NORTHWESTERN wins @ Wisky.....big step forward in attempt at making first EVER Big Dance!

[Bfo]

As far as NW, yes, know 200-1 at WH currently.

A better option at WH may be VCU at 300-1

Already on that sir, I probably should take the 200-1 on NU now before some bored opening supervisor at WH decides to update the NCAAB odds and lowers Northwestern after a high profile win.

[FISHHEAD]

Cool

 

Yes, took some of that 300-1 also at WH

I played some Butler at 75-1 last week, like their style of play and think they're capable of winning multiple games. It's a little low price for the type of shot I usually take in February, but I just have a feeling about them this year.

[FISHHEAD]

......and their going to be a #4 seed or better in all likelihood.

[FISHHEAD]

Favorite future placed thus far and at this very moment is probably Minny at 425-1, that thought will probably change in the next couple/three days though. :)

 

Pondering this VCU at 300-1, may add more to that position tonight.

Still there as of a few minutes ago.

silly to say someone like northwestern is in, as though it's a foregone conclusion

 

marquette looked to be in after beating villanova a couple weeks ago, now they look like total shit and would need a miracle to get in, things change!

 

northwestern could easily go 1-5 the rest of the way

[FISHHEAD]

Mmike, agree wholeheartedly.

 

They're only probably around a -200 fav to make the dance at this time, hope they make it, will make for good press.

2 wins and they coast in, even 1 may do it. The BIG blows this year, but they will still get their 6-7 teams in, and NU will be one of them.

[FISHHEAD]

Did NW fade down the stretch last year or two years ago when it looked like they were headed to the dance????

[FISHHEAD]

VCU more favorable to make dance at this point than NW

I would say if VCU avoids any bad losses and wins at least a game in the A10 tourney they're in. League is a little down this year but I think VCU and Dayton find their way in.

[Bfo]

And of course if they don't at least make the finals we will find ourselves sweating out a VCU game in Dayton.

Yes. It's no lock they make the tourney, but the big 10 is pretty bad this year. Hard to make a case for 5 teams making it.

This thread inspired me to put $5 on NW @ 200-1 this morning. 

 

Go 'Cats!

yes but who's to say they win 2 of those final 5 games?

 

2 ranked teams, along with indiana and michigan... they could easily lose all 4 of those

 

just last year northwestern was 15-3 and then cranked off 5 losses in a row (right after beating wisconsin), shit happens sometimes

You just pissed away $5. It would be a huge success if they made it and won a game.

[FISHHEAD]

VCU and Dayton both favorites to make Dance at this time(individually).

 

Dayton is 350-1 at 5D

[FISHHEAD]

From strictly the standpoint of a team being a favorite at this time on making the dance with the highest odds seen, that distinction would go to Belmont at 5dimes

 

Currently 2000-1

 

They, or another team that is currently a slight favorite on making the dance at this time, may have odds higher elsewhere that I've not seen.

[Sol Aristatel]

You just pissed away $5.

Well son of a bitch then.

[FISHHEAD]

Doobler, they're probably at least a -200 favorite to make Dance at this time, then hedge that $5 on each NW game when Tourney begins........you're fine.

 

:)

[FISHHEAD]

Don't even see VCU listed currently on the 5D futures board

Thanks -FH-. Sounds like this could be a +ev opportunity here for me in the long run..

[FISHHEAD]

....just glanced at the CFB futures at 5D

 

 

Two teams listed at precisely 200-1

 

ASU

IOWA

[milwaukee mike]

yeah you could make $1 by hedging as long as northwestern isn't a 3-1 underdog too many times
