Time

I was at Southpoint and to start the season BYU was 500/1 to win it all. Now...

Is that the WCC tourney odds?

I hope our WCC tourney odds weren't 500/1 at the start of the season

SUAVO

No to win it all

gmoney7

I'm seeing 80:1

I took a picture of it but don’t know how to upload it here

Other places in Vegas are giving 80:1. If it's really 15:1 bet against it for

ayfan

I think it is 80-1

BlueFrog

I’m looking right at it lol

gmoney7

take a picture and post it. There are teams in the top 5 not getting 15-1

BlueFrog

2/22/20 2:06pm

Yep. Even San Diego State is 20/1. BYU is 80/1.

I figured it out! Looks like it was for last week , but here you go

I don't bet, but I would have been tempted to jump on that. Greatest hedge in

Sandstone Cougar

I do bet!! Was going to but got upset when I saw what the odds use to be

gmoney7

2/22/20 2:48pm

You would have jumped on BYU at 15:1? Why would anyone bet with those odds?

The Dude Abides

2/22/20 3:20pm

Because you think BYU has less than a 6.667 percent chance of winning a title

ayfan

2/22/20 3:31pm

I don’t think you know how betting works.

The Dude Abides

2/22/20 3:35pm

The poster was saying he would have bet against BYU

ayfan

You can’t bet “against BYU” though.

The Dude Abides

2/22/20 3:41pm

Isn't that how the line moves? Betting for or against an event happening?

ayfan

2/22/20 3:45pm

You can’t bet on BYU to not win the title.

The Dude Abides

2/22/20 3:47pm

Ok got it. I guess odd makers just adjust the odds, I assumed it was entirely

ayfan

2/22/20 3:55pm

there isn't a BYU won't win the title bet

BlueFrog

2/22/20 3:51pm

Now you see why I don’t bet. I am an idiot when it comes to betting

Sandstone Cougar

Sorry. I see you are being sarcastic. My mistake.

VISN, Brent Musberger network said $500K bet on BYU to win NC

chirocoug

2/22/20 2:48pm

Is $500k a lot on a team like BYU? Seems like a lot to me.

TempeCoug

2/22/20 3:46pm

BYU was a great value bet. Over a season 500k is not that much money

chirocoug

2/22/20 7:48pm

interesting. you have a link?

BlueFrog

2/22/20 3:56pm

nvrmnd. saw your last line

BlueFrog

2/22/20 3:58pm
