Felt so good about it that you bet it twice, huh LK1?

Just kidding. This is my first little installment and I do think your Cardinals are going to be a major player. Definitely have them in my Top 8 at the moment. But the Big East is so tough to really get a feel for right now with such depth. Will be interesting to see if one or two schools can really take charge and rise to the creme de la creme or if they all just spend the conference portion of the slate beating each other up.

I'm still working on my pucks capping and here you are already halfway done with your college hoops Willie.

Anywhere I can bet on season ending number 1 seed, instead of national champion? Only because I see no difference between taking NC now or before the tourney.

[Willie Bee]

I can't recall ever seeing odds on a team being a No. 1 seed, jason. Would be an interesting play. Will let you know if I stumble across anything.

Willie, im curious, can you tell us what site those odds were from?

The one that really jumps out at me is Gonzaga at +1800. Right now, Bodog has them at +4000 and Greek at one point had them +5000. Thats some serious discrepancy.

Thanks man.

Jasonnt - you make a good point. The value has been drained from the UNC play, no question. Not sure if there will be any value in it but the Greek says it will be offering odds on the ACC Conference Champs. Ill post when they are up. Right now you can bet on the Maui Invitational. UNC is -250 to win the tournament.

UNLV to make the tournament: I wish I could find that future bet.

[TPowell]

UCLA isnt the 2nd best team in the nation. Thats way off IMO

[chrisharvard01]

UNLV to make the tournament

I agree.


I have UNLV at +10000 to win the national title. I also took ARZ ST, +10000.
