This seems to imply that either Ole Miss is the easiest bet of all time OR that we will be #6 on Saturday...

Ohio State

Sloppy

Whatever Vegas knows, it's not that we're going to be #6, because that is highly unlikely.

Yeah Ohio State and Indiana are already guaranteed top 4 and thus not included clearly

Okay, I see now.

that literally makes no sense.

That is extremely odd. Those odds assume we're getting a bye

There is no way that is correct after Tuesday's ranking, has to be an old screenshot

I checked the app. It's still up. We're also the 4th favorite to make the semis at -110

It's actual legit right now on fanDuel - just found it myself

That's wild.

Well there is absolutely zero value on that bet right now

Of those odds are real, bet the farm on Ole Miss.

Are we sure this is up to date and not from a week ago?

Rule of thumb. If you can't bet the "no" it's a sucker bet at a crap price

So… Moss is coming back eh

I don't think anyone is suggesting to bet it

It's assuming we play 11 or 12 seed. And with the way acc has shaped up, it'll be JMU or UNT. HTH

Then who are they assuming Oregon plays?

Vegas odds assume nothing more than odds to goad a balanced book.

All this likely means is Georgia and Aggie fans have been out tagging playoff futures on their teams really heavily for a few weeks

This is completely incorrect. Vegas books purposefully take proprietary positions. The traditional balanced book margins are not enough to justify the floor space at the casinos.

On occasion? Maybe… but broadly this can't be true. And I certainly wouldn't expect it on futures betting. Particularly on playoff outcomes which should have fairly large action on them.

Odds are broadly dictated by platforms that don't take floor space. As such, they don't need to take prop positions to earn margin. They just balance risk. If 'Vegas' worked differently, there would likely be large arbs between casinos and online oddsmakers despite the vig.

These are odds that we will make the quarterfinals. I think some of you think they are odds to win the Championship Game, seem pretty spot on to me.
