      Why would you put your life in the hands of a college team?

        Hell Yeah I would in a heartbeat. Especially since a #16 seed has NEVER beaten a #1 seed.
        If it seems to good to be true it usually is!!

        I have a natural instinct to exploit market ineffieciencies!!

            Nah, prolly not...I enjoy living more than gambling...

            Gambling is just something I do for fun...I rarely ever risk more than 15 dollars on a game...first off, I don't have the money to back a major loss anyways, and second, it's just a fun lil' hobby...

            So no, my life ain't worth putting on other people....

              This is what some would call a value bet.

                That would be $150 billion.

                Like I said, some #1 seeds are -15000 or even -20000. If someone were to do this, he would be looking for the safest bet, which typically would involve some outrageous moneylines.

                Betting -20000 to win a billion would be risking $200 billion. Simple.

                    Yes.

                    I have a high earning potential...but considering a #1 has never lost, and I could pick the match-up, I'd take it. I'm not even sure if I'd care if the team knew....they'd probably play better not knowing.

                          The last thing in the world I would do is put my life in the hands of college basketball players who probably don't place a really high value on their own lives.

                                I would imagine that friends and family wouldn't see it in the same light. I highly doubt your mom would say "At least it was a good wager." at your eulogy.

                                        Theres more than one way to live. There are ways to develop pride and satisfaction in life other than hard work and productivity.
