NCAA Tournament Final Four Betting Updates - 04-04-08
April 4 - Final Four betting has rarely looked trickier than this year's rendition of the NCAA Tournament, as all four number one seeds have reached the semi-final stage.

The odds reflect how little there is to choose between the four teams with both match-ups featuring spreads of three points or less. The first game on Saturday will see UCLA take on Memphis. The oddsmakers initial line for this game was Memphis favored by the most slender of margins, -1 point, but some wiseguy money has shifted the latest spread to -2 points. It should still be a very close game that could go either way.
The total points number opened at 134.5 points, which could be too low in our opinion, and has stayed relatively stable although some online sportsbooks have inched higher to 135 points.
That game tips at 6:05 PM EST and will be followed by another burn-burner at 8:45 PM EST when North Carolina clash with Kansas. The Tar Heels have looked good so far, but face their toughest test by a long way when they get the Jayhawks. Kansas managed to hold off the Cinderella team of the Tourney, Davidson, in the Elite Eight while North Carolina dispatched Louisville and covered the spread easily in the process.
The Final will take place on Monday night, and we'll have a full betting preview available right here on the morning of the big game.
