So far the early action in the betting pool favors Taiwan’s NTHU, China’s Tsinghua, and, surprisingly, Poland’s University of Warsaw. Other notables include Team Texas at 9 to 1, the German juggernaut FAU/TUC team at 12 to 1, and the University of Illinois at 13 to 1.
There are several teams that haven’t seen any action yet, including last year’s winner USTC, third place 2016 winner Team Peking, and up and comer Nanyang University.
I’m also not seeing any betting love for perennial favorite Team Chowder (Boston).
If you want to find out more about the teams before laying down your (virtual) money, you can see our exhaustive profiles of each team here. That should give you enough info to start laying down some money on the win line.
The betting window will be open until this coming Tuesday, so get in and get paid. Here’s a link to the betting pool.
