Kentucky has +800 chances of winning everything, so the bet will win $ 800,000 if John Calipari and the Wildcats cut the nets in New Orleans in a few weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Kentucky is the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Region, a region that also has Baylor, Purdue and UCLA.  Despite not being on the No. 1 seed line, Kentucky has the third-best national championship chance at BetMGM.  Only Gonzaga (+300) and Arizona (+600) have better chances than Kentucky.<\/p>\n<p>Kentucky opens tournament against Saint Peter&#8217;s on Thursday night in Indianapolis.  Kentucky is favored by 18.5 points and the total is listed at 131.5.<\/p>\n<p>According to BetMGM, 63% of the bets and 65% of the money are in Kentucky to cover this spread.  In addition, 62% of the bets and 73% of the money on the over.<\/p>\n<p>The Wildcats are led by All-American Big Man Oscar Tshiebwe, who averages 17.0 points and 15.1 rebounds per game.  UK also has a standout freshman guard at TyTy Washington and a collection of veteran transfers &#8211; Kellan Grady (Davidson), Sahvir Wheeler (Georgia) and Davion Mintz (Creighton).  Tshiebwe is also a transfer.  He began his career in West Virginia.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a different group than the teams that brought Calipari to the tournament in recent years.
