I'm in Vegas for a trade show and figured I would take the opportunity to lay a bet on UConn winning the NCAA Men's Championship. I picked up the sheet and was very surprised to see that we had relatively unattractive odds at 25-1. Very few teams (a lot less than the number of teams ranked ahead of us) had tighter odds. Names like Kentucky, Michigan State, Louisville. Syracuse was at 20-1.

What was most interesting is that the UConn line opened at 60-1 which I would have taken in a heartbeat.

What are the odds for Michigan, Kansas and Duke?

I would pounce on Michigan State now, and then hedge once they reach the Final Four and before they inevitably flame out.

25-1 suggests that gamblers are giving us a lot of love, more than the national media anyway.

I still can't figure out why she wasn't six of nine as opposed to seven of nine. :cool:
