A clear difference in game quality will be seen Tuesday Night when Duke faces Illinois. These are two top preseason favorites with the college basketball odds. So far both teams are off to winning starts. But neither is showing a profit on the board. Illinois and Duke are two name-brand programs. With that comes increased prices based on public demand. Another brand that will factor in is Cameron Indoor Stadium. Duke’s home of the “Cameron Crazies” will add to their cost. Casual fans flock to bet Duke home games.
