Biggest Hedge is wagering history?

[tomorrow's news]

Auburn's Gene Chizik gets appx a $625,000 bonus if his team wins the national championship. You think he might call his local book and tell him, "give me Oregon ML for $200k. Would be a pretty sweet hedge

[MendozaLine]

If he's smart he will. Oregon is gonna fuk up Auburn

[stealthyburrito]

lets hope he is that corrupt of a motherfukker

[Ace_of_Spades]

Like any bookmaker would be that stupid taking money from a coach. Knowing they could fix the match.

[Monte]

he could use matchbook, no questions asked =p

Like any bookmaker would be that stupid taking money from a coach. Knowing they could fix the match.

remember, if he wagers $200k he would still want to win the game since he would get the $625k and owe $200k netting $425k. If Oregon won he wouldnt get the bonus but would win the $200k with the book.

Some of you guys should really think before typing.

Unreal

[SportsMushroom]

im sure he gets a shitload of money anyway

guy must be a millionare, he'll use the bonus to light his cuban cigar up

[Mac4Lyfe]

Why not take $200K and lay it on his own team?? I think it's easier to beat Oregon and their God awful defense than try and scheme against your own players. I sure as hell wouldn't bet against Cam.

[BernardMadoff]

Doesnt matter anyway, whatever happens they will redo his contract and he'll get more money.

[ronjon619]

AUB vs ORE the O/U might be 80.

[MartinBlank]

That's kind of funny. Chizik hedging against his own team.

[EmpireMaker]

I don't think there is any chance he would consider doing that !!!

[treece]

not worth the risk of getting caught.

Oregon money line is only going to be +100?

[SportsMushroom]

why cant he win both, make sure his team wins but doesnt cover the spread

[cant call it]

moneyline bet

This is what would make this a bad play long term!!!

[M.W.]

Exactly.

[KKoz9]

I hope Scam Newton get suspended before the bowl

[nli07]

You know whats funny, without Cam Newton, Auburn would be at best +3 vs Oregon, more likely +5 to +6.

One player has never been more important.

Line for Oregon is +135 there, bro. That's $270,000 if he lost. Not a bad hedge.

He wouldn't be betting against his team, necessarily, just covering his pocketbook in case he lost. Obviously this is all hypothetical and he would never do it, but in this hypothetical situation, it wouldn't be a bad bet.

[urge2kill]

If he got caught betting against his team he'd lose a whole lot more than the $270k he'd win betting on Oregon.

[Rio DiNero]

The old ball coach also gets a huge bonus if he wins the game. I believe it is larger than Chizik's also.
