that big 10 thing just got ugly....

Yep. The "impossible" in the form of a 3-team parlay happened. It was around +300 *(IL over WI) *+160 (MN over MSU) *130 (MN over Purdue) = 23 to 1. But it happened. Pretty sure both Illinois and Minny are in now.

Big 10: UNDER 5 (-120). Not a chance in hell they get 6. They will get 5 if Illinois gets in. If Illinois loses to Wiscy in 1st rd of Big 10 tourney, could be 4 teams

SEC: OVER 4 (-120). Kentucky, Tenn, Vandy, & Fla are in. If Miss or Miss St has a good tourney run, could break bubble and make it 5

Mt West: UNDER 4 (-1000). Lots of juice but free money if SDSU doesnt get in. At the most, they get 4. BYU, New Mex, & UNLV are locks. SDSU likely has to beat New Mex. If they do, this bet pushes. If not, you win. NO WAY a 5th team goes

What happened to all the free $$ ? None of the 3 wagers will be winners. Mt. West will get 4, Big 10 could easily get 6 to make that one an loser and I really don't see how Fla. is any kind of lock to get in. Miss. State of course has the best chance to get in . I think Miss. State should be in and Florida out !

What do I need to do for "free money"?

I didn't see this thread until today. Are there forms to fill out?

PS: smells like a Nigerian scam to me.

In fairness, the big 10 getting 6 teams was like a 20-1 shot...but it happened (I think).

Actually for all of the clowns in this thread who are trying to question the "free money" - clearly you don't know how this gambling game goes. Did you not see the Big 10 line move to -800 on under 5 teams and +600 on over 5 teams. All of these lines moved like crazy. The free money is because the lines were soft and were all going to get hit in the same direction making the takeback "free money". Take a class in gambling 101

I just don't think there is room for Minny and Illinois both. If both get in, and Miss St gets left out, then that wouldn't be right.

Very close call but I think considering their key wins, they both should be in. One of them will get screwed I'm sure as yesterday was not a good day for the bubble teams !

Is free money the same thing as a lock?

Right because you explained this so well in your original post. If this is actually what you meant, you would have explained that. How convenient when you realize you are wrong, your concept completely changes. Why take the time to break down every conference if you were just planning on a hedge?

That is how it works, Terps.

Statement 1 (pregame): I have Indy to win the Super Bowl. It's a LOCK.

Statement 2 (postgame): I bought back all of it at halftime.
