Betting on futures is a lot like investing in the stock market. You need to bet on team's when their public opinion or "stock" is low, and you need to sell teams when their public opinion is high.

Michigan, who started off the season as one of the top favorites to win the National Championship, have got off to a slow start to their season. At just 6-4 through the Wolverines first 10 games, WynnBET has moved their national championship odds all the way to +3000 (bet $100 to profit $3,000). That's a far cry from the +900 (bet $100 to profit $900) odds they had the start of the season.

Why You Should Consider Betting on Michigan Now

Michigan might be 6-4, but don't count out this team just quite yet. Early results in the college basketball season can often be deceiving, as teams are figuring out their schemes, chemistry, and gameplans. Starting your season with an out-of-conference schedule like teams do, can be tough.

Not only are you still trying to figure out how to best succeed with your squad, but you have to face opponents that you don't normally play and who present unique and unfamiliar challenges.

Don't be mistaken, Michigan is still an extremely talented team with players like Hunter Dickinson, Eli Brooks, and DeVante' Jones. Head Coach Juwan Howard will turnt this team around before the season is over.

Michigan's Main Problem: Turnovers

Luckily for Michigan, their biggest issue is quite clear. They need to stop turning the ball over. Michigan coughs the ball up an average of 13.6 times per game which ranks 198th in the country. When you turn the ball over that much, you're going to continuously lose games unless you're near perfect in every other facet.

If the Wolverines can address their turnover issues, they'll go on a roll and be right back in the thick of things.

Every team will go through a slump, Michigan's just happened to occur at the beginning of the year. Buying low on their championship odds at +3000 is a smart idea, because if you wait until they get hot, it'll be too late.
