    What would you do?

    I usually post in the mma forums. I'm seeking some advice here fellas.

    A few weeks ago I put $100 on Villanova on a future to win it all. $100 to win $1,000.
    I also put $50 on Kansas and $50 on Mich State to win it all but I lost those.

    I don't wanna have all my eggs in 1 basket cause I can still walk away a winner if I play my cards right.

    Here are the odds I'm working with to WIN IT ALL:

    NORTH CAROLINA+105, OKLAHOMA+350, VILLANOVA+225, SYRACUSE+1000

    I was gonna throw $100 on Syracuse to hedge & $400 on NC.

    Worst case I win approx. $140 if NC wins it all.
    Win $400 if Nova wins it all
    Win $400 if Syracuse wins it all

    Thoughts???

    Worst case Oklahoma wins it all and you lose $600.

    $700 if you count the Kansas and MSU bets.

    If you really want to hedge, why not just play OU ml next round (ex: OU +120 for $200 - net $40 win). If Nova advances then you can sort out a ml play for the final (or possibly a middle opportunity if Syracuse wins).

    just let it ride... It was only $200... If they beat OU then hedge with a ML bet on whoever theyre playing... Your gonna piss away most of that $1000 by hedging so much if Nova wins it all!!

    Take OK for 100 buy the 1/2 pt to +2.5.......if OK wins u cover ur bet...if nova wins by 1 or 2 u hit the middle....but I would let the original bet ride that is why you bet to begin with......if you're scared to lose 200 maybe u should not of put up the 200 up to begin with.........
