Shopping for Futures value!
We are OH SO CLOSE to tip-off time for March Madness as we go to press. Something called Radford is going to battle the wacky LIU Brooklyn Blackbirds around 6:40pm EST tonight. We will be watching.
MEGA, do you have a SPICY HOT TAKE on the teams that got shafted?
Not really. To be honest, we would rather see teams like St Mary’s and MTSU (just to throw out examples) get a shot as opposed to mediocre teams from major conferences. That is just speaking as a fan and someone who still remembers watching the unstoppable Richmond Spiders beat Syracuse in 1991 and Santa Clara topple Arizona in 1993. Having a few more of the little guys in the dance is more interesting to us. But, we digress.
Let’s go SHOPPING!!!
The older we get. The crankier we get. The more we enjoy playing futures. Yes, your cash is tied up, but you really get some fantastic value AND get rooting interests for any entire season (or tournament). Not to mention the possibility of a nice score. And there is always to option of the “hedge” to lock in equity. More on that topic at a later date.
Lots of handicappers agonize over football games being -5 or -5.5 and power rating differentials of fractions of a point when it comes to individual games. “Ya, that linebacker is worth about 0.00003 points. NO! he is worth 0.000000005.” It goes on and on.
In our view there is not enough talk about how much value you can get in the futures market. Here is the key. SHOP AROUND! Get as many outs as you can. In the interest of time, we will only list a small sample of teams with available odds at major books to win MARCH MADNESS. Take a look at the range. WHOA, NELLIE indeed.
It pays to shop around, yo……Odds to win the whole enchilada
Virginia – +501, +550, +600, +620
Michigan St – +800, +846, +925, +1000
West By God Virginia – +1847, +2500, +2800, +4400
Houston – +8000, +9900, +9969, +11000
Wanna back a short favorite like the Cavaliers? You can get 6-1 vs 5-1. Feel like taking a little taste of some sweet Sparty action? Why not get 10-1 as opposed to 8-1? Think the Mountaineers will SHOCK the WORLD? Don’t be lazy. Find something closer to 40-1 and not 20-1. Houston is a sexy super-longshot pick among pundits. Grab over 100-1. Don’t cheat yourself.
We have really noticed an uptick in our overall profitability by targeting futures markets and getting GOOD VALUE. You do not have to hit too many decent ones to turn a profit on the year, and bagging 10-1 vs 8-1 or 40-1 vs 20-1 adds up BIG TIME in the long run.
Take your game to the next level if you are able to find some additional outs.
