March Madness is here and none of the casinos have a mobile gaming app ready for gamblers in Arkansas.
In classic Arkansas fashion, bettors can deposit money into accounts at Southland Casino and look at the odds boost to +120 for Arkansas -4.5 with a $25 limit (I say place the bet but the model is doubtful.. damn the computers!) and STILL not be able to place the wager because you haven’t downloaded the iOs app that doesn’t exist. Or you’re not placing wagers from a desktop computer. Or you never sent in the documents stating you are where you say you are. I guess we should have seen this coming. If you find yourself headed to the casino on St. Patrick’s Day here’s our best bets:
*Model does not figure in author’s SEC bias*
*Model has every team covering the spread against the SEC teams*
*Model hates betting unders*
Model Favorite: Norfolk State +20.5 model difference from Vegas here is 9 which is the widest on the board. The model has the final score at Baylor 81, NSU 68.
Sprinkle some underdog money lines for some early excitement model likes these teams outright or covering:
- Colorado State ML vs. Michigan at +100
- South Dakota State ML vs. Providence at +115 (yes, you can get a 13-seed on the moneyline against a 4)
Author Favorite: Arkansas 1H -2.5 (Trust Muss not the talking heads)
Also consider: Memphis -3 vs. Boise State (model has them winning by 4 plus Duke Deuce has been riding with the Hogs so pull for Penny and the Tigers to cover)
