Convo odds

[93Bulldog]

It's going to be a very entertaining three days of basketball as the district tournament finals begin on Thursday.

Poll question:

The odds EVERY No. 1 seed advances is set at 25:1 ... In real betting terms that means you bet $1 to win $25.
The odds at least ONE No. 1 seed does not advance is set at 5:1

Be interesting to see where posters would put their money.

#1 Zane Trace vs #2 Fairfield Union
#1 Sheridan vs #2 Jackson
#1 Adena vs #7 Chesapeake
#1 Wheelersburg vs #6 Alexander
#1 Coal Grove vs #3 Waterford
#1 New Boston vs #2 Trimble

EVERY single one? I don't see it happening.

If I had to guess, one of Adena, Zane Trace, or Sheridan will go down.

Burg, New Boston, and Coal Grove are heavy favorites.


However, I would most definitely bet 10:1 that ALL advance over 5:1 that NONE advance, if that is the question.

Ah yes, that's why bookies live in mansions and degenerate gamblers on the street. Most fall for the 'better odds' trick every time. lol

I’d only go to about $10 on all advancing...to win $100

Sheridan/Adena/ZT could all lose

If that is your thinking, why not bet $50 on them to not advance? Win $250. lol

[93Bulldog]

I would probably bet $100 on them to not advance. Walk out with a cool $500 in my pocket.

1. It's high school basketball and district finals - anything can happen on the big stage.
2. My bet would be based on me thinking Fairfield Union wins that D2 match-up. Gut feeling.

If the bet is paying 5 to 1 for only 1 of those 6 to lose then I’m placing $5000 on it and trying to find more $ to bet

No way am I that confident.

There is a good chance all those No. 1 teams win this weekend.

Didn’t see the 5/1 part

No chance they all advance. I’m with Lucas. I’m putting every penny I have on that.

I'm also confused by the wording.... It says "The odds EVERY No. 1 seed does not advance is set at 5:1"

So EVERY 1 seed has to lose? That clearly should have way higher odds... like 100:1 if not more that ALL the #1 seeds go down.


If you're saying that only ONE of the 6 goes down for 5:1.... I'm with Lucas, I'm betting my house, retirement, etc.

[93Bulldog]

Yeah, that is worded wrong. I'll fix it

[93Bulldog]

The odds EVERY No. 1 seed advances is set at 25:1 ... In real betting terms that means you bet $1 to win $25.
The odds at least ONE No. 1 seed does not advance is set at 5:1

Got ya.

Then I'm betting heavily on the 5:1 that at least ONE #1 seed goes down.

[burgfella69]

I'll bet the house a 1 seed loses

[93Bulldog]

How about I make it 25:1 that every No. 1 seed wins.

[Ironman92]

Red Sox in 6

[93Bulldog]

Fairfield Union straight up +125 is the bet.
The 2.5 is ok, but that's not enough points to sway me off the value bet.

Every penny I have on Wheelersburg +12 even though I’m guessing that’s a typo and should be the other way around lol.
