Circa Million Week 2 odds
The fifth-annual Circa Million is off and running, as the prize pool features $6 million and the field features 5,274 entries, so there is an overlay of $726,000. That means each entry is “worth” about $1,138, so there is a little bit of “free money” in the prize pool. Of course, that also means running good enough to catch a piece of it.
Anyway, the function of this weekly article is to showcase where lines sit in the betting markets at the time the Circa Million odds are released and where the contest numbers are. That can serve as an indicator of where a line could potentially move, given that the contest odds are “static” and do not move with the market. What gets announced on Thursday is what contestants will pick from, even if a major injury or something else necessitating a line move occurs.
The “stale” lines are up for roughly 52 hours before the Saturday 4 p.m. PT deadline for picks and a lot of news can happen in that span, so it can be a fun exercise to see what the crew at Circa is thinking.
