Stolen from the MSB fwiw.


Some say no respect. Some say toughest road to win it all.

I'll say toughest road with a little lack of respect

Eta: Oregon and LSU highest odds, fiddy to one

Wouldn't that pay out 1mill? Or am I missing something.

Those seem like great odds.

Even the opening odds though. Two 3 seeds vs a 12 lol. No double digit seed has ever won the tournament

100 would net him 10000.

+10000 means that’s the payout if he places a 100 dollar bet. Poster above me is correct.

I am praying that you win, but I can almost guarantee that LSU wasn't even close to +10000, especially with our recruiting class. Those are like the odds for a shitty mid-major.

ETA: was definitely reading +10000 as +100000 aka 1000/1

That is great odds but yes you missed by a long shot

That would pay out 10k, not 1M

ETA: and agree with poster that this is BS. LSU would not have been +10000 odds to win it all. Maybe a team like Montana would have odds like that

according to bpi before the tourney started, 2 teams had better chances of making the championship game than lsu had of winning a 2nd game. bpi is still being updated. duke and gonzaga have been chances of winning it all than lsu has of beating msu. lsu has been defying the odds all season. just like in fb

Of course it's possible. Lsu is currently 50:1.

100 nets 5000 with only 16 teams left.

+10000 is simply 100:1.


That's just another way of writing it.

100-1 are pretty normal odds. Hell its 50-1 now and they are in the Sweet 16. The source of the OP says 80-1. Why would anyone question 100-1?

That's some great value.

If you were getting 80-1 or even 100-1 at the beginning of the season, yet can still get 50-1 after 99% of the competition has been removed?

Look at the date. That was the start of the season, and I think oregon was top 15
