No......you basically got Ohio st. +150 for tonight, they win you win. If it was for more money maybe.

agree ride that out then go to the bar

Tenn money line is +180 - Personally, I would throw 75 bucks on the Vols just to guarantee myself some cash. Guess it depends on how confident you are.

Thanks for the help, if oh st takes a dump first half (not that i think they will) would you try a 2nd half bet?

Why would you make this bet if you wanted to hedge?

Don't think it has that much to do with confidence level here rather than it has more to do with how much you normally bet. If you are a normally a $5 to $10 bettor per play and you can guarantee yourself $80 with a Tenn win and $50 with an Ohio State win then maybe hedge. However if you are normally a $25 and up bettor per play it makes no since to hedge IMO because basically you are getting a (-210) favorite at the price of +150. I honestly think this game could go either way, and if I had a 1k invested on that same Ohio State future as you, I would indeed hedge to guarantee myself at least a $500 profit and possibly an $800 profit with a Tenn win. However if its a smaller play to you or even just a normal play in terms of your average bet, I would not hedge because like I said you are getting over a 2 to 1 favorite at +150. Good luck in whatever you decide.
