    You could have hedged at HT with TCU ML very cheaply. Lesson learned.

    These guys are right. This was an easy hedge. Like 85% of the gamblers in here, you fell to greed.

    I felt good about it. I didn't think it was greed. When I made the bet early in December after the lines came out I didn't feel as good about it, only after Boykin was suspended did I feel really good about it. I learned a valuable lesson that night that I will remember in the future, no win is a sure win no matter what happens leading up to the game.

    You guys saying hedge are just ______ and if you're hedging every chance you get instead of maximizing your profit then you're most definitely the long term loser. It took a perfect storm combined with the center getting hurt and replaced by a center who didn't know how to snap a ball.


    BTW
    Since Texas Tech's 31-point comeback in the 2006 Insight Bowl, teams are 0-1,463 when trailing by 31 points at any point in the game.Now 1-1,464
