Thanks. That also solves the Vandy problem of $0 x 8 still equalling 0.
An interesting game.
Alabama won 11 (?) in-conference games last season, which is not possible this season. Same with Texas A&M at 10. Florida at 8 and Georgia at 7 are also tough picks, not great value. Auburn at 6 means they would have to beat everyone but Alabama and Texas A&M. They get Georgia this year, so that's a a tough pick as well.
For that reason lets go with:
25 of Vandy (the "free picks", if they win even 1 game, that's $25 dollars back)
20 of Arkansas (at $3 dollars that means I've spent $60)
5 of TN (at $3 dollars means I'm paying 15 for TN, for a total of $75)
5 for Miss St (at $3 dollars that means I'm paying 15, for a total of $90)
3 of South Carolina (at $2 dollars thats 6, for a total of $96),
1 of Ole Miss (at 4 dollars thats 4, for a total of $100).
In other words, I think Arkansas takes a step forward, i'm a TN fan who has a little bit of hope, and want to take a flier on the other schools. If we could "short" schools, I would obviously "short" the above list (Alabama, A&M, Florida, Georgia, and Auburn). I might consider shorting South Carolina, and LSU would probably go on that list too.
