Xavier's odds on winning tournament

Postby Il Saggio » Wed Mar 26, 2008 11:30 am

Bodoglife.com lists the odds at 9/2. Is anyone betting on it?

Find a friend in Vegas.

Was just out there last weekend, as of Sunday the odds on the regional winner were much better:

UCLA - 2/5
Xavier - 8/1
WVU - 12/1
W.Ky - can't remember

XU to win the whole tourney was 25/1

Also, X opened up as a 2 point dog in Vegas. Oddsmakers look to want to have the money come in on X, and after the trends I saw last weekend I'm not sure that I like that.

I don't pretend to be the Wizard of Odds, but it's interesting that there's better odds on X winning the West than WVU, but we're an underdog to them. Hmmm.
