    Ohio State to make the Final Four +135
    Does anyone like this bet? I think that Ohio State will be favored in every game they play so this might be a good value play with them only having to win SU.


    It looks like they will play

    Alabama State - Cake walk
    Nova- tough second round game but I think they win
    Kentucky -should win
    UNC - Should win


    What do you guys think? I have my concerns about them when they face Duke in the Final Four but they will atleast get there right?

      It looks good on paper, but you know what they say about that. It's far from a lock, they're giving you plus money for a reason. But if you really like it you can place a large wager on it and then you'll have the option of hedging if they reach the Elite 8.

        I think you could do this, or just bet them straight up from the second round on (pretty much making each game part of the parlay). They problem with this bet is that if you took OSU straight up, minus the first round game, I think you would get better odds than +135 (if you follow what i'm saying by playing each game). Which in essence, is what you are betting on. So I think this strategy or hedging against the elite eight game would be your best option. The final four is still never a given for anyone.

          only a very elite team would be worth that price. a team like hansborough UNC or d.Rose memphis. OSU has a very tough road and will likely at some point be trailing in a game (to a top sead) like 27-22 or something. at this point you could get them to come back in that game alone at +100 on live-betting. a fair price for OSU final 4 would be +225 and a great value would be +300

                    That's pretty good, considering on Bookmaker it's EV.

                        They offer live betting for select games during the regular season. It looks like they're going to offer live betting for most NCAA Tournament games, and I'm sure they're going to offer live betting for all games from the Sweet 16 on if not sooner.

                          I got Kentucy beating them in my bracket. If they
                          make the finnal four maybe money line for the four
                          games. +400

                              OSU has a very strong basketball program but they are always overrated. Despite all that, you are still given + money odds. They got a long way to go, and the money line does not offer you good value, not even fair value in my opinion.

                                I thought Kansas and Syracuse would definitely make the final four last year. I bet they though Northern Iowa and Butler would be pretty easy to beat.

                                  terrible bet by your own logic

                                  combine the ML's, they won't be over -200 against UK or UNC so its a terrible bet. If you parlayed all 4 ML's, it would be WAY over +135
