not even close to as good as the team that won it two years ago

honestly i do think Ku will be in the final four for sure with a good shot at winning but doesnt change the fact those odds really suck...books must be pretty convinced they are gonna go

But that just means some ppl are taking it

Well put any team in the top 15 could certainly beat KU or UK on a neutral court for any one given game, I can't believe people are taking KU at +165, sure they may win but their true odds should be around +300 or a little higher

[Kustac]

i wouldnt be surprised if it is some 1 besides those two...hell s. car beat ken im pretty sure a tourney team can

I have to point out S. Car. is good enough to beat any team in the country for just one game at S. Car, sure I'd pick Kansas over them even at S. Car. but it could certainly turn into another upset ... so I don't think this says a whole lot about UK other than just like every other team they can definetely be beaten on any given night

[KingKolzig]

+500 is a really good bet. considering how much better UNC was than everyone else. just cause you have to wait doesnt mean its a best bet, its not crack, you can have patience

[chisox19]

Kentucky is going to dominate the tournament, too bad the lines are so unplayable

No, there r no teams even close to being as good as the teams bak in the day but thats the point. vegas knos there r not many elite teams at the top n kansas is clearly the best of the bunch at this pt. u jus don see as many dangerous teams out there now, kansas is prob a solid lock for the final 4, no doubt.

thats the thing. i dont think they are even a solid lock for the final four. look at the game tonight against Tex a&m. at no point did KU look overpowering. They will have to win a game as a 25 pt fav to start the tournament (lock) but then 3 games as 5-10 point favs like tonight just to get to the final four. that is your +165 right there...........but to then beat two really solid teams, come on. +165 is a joke. but it gets funnier cause its down to +125

[ZetaPsi808]

yes i would take the kansas does not win it all -200

[KingKolzig]

yes i would take the kansas does not win it all -200

id cream in my pants if i saw that line somewhere. if they are +125 to win it, then some book must offer them at "not to win" at -200, maybe even -175 now

[WildcatFan]

I doubt UK will dominate. I'm a big UK fan and never miss a game. UK can be very inconsistent at times. Team's that play a good 2-3 zone can give UK problems. I hope you're correct though.

[KingKolzig]

seriously no one will dominate this tournament. no team should be more expensive than +450. hate the sportsbooks they are so frigin cheap...........just think about it. the 5 tough kansas games they would have to play to win it all, if they played that schedule 6 times a year (30 games total), they MIGHT go 23-7, so what are the odds they start 5-0??????? ppl see +anything and they jump on it. +125 is trash

[KingKolzig]

i know im obsessed with this line. but i just had to again show how stupid it is. lets just say KU never even faces UK. give them that luck. here is a mock lineup with spread and ML of who they would have to play in order to run the table

vs Creampuff St (-25) -50000
vs UNLV (-12) -900
vs Maryland (-8.5) -450
vs Purdue (-3.5) -170
vs Villanova (pick)
vs Syracuse (-1) -125

overall, that looks like +450 to me

[blackbox]

Wait until later +1.65 is an insult. See the brackets,and beat this price by playing the moneyline 6 times-if available in the first 2 rounds.

[Drew0585]

+165 is ridiculous. There are many other bets that would be better to place a very small bet on.

BYU, Butler, New Mexico, Pitt +10,000
Wisconsin +5,000
Gonzaga +4000
Michigan State, WVU, Kansas State, and Ohio State +2000

[KingKolzig]

yes it is a ridiculous insult, but it gets worse. it is now +125 at thegreek........crazy, is it going to end up -120 LMFAO...........gimme a break, who the heck is taking this bet

[Jaug]

Well hopefully they offer +125 for yes and -155 or something for no? Take the no.
