Trey Burke Favorite to Win 2014 NBA Rookie of the Year

Submitted by Marley Nowell on
The sports betting service Bovada puts Utah’s Trey Burke as the preseason leader (4/1) for the race, which makes sense given the voters’ preference for players who put up big scoring numbers immediately and the consistent opportunity Burke is likely to get with the Jazz.

If I calculated correctly, then the top five (with implied probability and US odds) at least would then be:

Trey Burke 4/1 (implied probability is 20%, +400)

Victor Oladipo 11/2 (implied probability is 15.38%, +550)

C.J. McCollum 15/2 (implied probability is 11.76%, +750)

Otto Porter 15/2 (implied probability is 11.76%, +750)

Michael Carter-Williams 9/1 (implied probability is 10%, +900)

...but in this case, there's money involved, so I trust that people are taking it seriously.  However, regardless of that, they are saying there is a 20% probability of it happening, which means they are also saying there is an 80% probability of it not happening.  

In other words, I'm not sure what your point is.
