Below is a link of Greek and Bodog NCAA championship futures that I made to do some quick side by side comparisons. It is in percentage terms, meaning whatever number is given is how often that team would need to win the championship in order for you to break even. As usual there is a lot of vig built in. The probabilities of winning add up to ~200% on each site.

There might be a little value in Greek-Pittsburgh and Bodog-Georgetown. Maybe a couple others. The strength of the Big East throws some seeding risk in there. Pittsburgh ending up as a two seed in North Carolina's bracket would probably crush its value. But, the Big East winner is also probably a 1 seed who would not have to face North Carolina until the championship game. Georgetown, Pittsburgh and UConn look like the most likely candidates right now. If one of GT/Pitt wins the Big East and the other gets a reasonably high seed, betting both teams now has a good bit of value based on probability matrices from prior tournaments. Unfortunately, the BE is a little crowded. Hopefully North Carolina keeps up mythic status and continues to hover around 40%+, presenting some good value when conference leaders become more clear.
