re: the BCS championship game, the Super Bowl, etc. -- I'm pretty sure that if you happen to be on the right side tonight, the books aren't going to quadruple your payout. Betting on this game produces the exact same result, win or lose, as some obscure college basketball wager.
Unless you feel like you have an angle one way or another -- which I'd like to hear it if you believe you do -- don't go too large here or get caught up in the moment of having to place a "big" wager on the "big" game. It should just be one bet on your ledger. No "all in" crap, especially on the No. 1 team in the nation who just happens to be a +300 underdog.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.
