Is GT @200:1 to win the ACC Decent Value?

Those odds have me thinking stranger things have happened and if all you need to do is get to the championship to guarantee a nice payout with a hedge…could be something worth exploring.

I suspect getting 200:1 is reasonable.

You only need to be the tallest midget in the coastal. Then win one game against...? Clemson/FSU/NC State? If you had 200 shots at the season (like groundhogs day) you don't think Tech could win even one?

I'd slap 50 on it if I was in Vegas or AC.​
 
250:1 on BetMGM if I’m interpreting +25000 correctly.

It's GREAT odds!
... for the sports books who lure people into giving away their money on fringe futures bets. These are eye catching lines (but don't reflect the actual odds) vacuuming up free cash from people who are making fun non-serious gestures to demonstrate their school loyalty - and why the gambling palaces are literally gilded in pure gold.

No one really expects to win these loyalty bets. The only way to "win" these kinds of bets is if you lose $10 but convince yourself you got more than $10 worth of good feelings out of it. Either way, they got your $10 for risking nothing. So by all means have fun, frame your betting stubs as a collection and hang with your old style paper tickets, programs, and other paraphernalia in your Tech Room as a loyalty chotzkie, but don't bet anything significant if you are actually counting on a payout.
 
I'd take that bet if it were for the ACC Coastal Division, as who the hell knows who will win that. Spin that wheel of destiny! As for the winning the whole ACC, good luck beating Clemson in the ACCCG.
 
Got up to 600:1 after UCF game.

snapped back to 200:1 after Pitt. Damn meant to check.
 
/es 2000 puts would give much better returns. I'm a big GT homer but let's try to keep it rational here

This reminds me of a Auburn alum friend of mine who back in 2010 put $100 on them to win the National Championship at the beginning on the season. I think the odds were 20:1.
 
I've read a lot of hope and hype on these boards in the past but the desperation that some of you guys were obviously feeling is a little disturbing even if you're a superfan.

We've got a long road ahead yet.
