I have been looking at some of these futures and i cant believe how tempting they look. I mean obviously the odds arent great and no one can make a living betting on heavy favorites MLs (all the time)... but some of these futures cant be that bad...
1's Kentucky to make swt 16 -600 UNC to make swt 16 -475 Mich St to make swt 18 -210 Cuse to make swt 16 -230
2's Mizz to make swt 16 -275 Kan to make swt 16 -275 Duke to make swt 16 -180 Ohio St to make swt 16 -350
I think that most would agree that using the "L" word to say that all 4 1 seeds are going to make the 2nd weekend of the tournament this year is out of pocket. (I know that its NEVER safe to use that word) And im sure that some of those games might even be single digits wins with some 8 or 9 seed playing hard and somewhat challenge the 1 seed. But no matter what the spread is in that 2nd game (3rd round) we can all agree that the 1 seed should/will advance....they are a 1 for a reason. Right?
Even the 2's are dominant teams and should have no problem advancing... Mizz, Kan, OSU and even Duke were all 1 game away from being 1's themselves.... I honestly thought that Mizz was going to be a 1 after winning the big 12 conf champ... and if OSU would and won against Mich St in the big 10 champ, they are the 1 instead of Mich St... Kan and Duke were in the convo before early exits in conf tourneys as well...
I guess I am looking for opinions on what everyone thinks about these futures, odds, and what they think about risking large percentages of you bank roll on such plays. Especially during tourney time....

I know right??? I thought that I was losing my mind thinking like this...
Florida St +150 Michigan +140
And im REALLY liking New Mexico right now...Won alot of money on them in thier conf tourney.... Had them +155 on the ML against UNLV and then pounded them -4.5 in the championship against SDST... Too bad the pulled Long Beach in the first rd... that is gonna be a great game.

I was thinking the prop for Duke not to make the sweet 16 at +185 was pretty good. I don't see how Duke wins in the 2nd round.
I think Duke makes 16... ND/Xav winner might make a game of it, but Coach K will make sure they pull through... its the next round that has me worried.
The Plumlees and Austin Rivers are gonna be tough.

Just heard about Melo for Syr.... pretty sure im gonna back off of them to make sweet 16... K St and S Miss both rebound pretty well...Definately not a lock anymore.
As of now I have a few futures locked in.
UNC -400 (down from 475 last night) 20 units to win 5 Mizz -230 (down from 275) 9.2 units to win 4 Florida St +145 3 units to win 4.35
Leaning on a few more...pretty close to pulling the trigger
Mich +140 3 units to win 4.2 Ohio St -400 (up from 350 LN) 12 units to win 3

I love The Wire references you dropped. Nice work. Best drama ever. It doesn't get the attention it deserves because it's so gritty and hard core.
If hollywood appears in anymore of your threads just run him out. I hate hijacking your thread like that but I am making it a point to make everyone aware of what scum he is and run him off Covers.
Did you know that he posted another Covers member died in a car wreck and had young children? It turned out none of it was true. He is just scum.

And as for your thread goes. I would just ask myself whether or not I am getting good value on Duke beating Xavier or Notre Dame. I.E. would Duke be laying more than the -180 in a ML against those teams? If you think Duke would be -200 against either one of those teams than I would take Duke.
Same pretty much goes with all the other teams. I don't have any of those teams losing in the first two rounds. But some of them won't be nearly as heavy faves to win their second round games.

Nice point about the 2nd game ml aspect.... Im sure the 1 seeds like KEN and UNC will be higher ML's since their line will be in the 7-12 pt range I assume (-400 to -800 range) depending on who they are playing....
But other teams like Mizz, KAN, OSU im thinking that they will be lower lines since it seems that the possible 2nd game opponents will be major programs from major confs...
I guess overall, these Futures arent mathematically the best value you are going to get but I REALLY like the aspect of these top seeds just to ADVANCE to the 2nd weekend. Dont have to worry about backdoor covers or slow starts or late fouls and FT's,
Like Herm Edwards would say... "We play to WIN THE GAME!!!"

Anyone who has a future on Cuse to advance to 16 needs to back up that bet with $ on Kansas St to make it now at +220. I dont think So Miss can beat Cuse even w/o Melo, but KSU could.
I would be very surprised if any of Kentucky, Kansas, UNC, Ohio St didnt make the 16 and mildly surprised if Duke, Baylor or MSU dont make it.
Baylor is actually pretty good value at + money right now. UNLV hasnt shown they can beat a team of Baylor's quality on a nuetral floor this season. All of UNLV's good work has come at home, and Colorado doesnt match up well with Baylor at all. Baylor has the length to deter most of Colorado's drives to the paint.

Frank Martin is a good coach. K State is a good rebounding team. And they handled excellent guard play by beating Mizz 2x this year... Watch out Syracuse!!!
Cuse might become the redmen cause they might get handled by this team.
