00:00 Meanwhile, the Huskies again will be just fine. 24-3 is still the mark for UConn. They are still the favorites to win a national championship at a +500 price.
00:15 They were -104 yesterday, Donnie, to reach the Final Four. An odds-on favorite in February. To get to the Final Four, they moved back slightly to a +125 number.
00:25 Yeah, and by the way, also, a guy like myself who hasn't bet any futures just yet on the UConn Huskies, you gotta like this.
00:32 Like, if you say, "You know what? I know how good a basketball team they are." Yes, you're going to take losses in the regular season. You play in a very, very good conference.
00:39 So, how about another loss in the regular season for UConn for me? How about a second-round exit in the Big East Tournament as well?
00:45 Because then those 5-1 prices, Ben, turn into +650, +750, +850. And if you like, can we get them at a better shot here?
00:52 I think anybody sitting back on, "You know what, Ben? I don't know if I'm sold just yet on UConn. Let me see them run the table the rest of the way in the Big East and also the Conference Championship.
01:00 And then when that price is +350, now's the time to take them because they're hot." No. We think opposite here.
01:05 Give me a couple losses down the stretch. Give me an 8-to-1 price. I'll jump right back in on UConn and have a great time with it.
