Betting on Madness

Betting on Madness Here's a sickly funny week of betting at a Las Vegas Sportsbook from ESPN Page 2. "There are only two games left to bet, and I'm still $179,000 in the red overall.

Then my best friend Gregg comes up with a brilliantly evil plan: a money line bet. No points, just odds. The old-fashioned way. My team beats your team, but give me odds. In this case, 5-to-1.

But who to take? UAB over the No. 1 seed, Kentucky? Or Pacific over Kansas, a 12-point
favorite? In a very scientific formula, I decide to go with UAB. Why? Because UAB beat my boss K.J.'s team, the Huskies, in the first round. This made K.J. quite cranky, and I love to make K.J. cranky whenever and wherever possible."
