    Easy.

    Just do some math and add your expected win ÷ for this game.

    May not always be profitable but you won't lose much either.

    Could bet florida +110 to win all then re evaluate ...

    He has a $20 future on 80 to 1. He is going to need a lot of cash to hedge with the +110
    Florida future. And then more cash to hedge the final game regardless of who wins tonight.

    I cant decide if I should hedge the $1600 or risk it. If anyone has any bright ideas please let me know what you would do.

    Five down one to go

    Guard play.

    Wilbekin has been the bread and butter for that Florida team. How do you think that is gonna pan out when he has to chase Shabazz Napier all across the floor??

    Well, I guess you could switch him and make him check Boatwright. Who is also a helluva good scorer.

    What do you do when your point guard is too tired trying to play defense to run the offense?
    This.

    I am going to. UK couldnt really handle florida and Uconn did with relative ease. The only question is the height of the UK guards. That may be trouble but it can also work in reverse because nobody seems to be able to handle Shabazz and boatright. I won't be playing it for anything big. I learned my lesson taking michigan last year (which wasnt necessarily the wrong play). You dont want to bet these games too seriously though. probably a 2.5 unit play for me and i should probably up my unit size now to make that more like 1.25-1.5 units
