Anyone with a Louisville future going to try to middle the title game?
Any idea what the line between L'ville would be vs. Syracuse of Michigan?
If it's 6 points or more I'm thinking about it...

If you have a Louisville future you will have a nice hedge opportunity in the championship game, they will be at least 4 point favs against either cuse or mich and probably slightly higher. You should get at least +200 on the ml hedging which will be good enough to hedge. I wouldn't look past Witchita State, I think Louisville wins and probably wins by at least 8, but at Louisville +10.5 you might want to throw a little on the Witchita ML just incase a major upset happens. I still like Louisville Cuse for the championship game.

Don't you have to hedge the Wichita St game first before you middle the title game?

Its called hedging.. How do you "middle" a future bet with the the title game when you are in the semis?

I'm thinking ahead. If Wichita wins you obviously can't...but if you wanted to hedge the semis you could put a little on the Wichita ML.

I would say best way to hedge the final if Louisville makes it there is to hedge on live betting. Like wait until Louisville goes up by 8-10 points and place a small bet on the ML of Syracuse for example.

No, because there's no guarantee that will ever happen.

Looking for some advice - I have a $100 play on Michigan to win the tourney at 18:1. I was thinking about trying to hedge and guarantee myself winning a solid amount (between 800 and 1000). Anybody have any ideas?
Going of odds I see, Syracuse is +125 vs Michigan and Louisville is -160 to win it all, Wichita 10:1 to win it all. Looking for some sort of smart gambling math in order to come out with some good winnings. Basically I see Michigan/Syracuse as 50:50 and Louisville would be -175 vs Michigan if that happened so...
Thanks anyone with ideas for me...

All the good teams already lost, what's the point of middling here? Just collect the money and move on.
It's not like the spread comes into play that often anyway.

Bet Syracuse +120 to beat Michigan. I'd risk like 300.
If Michigan wins, hope the Shockers win because Wichita State would be about +200.
If it's Louisville/Michigan, Louisville would be around -215

You love that Florida team don't you. An overrated bunch imo. Louisville best team in the country. But they may go down, who knows.

Yeah I got 8/1 to win back in early March of course my other 4 FLA, IND,KST,GTOWN went down. But I might put a hedge not only for this but for a few Brackets that I could possibly cash in the top 3-5 for over a dime. Of course if Fla. could of pulled through to the final. would have been better scenario.
Think LVILLE takes it easily from here on out.But yeah I will hedge as I like a guranteed profit at the end of the tourney.

I made 3 future bets Louisville at 4.5 then again at 2.75
I had Miami at 12-1
So to hedge here wouldnt really be worth it plus if you have Louisville you have the best team left
I felt that way when it started

I've got $500 on Louisville +650. Planning on riding out the Wichita St game and will probably hedge the Championship game...

Not a bad idea. I wish there was a way to bet Michigan vs. "The Field" and I could just take the field and hedge that way. Does anyone know if there is a bet out there like that?

I've got 15-1 from around Christmas. I will NOT be hedging more than likely. I may try to cover what I risked+1 unit but doubtful

You shouldn't be placing futures bets if you're going to hedge.
Take the guy with Mich @ 18:1. the ml for the game is around +200. If someone offered you 18:1 odds, wouldn't you put as much as you could on that bet?
You essentially want to do the exact opposite and reduce your bet

no way is this line going up to 5.5 or 6
4 is too high, not sure i would middle that when you can just find +165 and guarantee $$

I agree with this...hedging is a form of loss aversion that makes your odds worse. Thus the reason I thought about going for a "middle". I understand that's a bit of a hedge, but if the line was large enough there was a chance to win both bets. There's times to hedge, maybe if you took Michigan with huge odds and it's a lot of money. With Lousville, this isn't going to be one of those times.

From where I stand I can guarantee about $1800 profit betting Mich ML against my future bet of Louisville +650 or I can bet Michigan +4 and guarantee approx 1300 profit with the possibility of Louisville winning but not covering and I would win almost $5K.....worth hedging on Michigan +4 in my opinion...I just wish the line would move to +5
