Well, we definitely got Bodog's attention yesterday, as the #16 props are now 8-1, and "Other" in the "Lowest seed to reach Final Four" prop is +225. Here's another good one, at Sportsbook:
This same prop is -152/+132 at Pinnacle, so the value in -130 is rather obvious. But I think even Pinny is underestimating the bottom 12. According to their current money lines, here are the odds to win outright for 11 of them (ignoring Duke's opponent):
These numbers put the fair value for the prop at -180, so I think it's a good bet even at Pinnacle.
As you can imagine, this props has the potential to be VERY controversial. They were nice enough to specify regarding Duke, but do you know which of these categories the Syracuse Orangeman would fall into? I didn't. Luckily, The TMLJ was around to investigate into this issue. After some frustrating back-and-forth with Bodog customer service, here is the answer he eventually got:We would like to first apologize for the miscommunication in reference to your prop wager.Please note we consider man a fruit and not a human.
The TMLJ: Do you consider Buckeye a plant or a man?Bodog: In regards to your inquiry, because Buckeye mascot is made to resemble a nut and therefore we will classify this mascot as "Other".
