Morning Call has some interesting facts about the 2015 Final Four Betting Line.
6: THE PROS ARE BETTING WISCONSIN
The KY-WI betting line opened at -6 for Kentucky but "significant professional action on Wisconsin" has driven that number down to 5.
5: SMALLEST SPREAD OF THE YEAR FOR KENTUCKY
The -5 number for Kentucky is its smallest favorite all year, tied with its -5 at Louisville in December.
4: 70 PERCENT OF BETS BACK DUKE OVER MICHIGAN STATE
Duke is a -5 favorite over Michigan State, but Vegas has let 70 percent of the bets go Duke's way. This tells me that someone very knowledgeable is putting their money on MSU covering.
3: IN FALL OF 2014, KY WAS A 50-1 LONGSHOT TO GO UNDEFEATED
Sportsbooks "will suffer a big loss if this prop cashes".
2: THE ODDS AGAINST A PERFECT BRACKET
The odds against a perfect bracket thus far in the tournament (picking all 60 games correctly): 2,300,000,000,000 (2.3 trillion) to 1.
1: POSSIBLE TITLE GAME SPREADS
• Wisconsin -5.5 over Michigan St
• Wisconsin -1 over Duke
• Kentucky -11 over Michigan St
• Kentucky -6 over Duke
