    HALP?? (Hedging)

    Looking for some advice...
    I put $200 on Duke to win it all a couple weeks ago at +900.

    Do i hedge?
    When do I hedge?
    How do I hedge?

    I think Duke can take care of MSU in my honest opinion but you never know..Also the more i think about it the champ will probably come out of the WIS/KENT game. Would it even be worth hedging assuming they get through MSU considering the fact they will be dogs against either WIS/KENT...Thoughts?

    You don't need halp, you need a miracle, big miracle.

    If you are getting cold feet but aren't afraid of MSU just wait for the Championship game.

    I'm in the same situation, but I'm riding it out. If anything I'm doubling down, Duke looks like the best team left.

    I'm shocked at the replies...



    You risked 200 to win 1800


    A straight Hedge is what you wanna do. That requires taking Michigan Straight Up at +200.

    Bet 400 to win 800 on MSU. If you lose you'll stand to profit 1400 before Championship. If you win you profit 600.


    Vs. Wiscy or UK it will be different.


    It's then +700.


    UK 4.5 Favorite over Duke -200 . Wisconsin 2.5pt Underdog ML +125

    vs. UK bet UK 1100 to win 550 vs. Wisconsin bet Wisconsin 700 to win 875

    If UK Wins you profit 350 If Duke Wins You profit 300. If Wisconsin Wins you profit 675 If Duke Wins you profit 700




    Good Luck

    You people putting money on MSU are nuts. Even the OP said he isn't worried about that game.

    If OP truly wants to Hedge he must wager on MSU Moneyline.. Otherwise he doesn't want to hedge.

    He wants to hedge against WI/KY, that's his worry. Go back and read the first post.

    thanks for the replys...

    Although i truly believe Duke wins saturday cant be too sure i mean they are 5 point favs and not something like 10 or higher..So i'll probably put $100 on MSU ML @ +210 that way the worse that can happen is i get my original $200 back. And if Duke wins guess i'll have some thinking to do on Sunday.
