You better you bet with Nick and Ken here on this terrific Tuesday talking the NBA and I'll talk some college basketball

Ken we can talk about some results from last night bail or being a Oklahoma State North Carolina beating Florida State

Let's give a quick primer though with conference tournament play underway with the Atlantic Sun on Monday night producing some pretty like like fun

Results at the end of games here. Can how do bet conference tournaments in college basketball?

Yeah, so I just you know, I don't think there's gonna be like a million dollar bed in here

Maybe even not a million dollar piece of advice, but just

Maybe understand how the market is created for the tournament itself and then once you know that

Try to think about how you're you could find a valuable bet. That's different. So here's what I mean

You're gonna look at the board

You're gonna see all the teams listed to win their conference tournament

But to the ACC here's Virginia and here's North Carolina. Here's Duke. Here's Miami all these teams with prices next to them

Those prices are essentially determined

Basically, you know, a tournament is like a like a closed system

I think I'm using that correctly. We're like all the outcome all the possibilities are known

We know who's gonna play who we know what percentage of the time the quarter is gonna be these teams what percentage of the time the semifinal is gonna be like

It's all known as opposed to think about the start of an NFL season

We don't have any clue who's making the playoffs. So the price is kind of float

They're just kind of random because we don't know who's making it yet

And we don't know what the path are we know the path here for every team

So the price in the futures market is just like a simulated tournament

This team's gonna win about this much of the time using like kind of the rating for each team

So if it's just like, you know, a pretty smart way to do it. Okay, like how could how could turn how could you find a valuable bet
