Gambling On The Games: NCAA Conference Championship Odds

Dan BooneAug 3, 2008

Its hard to hit a proposition bet on a NCAA National Championship.

So perhaps take a stab at a conference championship winner.

Sure the odds are shorter but your shot at winning better. And its abet you can enjoy all season long unless you take a long shot like Syracuse at +4000 and they immediately lose their first three Big East games badly.

A note the +250 or say +500 means  is the return on your bet for every 100 dollars yoy wager. A 200 dollar wager on a + 250 team wins you 500 bucks. A 200 dollar wager on Syracuse winning the Big East at +4000 returns one a whooping 8000 grand if the Orange roll.

Which I highly doubt.

So here goes the ACC.

   BOSTON COLLEGE      +2000 
   CLEMSON      +225
   DUKE      +7500
   FLORIDA STATE      +400
   GEORGIA TECH      +1000
   MARYLAND      +1200 
   MIAMI      +350 
   NORTH CAROLINA      +800 
   NORTH CAROLINA STATE      +5000 
   VIRGINIA      +5000 
   VIRGINIA TECH      +250
   WAKE FOREST      +700

Chuck the chalk. To get some value on your wager try a stab at a semi long shot.

Well maybe not Duke. Don't go that far off the reservation.

The ACC odds are pretty short on all the favs.

Is Wake resurgent?

The Big Twelve blast off.

   BAYLOR      +5000 
   COLORADO      +1000
   IOWA STATE      +6000
   KANSAS      +700
   KANSAS STATE      +4000
   MISSOURI      +300
   NEBRASKA      +1000 
   OKLAHOMA      +150 
   OKLAHOMA STATE      +2500
   TEXAS      +200
   TEXAS A&M      +2000
   TEXAS TECH      +700

The usual suspects Oklahoma and Texas are the lead dogs. Maybe Missouri has turned the corner for good but the Okies are loaded.

When will the Cornhuskers come back?

The Big East Feast

   CINCINNATI      +800 
   CONNECTICUT      +1000 
   LOUISVILLE      +1500 
   PITTSBURGH      +500  
   RUTGERS      +500
   SOUTH FLORIDA      +180 
   SYRACUSE      +4000
   WEST VIRGINIA      +110

Conference with the fewest teams and a short favorite. A chalk to be chucked just for the potential of a bit of new coach chaos.

Syracuse has really fallen. Maybe Louisville will be long shot lucky with an NFL quality QB.

Louisville lost a lot but +1500 is loose slot payoff.

PAC Ten Paradise

   ARIZONA       +2000 
   ARIZONA STATE       +400 
   CALIFORNIA       +800 
   OREGON       +700
   OREGON STATE       +4000 
   STANFORD       +3000
   SOUTHERN CAL       -350
   UCLA       +800
   WASHINGTON       +2000 
   WASHINGTON STATE       +4000

Well if ya like USC, really, really, like USC then you must lay 350 bucks for every 100 you want to win.

But I don't recommend it.

Lots of nice money returns in the PAC 10 if you think someone can sack the Trojan King.

Seek your Trojan Horse

The sultry SEC.

   ALABAMA       +500  
   ARKANSAS       +4800 
   AUBURN       +200
   FLORIDA       +200
   GEORGIA       +180
   KENTUCKY       +3800
   LSU       +380
   OLE MISS       +5800 
   MISSISSIPPI STATE       +2800
   SOUTH CAROLINA       +1100
   TENNESSEE       +600
   VANDERBILT       +4800 

The SEC has the number one team in Georgia but also has high power parity.

The top teams can always knock off another favorite and they will be looking to neuter the Bulldogs.

LSU with the quality of athletes its has been producing has to draw interest at +380.

The Big Ten battle features five teams in the top 25.

   ILLINOIS       +380
   INDIANA       +2800
   IOWA       +800
   MICHIGAN       +500
   MICHIGAN STATE       +1100
   MINNESOTA       +4800 
   NORTHWESTERN       +1800
   OHIO STATE      -250  
   PENN STATE       +400
   PURDUE       +1100  
  WISCONSIN       +280

Ohio State is again stocked with NFL talent.

But again chuck the chalk.

Though its tough to do when the Buckeyes have both barrel's loaded.

Does Paterno, finally with an exceptional offensive line, have a last chance to win the Big Ten?

Likely not.

Michigan, changing offenses, will be in flux.

Wisconsin always seems to lose a Conference game it shouldn't.

Hard to beat Ohio State.

Pass.

But you don't have to.

Go luck and happy hunting.

Let me know the hot picks
