Yes, it’s Easter this weekend. But in the USA it’s also college basketball finals. Basketball betting is peaking at online sportsbooks like Intertops Sportsbook now that the field has been narrowed to the Final Four: The Kentucky Wildcats, Wisconsin Badgers, Michigan State Spartans and Duke Blue Devils.
The Kentucky Wildcats started the Madness as a strong favorite for the national crown and they still are, but that doesn’t mean that the 2015 Final Four is a forgone conclusion. After being given a real scare by Notre Dame on Saturday, coach John Calipari’s boys now face a Wisconsin team desperate to avenge a one-point national semi-final defeat against the Wildcats last year.
Tom Izzo guided number 7 seed Michigan State to the title in the South Regional and believes his Spartans will take Duke in their Saturday showdown.
“We have three number one seeds in the Final Four and a really dangerous underdog,” commented Intertops Sportsbook manager.
“Our players really know their hoops, though. We’ve had some heavy action on the Spartans to surprise in the South from the word go. Many customers who bet on Michigan State to win it all at odds of +5000 will be facing a nail-biting Easter weekend now!”
“Early upsets mean that none of our customers had a perfect March Madness bracket, but the $25,000 prize we put up will be split between the top 25 entries.”
