4️⃣ Final Four bets 4️⃣

We’re down to just four teams!

• No. 3 LSU is favored (-1.5) to beat No. 1 Virginia Tech. If you believe in the top-seeded Hokies to win, there’s value in betting their moneyline +110 (bet $10 to win $11).

• No. 1 South Carolina is favored (-11.5) to beat No. 2 Iowa. That means there’s huge upside in betting the Hawkeyes’ moneyline +540 (bet $10 to win $54) if you believe they can pull off the upset.

You can sign up to place your first bet with BetMGM. If your bet doesn’t win, you’ll get it back in bonus bets up to $1,000.
