What a title price is really asking
A top seed has to win six straight games to cut down the nets, against a new opponent each round. A price on the champion is those single-game chances multiplied together, which is why even a dominant No. 1 seed is usually priced as more likely to lose somewhere along the way than to win it all.
Key dates
The 2027 field is revealed on Selection Sunday in mid-March, the opening rounds run that week and the next, and the Final Four and national championship game are played on the first weekend of April. Title futures move most on Selection Sunday, when each team's path is known.
Reading the implied chance
+400 means the market gives a team about a 20% chance; +5000 about 2%. A full title board adds up to far more than 100%, and the excess is margin. Futures bought in November lock in a price before injuries, conference play and the draw, which can work for you or against you.
Pools, brackets and calcuttas
Most March Madness money moves through pools rather than futures. BettorEdge runs real-money bracket pools, and the calcutta value calculator turns title and round-by-round chances into what each team is worth in an auction.
