    can't believe they were only offering +2000.

    leads me to believe that vegas knew there was a remote chance for umbc to pull off history.

    The moneyline was way out of whack for that game. Virginia was missing a key player in the six man of the year and a big part of their success.

    20-1 is very generous and represented the public producing an inefficient market. Before the game was ever played and the result known, that 21 point line should have been closer to 10.

    I had Virginia only winning by 7 points and a highly inefficient line would have been 15 points, but we saw more than 20. We saw a similar situation with Michigan State a couple of years ago.

    Further, before this game #1 seeds were 135-0 against 16 seeds. Given the average win probability of what some would even consider efficient markets because a line is hung being a couple of percent, it's a wonder a 16 seed hasn't already won is so many tries. Considering the actual percentage is probably higher because these #1 seeds are out of whack for round 1, it's really a wonder it hasn't happened.

    It probably "should" have happened a half a dozen times or so.

    Now this guy needs to prove he is true gambler, and bet his winnings on the ML again today.

    Doesn’t benefit the books to increase the ML numbers on the dogs - that’s why you shop around !!
