Future Bet to Win NCAA Champioship

I saw a thread on the main board talking about this and thought it was interesting. These are the odds as of 1/4 so it does include the Iowa game. I wouldn't have guessed PU would still be that high. The folks in the desert may know something....

what they know is that 1 game (or even a few) is practically irrelevant as to predicting what will happen going forward

If they didn't they wouldn't own the desert and half of everything else. People in the business of making book either know how to do what they're doing or they're out of business!!!

I was more referencing that we have the same odds as Oklahoma. After watching them several times I wouldn't have guessed that.

It is all about the $$$ flow. Tells me there is some serious $$$ people thinking we are a good match. While the odds are related it is the $$$ flow.

Umm no. Futures bets have bad odds in general and the big money is almost never put on them. They are small time for fun bets by amateurs, not pros which is why they can get away with having such a big house edge built in.

Purdue currently ranks #4 on KenPom. Oklahoma is #3. No surprise they have similar odds in a futures market.
