Kentucky Wildcats Creating Betting Frenzy at Top Sportsbooks

The Kentucky Wildcats have ignited a betting frenzy at two of America’s largest sportsbooks, leading in ticket percentage and handle percentage at BetMGM and DraftKings. Their dominance in the betting world has made them the biggest liability for the sportsbooks, with Kentucky fans fervently backing their team to win the 2024 NCAA March Madness title.

Currently, the Wildcats are the top national contender at DraftKings, accounting for a significant percentage of bets and money wagered. With over 70% of Kentucky bets at BetMGM and DraftKings placed on Kentucky, the Bluegrass State is fully invested in coach John Calipari‘s team.

Despite the overwhelming support for Kentucky, analysts like Steve Bittenbender believe there is still value in placing future bets on the Wildcats to win it all. The odds for Kentucky winning the national championship vary across sportsbooks but remain attractive to bettors looking to capitalize on a potentially lucrative outcome.

Bittenbender emphasizes Kentucky’s consistent recruitment of elite talent, which bolsters their chances as perennial contenders. While their odds may be slightly influenced by fan support, the Wildcats’ strong performances on the court justify their status as a top pick for bettors.

When it comes to individual game betting, Bittenbender suggests that Kentucky’s high-scoring offense makes the ‘over’ a favorable option for bettors. With an average of nearly 90 points per game, the Wildcats’ potent offense keeps them in contention in every matchup.

However, Bittenbender cautions passionate fans against making impulsive bets based on emotional reactions to losses. He advises taking a rational approach to betting on Kentucky games, urging fans to maintain composure and perspective throughout the season.
