    I see these sort of inconsistencies with odds quite often in tourney's/playoff's...
    Am I missing something or are people putting their money on N.C. to win the title at +500 just missing getting better odds......and also N.C. State (as slim as their chances may be).....on "which conference will win ncaa title" at +650?

    These are today's odds at betislands.

      Conversely, choosing the Big 10 at +110 would be dumb when you'd probably have a much better chance with splitting your bet and putting half on MSU and half on Ohio State.

      Not much hope in Indiana/Wisconsin.

        Another question... why does it say 'field' when the only other team they didn't mention is Ohio? LOL

          Yesterday you could get Lville future +2800 to win NCAA or go to "props" tab and take +3500 to win. 5dimes does this often.

            What's really dumb is the fact that Kentucky to win is +150, and a team from the SEC is +185. If anyone takes Kentucky as opposed to the SEC, then they're missing out. Regardless these future props are a complete sucker bet, just like player prop bets for who will score the first touchdown. The payouts are nowhere near the actual odds.

              Some are better than the actual odds.

              Depends where you get them and if upsets happen.

              Most futures you have to get early before they are adjusted, books are rather slow adjusting futures.
