Those are the Final Four odds set Sunday afternoon by oddsmakers at Las Vegas Sports Consultants.

Uconn at 6/5 is an off line!They shoot 60% from the foul line and that will hurt them this year! Duke should be favored but I'm glad they aren't! Georgia Tech at 6-1 is a great play rather laying under 2-1 for Uconn and Duke!

I kinda like GT just because they can win without having a great shooting night and those Twilight Zone nights can happen playing in domes in front of 40k plus. The only thing is Pinny has them at +191 for Saturday. Unless they are less than a +140 favorite, clearly a better bet to take them on the ML parlay. Considering they will face Duke or UConn you can call it an absolute lock they will be more than a +140 dog no matter who they would play.

None of those odds has any value whatsoever. Ga Tech 6-1 is no good at all. You can get +200 against OKST and they will surely be that or higher against Duke or UCONN. If they're +200 in both games that makes for a +800 parlay. Why in the world would anyone take +600 on a 2-teamer that will yield +800 or more? Haven't calcluated the hold on those numbers but offhand it looks really fricken high. Gee, thanks LVSC. Pinnacle will probably give +150, +220, +240, +750.

22.35% hold!!! Pathetic. They might as well rename the offering the 'Are you a dumbass futures'.

That is pretty typical for this. I did the math two years ago and came up with 24%. Someone else told me offhand he remembers that if anything they used to be 30% or more hold before the offshores started taking their business. LVSC's customers are casinos that get all those suckers that come to Vegas for the weekend and couldn't care less what the odds are, especially the ones that can't stay until Monday night so they want to get their action in while they can.

I am sure there are some books that will take those numbers and then cut them even more because they can.

Charlie- Now why would you even want to give a chicken shit outfit like Las Vegas Sports consultants credit for "setting" rip off prices like those? Those are larcenous odds which obviously makes them just fine for the gutless Las Vegas sports books that post them on the betting menu and won't blink an eye knowing full well they're f**king the rube tourists and idiot locals that continue to bet in these dives.
