SB Winning Odds

[Adb6368]

First time thread starter here! 

I just got into a discussion with some people about the Panthers SB odds this year. I was lucky enough to be in Vegas last year over July 4th and put $100 on the Panthers to win the SB at 40-1. Now we all know how close I was to seeing $4,000 heading right to my pocket.

With that said, I am lucky enough to be heading back to Vegas September 8th which, coincidentally, coincides with the Thursday night opener against the Broncos. I looked into taking a day trip to Denver for the game but tickets are absolutely ridiculous so I decided to save the money for some sports betting while there. My question for the gallery is, knowing how close I was last year, does it even make sense to put another $100 on the Panthers this year when they are roughly 8-1. Doesn't seem to have quite the ring to it as 4'Gs did around this time last year. Note that I am fully on board saying this is our year. Or should I take this money and buy a plane ticket to Denver and be there to watch us get our redemption?

700 dollars profit on a 100 risk? Eh, not sure about that. 

 

Can you put money down on Superbowl 52 yet? Serious question.

I usually try to put money on is winning the conference and the super bowl, so that I can hedge my Super Bowl bet with my conference winnings and come out on top. 

Last year was the first time in many years that I did super bowl only, and I fuged myself big time there.

12-1 is still an incredible deal and sound investment.  Vegas says the Panthers have the highest odds of reaching the playoffs http://www.sportingnews.com/nfl/news/nfl-playoff-odds-chances-each-team-betting-picks-las-vegas/qqj8kwlj5ewa1bv5zqdq5vpbo and also have the highest O/U win total at 10.5.

The value in the more common Super Bowl futures odds is found in market size and more casual bettors favoring legacy, larger market teams (aka grandpaw's team).

A quick google search and it doesn't appear those are out yet. Makes sense considering Vegas doesn't know how the balance of powers could shift in a year with FA, injuries, and retirements. Imagine if someone put $100 on the GSW to win the 2017 NBA championship 2 years ago? Although the NBA and NFL are two different beasts entirely when it comes to parody, way to many unknowns for Vegas to risk big money on opening up lines to early.

I was out of the country most of last preseason, but I definitely would have bet $100 on all 4 NFCS teams to make the playoffs. If I remember correctly, all 4 teams had lower than 4-to-1 odds, so you were guaranteed to make your money back

I plan on splitting with a buddy and putting down 1,000 on Panthers to win SB 8 to 1 and 1,000 on over 10.5 wins. If the Panthers pull it off we get a free trip to Houston. Most likely we break even on the bets. Worst case scenario we lose both and I couldn't care less about 1,000 bucks because the Panthers suck again!

I'll be in Vegas for the Panthers/Broncos game as well.

Or I can put my money down both years and make some good profit.
