In case you were unaware, SBNation has a gambling partner in DraftKings Sportsbook. So we occasionally do those cross-promotion things to help them out. Because if there’s one thing we need more of in these parts it’s sports gambling.
As a proficient non-gambler, I still find odds making to be a fascinating experiment. After all, one of the things which led Ken Pomeroy into his College Basketball algorithms was an attempt to figure out how Vegas comes up with their odds.
So this gambling post is about Futures bets. Let’s start with the odds to make the final four:
- Alabama +250
- Tennessee +350
- Kentucky +750
- Arkansas +1100
- Auburn +1600
- Missouri +3500
- Florida +3500
- Mississippi State +4000
- Texas A&M +4000
- Ole Miss +8000
- Vanderbilt +8000
- LSU +10000
- Georgia +10000
- No odds for South Carolina
I’m surprised Kentucky is still 3rd most considering how uneven their season has been, and coming off a butt whooping at home at the hands of Arkansas.
