    Hedge for a small amount on each side to guarantee small profit if you miss.

    Maybe like 200 on each other side so ull get a small profit

            IF you wanna guarantee winning a few bucks

            play $500 on the first game

            if your parlay is still alive after the first game then play $1000 on the second game

            no need to make two bets if you don't have to

            if i were you i'd let the first game ride and hedge on the second game only

              Wait till after the Butler game, then hedge it if your still alive.

                    Always take the hedge if you have a chance, take the money in my opinion and promise that you walk away with something.

                      I'm in quite a pickle too...Put money on UConn to win it all while in Vegas, to pay out $250. If Kentucky beats UConn, I take 3rd in my bracket. I'm thinking to take Kentucky +145 to win the tourney, and then if they make it to the finals, I will put some money on the underdog...what a hedge of a hedge.
