Wichita State +1150 to win it all

[TonyTall]

Which #1 ranked seed will be the first to be eliminated from the 2014 NCAA Men's Basketball Championship?

If 2 or more are eliminated in same round wagers are No Action.

Like it.

I may take a stab with Creighton. I like picking teams who can shoot.

I got Wich St and Creighton both at 125 to 1 preseason. I can get Creighton at 40 to 1 now. I think that is still worth a shot.

Not as easy as you think, could be a push because Virginia probably loses to Michigan State in Sweet 16. Then again, Wichita probably has the tougher second game vs. Kentucky.

[TonyTall]

Lt im just saying vegas thinks wichita isnt for real

[STAX]

Kentucky has to beat KSU first. Louisville will have a tough game in the round of 32 no matter who they play, but one they should win most of the time. Its not a given Wichita will have to beat Kentucky then Louisville only to get to the elite 8.

Meh, Louisville will probably get a weaker mid-major than Wichita State in second round so I wouldn't worry too much about that game. Yeah, Wichita State could draw Kansas State, but even Wildcats are no picnic either.

Actually I misspoke, it would be either Saint Louis, Xavier or NC State, so Saint Louis is only possible mid-major. I still would not consider it that tough a game for Louisville whichever team it is though.

[Albert Pujols]

No value in that. Parlaying ml's will net a lot more should they win it.

[Snowball]

quite honestly i am not sure Wichita State will get by Kentucky in the 2nd round.
don't laugh.

[Albert Pujols]

They are gonna be about 40-1 by parlaying the ML's.

[LT Profits]

Who's laughing, I took Kentucky over them in some brackets. But in the majority of them, I have them losing to Louisville in Sweet 16. I have Louisville in Final Four in ALL of my brackets, and I played a lot of them. I think Louisville is only Final Four team I have in every single bracket.

Wichita might be as high as 50-1 with what the lines are gonna be. Minimum 35-1.

yeah a solid 5-team parlay against top teams. 40-1 about right

[Albert Pujols]

If all the big boys win, it's gonna be more like 60-1 or 65-1. But if squares are willing to bet +1100, why not throw it up there?

[Albert Pujols]

Could be as high as 75-1, really.

[The Madcap]

Cuse +2100, first year without a large wager on him so it finally hits. Two teams I don't mind seeing, Kansas and Florida. JB has Donovan's number and same with Kansas. No PG for Kansas, they will be lost against the zone. Final Four, book it. Ohio State may be the toughest match-up, hope Dayton takes em out.

I have Ohio State going down to Dayton, I also have Cuse taking out Kansas. I really really really wanted to take Cuse over Florida, but I looked up and had three ACC teams in the Final Four. Watch Cuse be the one that makes it. Weird breakdown this year in the regions. I literally had to go looking for reasons UVA/Duke wouldn't make it, which is odd because if you'd asked me before the brackets came out Sunday if Duke would be a Final Four team I would have said no way in hell.


Duke's defense isn't up to their usual standard and they are totally discombobulated at the point guard position. Andre Dawkins hasn't hit multiple threes in over a month. They just aren't that good to me. And while I could see them losing early to Mercer or Tenn/Iowa/UMASS, I can't see that any more than Louisville going down to Manhattan or UK taking down Wichita State. And I just don't see Duke bowing out to Louisville two years in a row, not when this year's L'ville team isn't nearly as good as last year's. I think Wichita State isn't battle tested enough to win four straight games against Top 25 caliber teams. Can't see Duke losing to Michigan or Texas either. And I'm kinda pissed about it actually, because I really just do no trust Duke this year.



UVA could lose to Michigan State, but I could also see Michigan State losing to Cincy. Villanova is fraud and could go down to UCONN or Iowa State or UNC with no trouble. How dope would a Cuse/UVA--Duke/whoever Final Four be for the ACC? Kinda wish they'd put UNC/or NC State in the West to give us a shot at the fourfer. (I actually think NC State could upset St. Louis/Louisville. And if that happens you can bet your ass I'll be pulling for Duke to somehow lose to Texas/Michigan. I think State can beat Texas for sure, possibly Michigan, can't see them beating Duke. Coach K has them figured out I'm afraid.)

Just think you're setting yourself up for trouble loading up on a team without one quality non-conference win. (Unless you want to count Southern Miss lol)



L'ville went 5-5 against the RPI top 50 this year. By contrast Duke went 6-4 (and those loses were Kansas/Arizona/@Cuse/@UNC) and Michigan went 10-4 (and those loses were Arizona/Wisconsin/@Duke/@Iowa State.



Louisville lost twice to Memphis. Memphis went 0-5 against Cincy/UCONN. Everyone's on L'ville's bandwagon because of their winning streak, but L'ville hasn't played anyone all year that can shoot like Michigan/Duke from outside. Not saying L'ville can't beat Michigan/or Duke, but they aren't as battle tested as Michigan/Duke and haven't faced anyone as dedicated to creating open looks on the perimeter as those two. I also wouldn't be shocked to see L'ville go down in the round of 32. Think you might have put too many eggs in one basket.

I'll still take my chances with a 4-seed that is #1 or #2 in the country in all of the reputable power ratings you can look at. And as was mentioned in another thread, Louisville will be favored in every game.

Ok, and?



How often do serious/legit book makers come out and tell you what they're thinking prior to a set of games taking place? What purpose would that serve? There's plenty of regular media outlets already on this saying L'ville is under seeded. And wouldn't the books love nothing more than to keep pushing that narrative and set L'ville up as a fav by a few points moving forward hoping to dope the public into betting heavy while they shift even more points to the dogs clean up? L'ville hasn't beaten anyone but UCONN and Cincy man. That's it. Three wins against UCONN (who lost to Stanford, the weakest Pac-12 team in the field) and one against Cincy (who got routed by Xavier who just got routed by NC State, the 7th best team in the ACC). You throw in the fact that UNC/UK (who have both under-performed this season) took down L'ville and what possible reason should anyone have to believe they're really all that good? The more you analyze the numbers the more that 4 seed makes sense, not the other way around. L'ville is just the hot thing because of their win streak, but it ain't that impressive when you study who they actually beat. Just as the popular sleeper pick in the NFL every year never ends up making the playoffs, so too will Louisville fail to make the Final Four.

UL #1 BPI. Pitino always gets his teams playing well at this time of year. Harrell's game has improved substantially in the last 2 months. Smith is playing like a point and is a serious threat to score. He's creating shots for his teammates similiar to Siva did last year. And the X factor, Van Treese. Kid plays with all out hustle and gets physical with anyone he defends. UL will crash the final four for the third straight year. Mark it down here and on your brackets.

Bookmakers may be feeding propaganda, but power ratings don't lie (except for injuries).

There's also a kid named Hancock who can shoot from behind the arc quite well.

Any thoughts on UCLA winning it ??not the biggest college basketball viewer but have caught a few of there games this year and they have impressed me.

We will find out how bad they are when they get beat second round........ If they played in the big ten they woudnt have made the tourney period....

You just bet +1150 on a 60-1. That makes you a square. Those are the facts.
