Kstate -190. I never bet when giving such bad odds but I feel like this is a lock, so I'll prob lose

I never bothered to learn the +110s and -$190s and all that (there is a decimal option where I bet). But betting something -$190 means you are betting $190 to win $100. Is that, right?
So a standard 50/50 line will usually offer -110, meaning there is a 10% vig. Right? |

I had Kansas over Kentucky in the final with a FF of Kansas, Syracuse, Kentucky, Villanova.
Amazingly, I am currently #2 in my pool because I picked Murray St, Cornell, Washington, and St. Mary's to give me a slight boost before the bloodbath that was this weekend. I'm going to need a Kentucky vs "Not Syracuse or Kansas St." championship game with the "Not Syracuse or Kansas St." winning. So, Evan Turner vs John Wall with Turner coming out on top would be a nice championship game to watch.

I had the exact some F4 as GT. Now I'm going to kick myself for not taking my Spartans to go farther, although I'm not sure they'll get past N. Iowa without Kalin Lucas. Anyway, amazing buzzer beater for Izzo & Co. tonight!

I'm still in second. But, there's no way for me to make up ground on the guy ahead of me (He has KState advancing and I had Syracuse).
$70 will be nice, though.

I'm currently 4th in my pool ($10 entry fee, 95 entries, $665 for 1st, $190 for 2nd, $95 for 3rd).
Basically, the championship game looks irrelevant. Everybody within striking distance either has Kentucky to win it all or their winner is gone. One person has 4 F4 teams left, most have 2 or 3. I have Kentucky over K State in the final game and Baylor as my other live F4 team. Key games for me are Kentucky-West Virginia, and cheer for whoever is playing Duke. Even though I have Duke to win tonight, if they go down to Purdue, half my serious competition is in deep doodoo. Still lots of ways I can be out of the money but this is the closest I've ever been.
