    Thinking of hedging...all advice appreciated
    Alright fellas, I've got a future on WVU at +2000 to win it all that I placed in November. I let it ride last weekend and came out on top. I don't know why, but I'm much more concerned about this Duke game than I was about Kentucky. Probably because of the youth of Kentucky vs. the experience of Duke, and coach K vs. that crook in Lexington. It's a small wager (only $50) but I am relitavely new to sports wagering and am curious to what some of the more experienced cappers think I should do. 2dabank brought this up last weekend but I decided to let it ride, now I'm as confident. I feel strongly that if WVU gets past Duke that they will win the championship. All opinions welcome. Thanks in advance.

    for 50 bucks Id let it ride. I think that Kentucky game would have made me the most nervous. But since u got past that and its only 50 bucks Id try and get paid. You got a reallly good shot at it.

      agree. there's no value in Duke ML in the first game. you could definitely make a good argument for taking the dog (Izzo/Butler) ML in the title game, maybe such that you'd know you'd win 100+ in a title game upset. then again, now that i look at it typed out, probably best to let it ride. if you can win a g with WVU ML for only 50, there's some value, but not a lot, in hedging. root like hell against Duke and Coach Rat, i say.

        kinda agree with fuk head on this 1, you've made it this far unless you really like duke i say let it ride....or seeing how this is more than likely the championship game put a chunk of it on duke really just depends on whether you wanna gamble or get some guaranteed cash

                                You really arent good at this, dont mess with the big boys. I know a few people here who are from chicago who can vouch for how much I bet.....and are you really calling someone out for not betting money when u beg for points?

                                again, you suck at this. Did you just drop a mom joke? How old are you?

                                                  I must have remembered wrong, someone else took action on the SB....I honestly thought I had free points coming to me, obviously I got burned....you will get paid and then some. You can be back in my gang if you want.

                                                          no problem, and it's not that i don't want them. more thinking about a free play, but CBB is ending so may just keep accruing til fall and CFB.

                                                              If you can find Duke at -2 and you have the money I would put a few bucks on duke and try to hit a parlay for half of duke straight. for instance duke-2 for 100 duke ml for 300 and duke-2 to under for a buck. If duke ends up winning by 1 your out the original 50 on wva cuz your ml bet will cov the straight and parlay.if duke wins by more than two and it stays under you pick up almost 6 bills minus the 50 on wva. if wva wins outright you still can win 1500 and no matter who wins in the butler- mich state i can assure you if wva wins the final game will be a pick or minus one on whoever wins bigger in the semis so you will have some value in another hedge bet in final. Duke has too much size i think and has better shooters. i wish u well but hedge away. hope this helps

                                                                hedge. if you bet $50 then you are going to bring home $1000 if they win it all. so you could crunch it a little and find a way to guarantee your self about $350...........its all about how much you need the money. If you dont hedge then you are basically betting $350 to win $650 that WV goes 2-0 against a pair of top 10 teams, i find that very risky. its basically a 2-team parlay that pays less than a typical 2-teamer..................hedge it
