Anyone sitting on a big future wager? I didn't jump on before the season started and shame on me. I guess we were as high as 125-1! I have been getting action down since we started 5-0, and have tickets for 33-1, 25-1, and now 10-1. Total risked so far is $165 to win $3090. Let's goooooo! Would love to not be doomed.

For my brothers bachelor party in July we were at a casino in Upstate NY. I was down to my last 50 bucks so I said "F it" and put it on UConn to win it all at +8000. Current odds are +1000.

1/6 odds going back 24 years. If I add money to my predictions they are now jinxed so I never gamble.

With Draftkings giving out free bets like hotcakes I had futures bets on like half of the field heading into the Tournament.

SDSU and KSU to the Final Four at +1600 and +1300 are my best remaining. Creighton +750 in decent shape too.
 
$100 at +8000 from November 19th.

If Texas wins later they’ll be the Vegas favorite not us (but will be close) by virtue of the fact their next game is against a non-top 25 KenPom team in Miami while ours will be against Gonzaga (who will be the #3 favorite for Vegas after us and Texas if Texas win)

My biggest fail - 2011. I was in Vegas (well, Henderson) for work and I had $200 in my pocket a few days before the Big East Tourney was starting. I intended to go to the sports book and put $100 on UConn to win the Big East and $100 for them to win the NCAA. I stopped at the craps table and promptly lost the $200 I was willing to bet.

Is there a cash out option?

Boston Bruins
Royals Over 69.5 wins
KC Chiefs Divisional winner (next season)

$20 bet @ +75,249 = $15,069.80

I also have Creighton to make F4...average price about 9.5-1. Started betting it preseason and kept sprinkling more throughout the season. I have TX (6-1), and MIA (15-1) as well, so one of those will win.

Overall, it's been a very light betting tournament for me. I like the futures bets...it makes me less likely to start splashing bets all over the place on every game. And with my UConn future ticket, I don't need much more action. I am down $93 overall so far.
