    Agree.

    This is something of epic proportions.

    You almost want to see him just ride it out since it's only $5. But then again, it's such a massive payout then you have get the most out of it. This is unbelievable

    Good job Stax. If OU holds on, you gotta hedge as much as you can get down. Maybe Vyomguy can help you

    I've never seen such a payout before.

    It's like $17 to win $43K.

    Insane.

    I'm not telling him what to do in the last game, he seems to do just fine on his own.

    That's true. He's gotten this far

    Please God let someone help you get the maximum payout.

    Maybe he'll let it ride??? Ugh, I just don't know.

    I will probably hedge something to gaurentee myself 4 - 5k, and still have a shot at 30kish if Auburn wins. I honestly think AUB/FSU is a 50/50 game

    Might want to think about putting down a thousand or two on Alabama on some live betting, if you can.

    I agree. I just don't see anyone being able to stop Auburn offensively right now, absolutely firing on all cylinders. Gotta hedge some though if Oklahoma holds on.

    Difference between 30k and 38k is negligible, your still going to be stoked about the win.

    Losing 5 bucks or winning 5k... you're much happier with one then the other.

    I don't have nearly enough confidence in Auburn to risk that many thousands on it. If it did, I would have already since the best number is long gone. Auburn, by 2 miracles, is in this game. They should have had two losses going into the Iron Bowl. The finish to the UGA game was crazy enough. The fact they beat Bama on that returned, missed FG is something from a fairy tale.

    There is no such thing as "Team of Destiny" - Florida State is the best team in the country and have proved it all year. They destroyed Clemson and Duke (who everyone thought was a joke until the other night) and this is clearly their title to lose. I think FSU ML is a total lock. The points? That's a different question. So many backdoor possibilities at 8.5 in a game that should probably be over. 15 point game with little time left and next thing you know, TD and heading to onsides kick.

    Better get on the phone first thing in the morning and see if they'll settle. Maybe you can get them to pay you before the game even goes off??

    good thing is the game isn't until Monday

    It's not that bad if he were to hedge at the same book.

    Hedging at another book, and not getting paid out at the first, would be an absolute disaster.

    well he'd have to front the money even if it was the same book....man if they took his money and then didnt pay if the hedge missed and the original bet came in that would be the ultimate slap in the face

    cant really think like that...or do you have to?

    He made it sound like he already had money in there. If he's a successful poker player, he's probably got enough to get down some money on Florida State.

    If he's got 15K, that would guarantee him (assuming it's -300) a nice 5K guarantee, with a chance of 28K.

    Either way, unbelievable parlay. The only thing missing is the paranoids to call it fake.

    HAVE to walk away with something substantial at this point. You can't look back, even if Auburn wins, and have any regrets about taking the cash.

    If you hedge out, you can also play Auburn +8.5 and maybe hit a middle.
