Heading to New Jersey soon and can get UConn +30000 (yeah, that's 4 zeros) to win the AAC in football. How much should I bet?
For the EPL fans out there, didn't the team that won a couple years ago have some incredibly crazy odds?
I think I actually read their odds of winning the EPL were the same that year as UConn winning the BCS/CFP.

For those of us who don't go to sports books, what does "+30000" mean in the context of a season? I'm assuming you don't mean the odds of UConn winning are 30k to 1 or you would have said so.
Thanks
Bet $100 to win $30000.
Drop the last two zeros (300-1)
which obvious is a ridiculous underprice - they are probably more like 10k to 1 if they are even that.
Thank you. But why in the world wouldn't the industry just say "UConn is 300 to 1 to ...?"
Stupid question, but I have no experience at all with bettimg. How do I legally place a bet. I go to draft kings?
Sports betting is expected to legally be coming to Connecticut shortly at the tribal casinos. Currently in order to bet legally here, you can either go to the Twin River Casinos in Rhode Island or go to New Jersey. New Jersey has the best mobile betting options with sites like DraftKings and FanDuel pretty well established. As long as you are within New Jersey borders both of the aforementioned sites will allow you to bet on their mobile apps. Short of these options, everything else is on the black market through an underground bookie or an offshore website online.
Bet $500, if you can live without it. $150,000 buys a lot of season tickets. LolAssuming there’s no max payout restriction, my advice on long-shot wagers is to bet an amount that won’t hurt if you lose—but will be meaningful if you happen to shock the world and win.
At 300-1 odds a $50 bet would pay you $15,000. That sounds about right.
