    Haven't done anything yet, most likely will just put down $3K or roughly 0.43 BTC on Villanova ML and hope it loses.

    Seems like such a waste, but whatever.

    Are you betting with Bitcoins? Because if so, your bet has lost 30% of it's value.

    BitCoin on Feb 20th closed around $11,404. So .01 Bitcoin (which appears to be what you bet) equaled $114.
    Bitcoin is currently $6,931. So if you win, and end up with 0.85 BitCoins, you'll have $5,891. Certainly a smaller amount than the 8,500 you were trying to win by betting the +8500 odds.
    You're risking alot by betting with a fluctuating currency on a futures bet like this was. Given the decline in BTCs, I probably wouldn't hedge and let it ride.

    In hindsight sure. If anyone was that sure it would've dipped 5k there was a ton of opp to short. Nobody knows. It could've went up to 14k and he would've had a score.

    But you don't need to tie it into gambling on sports though. Betting on the value of Bitcoins, should be a separate bet to itself. I just don't understand using a fluctuating currency, to bet on sports futures. It's really like making 2 bets in one. You're betting the game itself, and also on how much the currency will be worth by the time the bet pays out (which in this case was 1.5 months). Seems unnecessary to me.

    Sure, it could have went the other way, if BitCoin had increased in value. But again, if you want to bet on BitCoins increasing their value, then just buy bitcoins and hold them. Tying them into another bet (like sports) seems unnecessarily risky. You're already getting 8500 plus odds.

    Nice Plaza. An actual well informed and logical post.
    Bitcoin is a ridiculous gamble at this point. Hit 18,000 early 2018, today under 7K, tomorrow anyone betting a rise and not a short
    will be on a soup line.
    From what I understand, 98-99% of BTC value is in the hands of a couple thousand people. So my ? to anyone buying in now is:
    "Do you trust these people to look after the entire system, or look after their own best interests??"

    It's a free bet on Nitrogen so whether BTC has lost value or not doesn't really matter unless he decides to hedge on a fiat book.

    Honestly... I feel like Nova will win by 1-3 points.

    But I definitely want Michigan ML to win.

    Remember Ku was a very bad defensive team that relied on thier 3 point shooting with 3 guard line up...Michigan is a excellent defensive team that will make adjustments but they will not run them off the 3 point line leaving them with easy dunks.. bookmakers are just laying big trap here at 7 ...

    I'd say if Nova is hitting their 3's early on live bet em before the game gets out of hand.. If they are missing and get down early live bet Mich..

    My two and half cents for what ever it's worth... ... I got futures pending but I will live bet this biiitch up if I see an angle early on..

    Guys, I don't know what you're see'in here. Loyola was up 7 on Mich at the half, before they finally got it together. Had Loyola gotten a couple of runs together in the 2nd half, Mich wouldn't even be here. Nova put up 47 and 48 on Kansas, too many weapons, Nova covers here. Best of luck.

    Only defense that had a shot against Nova was Virg Cavaliers, & those dudes couldn't even make it past the 1st round. Tough loss for what was an unreal 25k to win 1mil bet; should've hedged 100k. Stingy sob
