I really like Pitt to win the SB but at just under 8-1 it feels like a suckers bet.
For example I had the Gmen at 35-1 last year to win the Super Bowl during week 8 or 9 i placed the bet. But had i just bet them out in the Playoffs and SB i would have obliterated those odds.
Lets assume i layed 100 bucks on the Gmen at the 35-1 odds, payout of 3500 with SB win.
This is the alternate i could have done.
NYG VS TB first round: 100 to win 170 (was +170 odds)
NYG vs Dallas 270 to win 675 (+250 ML odds)
NYG vs Green Bay 945 to win 2,362 (+250 ML Odds)
NYG vs Pats 3307 to win 14481 (was between +400 to +500 on before game, so assume +450)
So my 100 bucks would have been $18,188, as opposed to the measly 3600 i would receive from the 35-1
This was just analyzing the one big odds future i hit, and i realize how ****ed up the odds were.
Are they always this scewed?
Before the Playoffs the real odds should have been 180-1!
