April 1, 2015, London, UK (Press Release) – US college basketball betting peaks at Intertops Sportsbook this weekend during the Final Four showdown in Indianapolis. The field has been narrowed to The Kentucky Wildcats, Wisconsin Badgers, Michigan State Spartans and Duke Blue Devils, but no team is a shoo-in.
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. The Badgers have looked good in the tourney so far and there is no reason why they shouldn’t run the unbeaten favorites real close.
The second semi-final sees Michigan State face Duke in a battle between two of the highest-profile coaches in the game. Tom Izzo guided number 7 seed Michigan State to the title in the South Regional and believes his Spartans will have the battling qualities to upset Mike Krzyzewski’s Duke in their Saturday showdown in Indianapolis.
“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.”
Intertops gives the Final Four some extra spice by offering another $100 Free Bet competition. Players who correctly predict the new college hoops champion on the Intertops Facebook page are in the draw for a $100 free bet on Tuesday (Wager required; details on Facebook page.)
