Interesting. Six teams have better odds than the rest.

How does 2/3 odds work? If you win, you lose money?

Yes I know this is an Ole Miss troll thread, but I still am curious about this. I'm not a big gambler.

I noticed that.

I wonder if there is any correlation to SEC championships with those 6 and the rest of the league?

You get your money back plus 2/3 of your bet

With Alabama being so much more talented than everyone else, it doesn't make sense to put better odds on any other West team than on the probable contenders in the East. Any of them have a far better chance of getting into the SECCG than any West team other than Alabama, and they certainly have a better chance of springing the upset over Alabama in one game than any West team has of finishing ahead of them in an 8-game race for the division.

You bet three to win two.

Because Mizzou has a better chance to win the SEC than you two

I'd put $10 on UKroger and $5 each on Scar and MIZ.

Cuz I'm a sucker for the underdogs.

I give those odds about as much credence as I did the preseason basketball odds.

Total unmitigated horseshite.

Anyone want long odds on how those second seven finish?

Why don't you donate to your shite hole school so they can hire decent coaches and compete. You are essentially buying $5 scratch off lottery tickets with those bets - but we shouldn't hold you Mizzou folks to a reasonable person standard should we.

The right number is what you bet, and if you win your return will be your original bet plus the number on the left. In this case, you bet $3 and you win, you get $5 (original $3 returned, plus the $2 you won).

FWIW, that's a -150 moneyline. Astronomically high for the SEC championship preseason. LSU +350, Auburn +500, and so on.

I caught the O(le)Miss(ion), but did anyone else notice the order?

Auburn 5/1
Florida 9/1
Georgia 5/1

It's almost as if they had Florida at 5/1 at first, then decided at the last minute that was too generous - then forgot to move them down in the list.
