How are bettors playing the Men's title game and what do the sportsbooks need? Patrick Everson breaks down the betting action, including one interesting best-case scenario for a book.
A week into April, the March Madness odds market comes to a close with a monster matchup of No. 1 seeds: Defending national champion UConn meets Purdue on Monday night. The Huskies are scorching hot in NCAA Tournament play. Across the 2023 and 2024 NCAA Tourneys, Connecticut is 11-0 straight up and against the spread . Yet The SuperBook is in the unusual — and beneficial — position of needing the favorite in Monday’s final. 'We have serious Purdue championship liability, while UConn is fine.
Perfect Position To be clear, Michaelson isn’t lamenting The SuperBook’s position. It’s not often that oddsmakers need the favorite, particularly in such a high-profile game. 'This is where you want to be. You’d rather need the favorite than the ‘dog. That’s why we were big UConn fans Saturday,' Michaelson said.
