25-1 for ISU seems optimistic.

 

[Cyclonepride]

Yeah, I would think we'd be sitting at 50-1 (with no disrespect to the team). I wonder when a team predicted to be in the lower 1/3 has actually won the title?

Or, Vegas doesn't think we will be as bad as many of the "fans" do.

Not only Vegas ...

 

[MeowingCows]

It's almost shameful to see the gap between KU and everybody else.

Not that ISU or TT is realistically much better.

Can I short Iowa State? I would put us closer to 100-1. As would I Texas Tech and West Virginia. Just a hard conference to win. To turn a 0-2 win conference season in to 7-2 (minimum, probably either 8-1 or 9-0) is nearly impossible. I'd then have KSU and Texas closer to 20-1.

 

[Chitowncy]

25 - 1 is incredibly optimistic.

I will be cheering the clones on and I am optimistic ISU can get to 6 wins somehow, but even I can't fathom odds like that. Seems like 200 - 1 would be better. I wonder if Vegas is trying to tease some action with that line?

Even the best ISU teams would have had odds barely better than that. This conference is tough and it is hard to imagine ISU stringing together 7 or 8 wins to win the conference.

 

[mj4cy]

I see no chance for Tech, ISU, or KU to win it. Anyone else can jump up and take it.

 

[GTO]

Shock the world, baby!

 

[IAStubborn]

25-1 for ISU seems optimistic.

I will give someone 40:1 odds....

Last year, TCU. The year before k-state.

Understand your point as some fans are pretty negative as fans will be. But these are odds to WIN the conference. We could go 8-1 and not win the conference.

.

Not!

 

[Farnsworth]

So your saying there's a chance!

I don't see many bets being put on some of the lower teams, not enough realistic payoff.

 

[Cyclonesince78]

If it was 10,000 to 1, I still wouldn't put money on ISU. Whoever bets that at 25-1 is a fool.

 

[NorthCyd]

Right, because you aren't a real fan if you think those odds are a little high for a school that hasn't won a conference championship in over 100 years and is currently on a 2 game losing streak to 1-AA schools. I guess you and Cyclone Jerry are the only true "fans".

 

[ThurgoodMarshal]

Wow, those odds are quite a bit better than I was expecting.

 

[IAStubborn]

If it was 10,000 to 1, I still wouldn't put money on ISU. Whoever bets that at 25-1 is a fool.

@10,000 to 1 why not. $1 buck for that kind of return hell yeah. I know you are better off buying a powerball ticket.....

 

[NATEizKING]

I'd bet 1-1000 odds we don't win the conference.
