Ceasars Palace Sports Book has already set the odds for next season’s NCAA Basketball Championship.
Kentucky is near the top of the odds but Virginia is considered the favorite.
Odds are already out in Las Vegas for next year’s college basketball title.
Caesars Palace was the first sportsbook to post odds and has installed the Virginia Cavaliers as the favorites at 5-1 (Texas Tech is 30-1).
The Duke Blue Devils and Kentucky Wildcats have the second-best odds at 8-1, followed by Gonzaga at 10-1 and Michigan State at 12-1. Duke’s Tre Jones on Monday announced he would return to school next season, but the Blue Devils are expected to lose Zion Williamson, Cam Reddish and RJ Barrett.
“Virginia’s only loss to graduation is reserve big man Jack Salt, so they will be stacked again next year if no one leaves for the NBA,” Matt Lindeman, manager of trading at Caesars, told ESPN. “You always have to stay conservative with Duke and Kentucky until you know who is leaving and where the unsigned recruits are going. I’d much rather open too low and bump a team when guys leave than open too high and take a sharp bet when they unexpectedly come back to school.”
