Futures Bet - Wyoming MWC

For all you gambling degenerates, what are the books odds on a MWC championship for the Pokes, and how do you make such a bet?
 
Seems a little low. Weren't we like 20-1 going into the MW tourney the year we won with Nance and Co? I think @Wyo2dal cashed out $2k on a $100 bet that year. We were in 1st through the first half of that season and still was 20-1. I would think 25-1 would be more appropriate.
 
16-1 on Caesars. Boise state is almost even money and fresno is +450. I wouldn't touch it. New coach and new QB and we've never won it before. The only really interesting bet I see is csewe under 6 1/2 wins. They have Texas and CU OOC. I'm not sold on their defense or QB. I see them losing 7 games.

So, bet $1,000 - take home would be...?

On the csewe under? bet 1,000 and get back just over 1900. Standard juice bet.

yeah, occasionally they'll give a little more to one side or the other. I think i cashed out CU over 3.5 wins at +130 but I only did that because I bet a friend they'd win less than 5 and they payout was good.

My book has CSU at -120 for Under 6.5. I think that's $1830 returned on $1000. Oddly enough Wyoming is -125 for Under 6.5. Not too much confidence in coach Tuna Salad on Rye.

I'm worried about this season. I think the oddsmakers are looking at all the question marks and thinking this will be a regress season.

Not a great return but I like the blowbos to win 3+ this year.

Are you referring to New Mexico? That win total was 2 1/2 the last time I looked. I was actually thinking of taking the under on them. They will be the underdog in every game they play this year. The only winnable games I see for them are Montana St. and New Mexico state. Bronco has a tough task to turn that mess around. They don't even get to play Nevada.

Under on 2.5 seems to be very risky considering how low of a bar that is and the likelihood that they would pull off at least one unexpected win (perhaps an opponent is hit with injury bug).

Yes, I think they take nmsu with all the turnover there as well. I like them against the bobcats which leaves 1 more win. I like the Bronco hire and think he'll do enough to squeak out 3 to 4 wins. Honestly that game always worries me for the POKES. We're 2-3 down there in the past 10 years.

We've been bad enough on the road and Bronco might have them playing well enough by then to be a tough out for the POKES.

Preseason predictions for Wyoming are all over the place if you look at the major college football publications.

Really all boils down to Svoboda. The media sees a lightly recruited JUCO QB that wasn't good enough to earn the starting spot in his first two years at a G5 school. Wyoming fans see a QB with prototypical NFL size, elite arm strength, and a fair amount of hype from the coaching staff. As Svoboda goes, so goes this season.

One thing that would really help Svoboda is the emergence of a big play receiver. Boddie Jr, Alex Brown, and Pelissier are serviceable possession type receivers, but we badly need a receiver that can make 4-5 big plays a game...a guy with a 20+ yards per catch average. I'm cautiously optimistic that Chris Durr Jr may just be that guy. Without a receiver like that, I just don't see our offense taking much of a step forward regardless of who is at QB.

Not sure if this is common knowledge. Most of you seem to be way ahead of me regarding the inner workings of the team. But I was listening to the Ryan Thorburn podcast and was quite surprised the offense is going no huddle this year. And that the offense is going to more of a spread formation like when Brett Smith was here. If Svoboda isn't any good, it's going to be a really long year.

They're currently the underdogs to the Bobcats.

An 8 point underdog, in fact.

That is wild to me. I understand Montana State is a very good FCS team and New Mexico has been one of the worst FBS teams the past couple years, but that large of a spread is surprising to me. Especially with this game being in Albuquerque.

Personally, I suspect New Mexico will win this game. Bronco is a good coach and will have that New Mexico team ready.
