The tiny Jesuit school out of New Jersey, Saint Peter's, continues to shock the world.  They become the first 15-seed to advance to the Elite Eight.

Saint Peter's we know has the potential to pay at least one gambler $800,000 on a $4000 bet.  The Peacocks opened at 200-1 odds to win the NCAA Men's Tournament Championship and they are just three games away from doing just that.

The Peacoks 67-64 win against Purdue game on National Peacock Day.  Who knew? 

They will face the winner of the UNC-UCLA game being played Friday night.

Ironically, none of the New Jersey sportsbook apps allow betting on Saint Peter's (or any other in-state schools for that matter).  Gamblers will be reliant on the few offshore books and local bookies.
