    What would a UK/Duke & UK/Nova title game be?

    What if you took Duke, Nova, Gonzaga, or Virginia, tried to win that side of the bracket & hedged the title game? Would work the best in a big pool and the line couldn't be too big

    edit title: Meant to say "what would the line of a"...

    Virginia is too flawed they have no shot at the final 4.


    what u mean by tried to win that side of the bracket?

    you talking about about parlaying all 4 to reach the final 4 under 5Dimes props?

    I think the line would be around -200 for Duke/virginia/Zaga, -400 vs Nova.

    Everyone is going to have Kentucky. For good reason. It will be difficult to win a big pool taking Kentucky unless you pick the right upsets.

    If the majority of the teams ahead of you have Kentucky as the winner, and your team makes the title game, then you could hedge the title game (or let it ride). You can afford having more teams ahead of you at that point than if you took Kentucky to win.

    If the title game is Duke v UK, being in 20th place at that time w/ UK is worse than being in 20th place w/ Duke as the winner.

    If you want to hedge by not having Kentucky win, I'd be more inclined to have them losing to Zona or Wiscy than losing to one of the teams on the other side of the bracket
