How Many Number One Seeds Will Make It To The Final Four?

The question:  How many number one seeds will make it to the Final Four of the 2009 NCAA Tournament?

The oddsmakers at BetUS.com believe that two of the number one seeds will get in.  That's the favorite at near even odds.  One team getting into the Final Four will pay nearly 2/1 odds or $200 for every $100 bet.

"For gamblers it would be great if all four or three of them get in," says Gambling911.com's Don Shapiro.  The payout for three number one seeds getting in would be $300 for every $100 bet.  All four seeds getting in would pay $600 for every $100 bet at BetUS.com.

"That's only happened once that all four number one seeds made it into the Final Four," Shapiro points out.  "But it happened just last year."

Gamblers would also be happy to see none of the number one seeds get in.  The payout would be $485 for every $100 bet.

"This is one year this can actually happen," says Shapiro. 

Approximately $12 billion will be bet on the 2009 NCAA Tournament.
