    help i need advice from the wisest of the wise here

    hi guys....

    got myself in a spot....

    memphis losing straight up caused a series of actions on my part, and the result is:

    i essentially have 80% of my bankroll riding on

    Lville
    UNC

    ML Parlay


    i still have 20% of my bankroll as available balance


    what should i do????

    any way to hedge this in a worth while way?

    or is there some other strong play tonight i can use the 20% on seperate from Lville, Unc... in order to have a small safety net?


    all suggestions welcome, and great thanks in advance

    Pray for the light of day... Why put yourself in this position...hopefully you win... But did you see how close Xavier came to cleaning out several degenerates bankrolls yesterday? It can happen... I have my fingers crossed for you GL... G.

    But personally, if you placed 80% on that you must feel pretty confident. I wouldn't touch it unless you need that money.

    Forget bying points. That rout is madness. You said your bankroll is hurting. Why waste it. Forget the zags. Take other two on M.L. and parlay them. You should be O.K.

    take a deep breath, grab a drink and enjoy the games. I think your ml Parlay is pretty safe, you should probably just let it ride without hedging it, while I think the ACC stinks, UNC isn't going to pull a Duke tonight

    Your probably right. Awfully hard to argue with your logic.

    thanks guys...

    i do think Lville and Unc win straight up here so im probably good, but this late in the tourney you never know....

    Pitino is 8-0 in the sweet sixteen and in the sweet sixteen 1 seeds v. 12 seeds are 15-0 in the history of the tourney, so history is on my side in that one at least

    UNC is by far the cream of the crop in the ACC they can't really be compared with Duke. And Wake Forest was a young team that didn't handle their first trip to the tourney well. If they had another try right now I believe they make it to the Sweet 16 at the very least. ACC is nowhere near Big East but it is still near the top and definately stronger than the West Coast.

    UNC 3-0 against Sweet 16 teams
    Gonzaga 0-3 against Sweet 16 teams

    According to The Greek, the juice on your ML parlay is -204. You bet 80% of your bankroll to earn back less than half your wager. I hope it hits, but the ruin-to-reward ratio seems off. Good luck.

    wrong.... that's why i said essentially


    i didnt play a Lville/Unc ML

    i played several ML parlays with Lville and Unc as the last two legs....

    essentially for what i laid down, i am getting the last two legs of Lville and Unc for about even money

    all the other parts of the 6 parlays already won between weds and thurs nite, i should have been more clear, but for simplicity sake i just boiled it down as what i actually have left at the moment... essentially a ML parlay on Lville/Unc
