Great value at 80-1 for sure, but the Tigers have the same chance of winning this thing as Vermont.  0.0000001%.  A statistical naught.

Ok, I'm being being facetious.  I have Michigan State being them because of State's inside game and coaching.  But if Missou's offense gets red-hot, State could be friend.

Then on to Kentucky.

You would have to win this game to hedge out and make a killing.

So, it isn't entirely impossible......just a good long-shot.

GL (until Michigan State of course...hahaha).

Entirely impossible?

Also, you're assuming MSU and Kentucky get that far......

Tiny risk with huge payouts thats already been paid for as the other games are already winners. I have open parlays with Mizzou as the last leg to win between 15 and 20K , on probably $40 worth of bets. I'll try and copy and paste a couple of the bets tomorrow.

I think they'lll be ok. Ratliffe fouled out for the 1st time this year against Baylor in the Big 12 title game. They guards dont pick up stupid fouls. With a day off between every game I think it should be fine.

Honest question, has Haith won a tournament game before? Now all of a sudden he's a final 4 lock in a region full of coaches with national title rings. Give me a break. The odds were 80-1 for a reason. I wish you were in my bracket pool with Mizzou making the title game without seeing Michigan St or Kentucky along the way

Were 80-1. Thats the key. Try finding them at better than 12-1 now. Value is what I saw, and bet accordingly. Good luck picking Kentucky or Mich St because they "should" win as #1 seeds.

St Louis Cardinals were 500-1 to win the world series at the beginning of August.....How'd that turn out?


Enjoy your tourney "Dude"

Another thing, its not like they have an injury or have to play without someone they had all year. Its been this squad since day 1.

Florida is a squad I dont like. They have no heart and a bunch of street ballers. If their 3s arent falling they have no shot. Doesnt mean they cant beat Mizzou, but I dont think they would go further.

what's it all about, brother! Are you going to hedge it if they get to the final four? I remember the dude who layed 50 on the St Cards in ealry Sept at 400-1 to win the NL and we watched him celebrate-a beautiful thing-vision is what it's all about-I had 13 to 1 on the NYG before the GB playoff game to win it all and I should have bet more than 10 bucks...even a better play when they were 7-7 but I was thinking eagles a few weeks before-we should have a thread for this-we don't all get brainstorms the same day...GL!!

Mizzou hasn't been hurt by this supposed "inside game" all year.  It's a fallacy that people like to state simply because the guys aren't big.  Baylor is bigger and better inside than Michigan State and so is Kansas.  Mizzou handled Baylor 3 times and did just fine against Kansas.  If Mizzou does end up losing, it will be because of an off night from the field and not because of being dominated inside.

The fact is, when Mizzou is on nobody in country beats them.  Their guards can all create their own shot and are tremendous at getting to the hoop.  Considering how great they shoot free throws, that's bad news for anybody.

TRAIN,

That is just sick value you've got there.  I took Mizzou at 30/1 in January and I've got Sparty at 33/1, so I'm feeling good about having a Final Four team at 30+/1 and then hedging accordingly.
