First off, I hope everyone had a great Holiday weekend.

Seeing it anywhere from 6-1 to 9-1. I am loving the make up of this team. I know, it's hard to win with a core mostly made up of freshman, but we are deep at every position. I just feel this teams versatility/positionless basketball (cliche) will translate, particularly on the defensive end. I think we have some dogs on this team as far as taking pride in stopping people on defense.

Bovada has it at 9-1 right now. (aka for people that don't bet, you bet $100 to win $900 etc.). I would rather invest in UK to make the season more exciting than it will already be. Will also bet individual games as well.

Thoughts?
 
I'm not a big gambler but 6-1 to 9-1 seems about right. I think it says we have a lot of potential but a lot of unknowns, too. I agree with you in that I like the makeup of this team. If Green and Alexander can be the guys we think they can be, then this is a final four caliber team. Anything beyond that is pretty much up to the basketball gods, lol.

I hate threads like this. It's just a reminder that I had 12-1 on the 2015 team. I made the bet the day the Harrison twins announced they were coming back. I ended up going back twice more throughout the day because some friends wanted in on it. I remember the last time I went back the lady remembered me and told me she couldn't remember anybody getting hammered as hard as UK did that day. The next day it was 4-1.
 
This green team will lose lots of games. Odds will go higher during the regular season.

I don't like the value at all at 9-1. At some point during the season it's nearly a certainty that you'll get better odds than that. This team will lose some games early and during SEC play.

the conspiracy theorist in me says... and thus Higgins was called when so much money was to lose on UK winning it all on people who got the 12-1 odds and crazy nuts who bet on the 40-0 odds with they were like 1000-1
