Wow, they are clearly putting a lot of faith in the home court advantage.

As they should.

What is Temple's odds? Outside of UConn and SMU I think they have the best shot

Temple is actually only +750, that surprised me as well.

Wow, so they have lower odds than Memphis, but are favored over Memphis in their opening game.

Great value there.

Let's keep in mind that Vegas makes their lines based on what they think people will bet on. So it may not be directly indicative of what they think UConn's chances are to actually win the tournament, but it's still nice to see.

If this tournament were anywhere but Hartford, we'd have very little chance. But in Hartford? We've already beaten all the teams we'd likely play at the XL Center this year. Why can't we do it again?

This week is gonna take forever to get 8 on Thursday.

There is no value in any of those numbers. Rolling over money line bets would probably pay double.

On UConn, SMU yes for sure, but not close for Temple.

Edit: Actually looking at past lines, yes probably it would with temple too

You win 250$ if you bet $100.

What do these numbers mean? +250.

And if the numbers were negative, they would be the amount you'd have to bet in order to win $100.

FYI this was strictly for informative purposes. If any of you are actually going to bet on us/(god forbid any other team) I would strongly recommend rolling over ML as @whaler11 said.

How does that work? -50 means bet 150 to win 100?

 

[Matt1010]

How does that work? -50 means bet 150 to win 100?

-100 = bet 10 to win 10 (10 bet + 10 winnings)
-150 = bet 15 to win 10 (25)
-200 = bet 20 to win 10 (30)

And so on

The numbers are never going to be between 100 and -100, they're always over/equal to 100 or under/equal to -100.

Uk is -275 to win it all for example, so risk $275 to make $100
