How to hedge?

[Pete Rose]

10$ pool entry.

Ohio St over Lou wins me 3,000
Lou over Ohio St wins me 200

Should I bet Kentucky ML on Sat? or just wait to bet Kansas should Lou win...

The UK ML is so high....:shrug:

I think you are out of luck since Louisville game is first. :shrug: ML is two damn high

There are 4 possible final game matchups.

Louisville/OSU
Louisville/Kansas
Kentucky/OSU
Kentucky/Kansas

If we take the human element out of it, you have a 1 in 4 chance of being in the money.

Assuming the "favorite" of these to come out is KU/OSU, you could play a ML parlay, but then you'd only be down to a 50/50 shot. Also, you'd be laying a hefty price on that ML to make back quite a bit. The issue is throwing that Kentucky ML into the mix to "hedge" is far too pricey, especially considering the overall 1 in 8 shot of any given team over any given team.

So, I'd have to say let it ride...and as BW said, the Kentucky game first isn't helping the situation either....you'd be laying far too much...

in this case.....then.. I will consider 3 teams ............8pts..Teasers

is it better chance?????? :shrug:

you're trying to hedge a $10 pool entry??? waste of time from my perspective

if you must.....

sit back watch game one.....if lou loses you're out...if they win, you've got a chance but only if osu wins.....so if you must hedge, take ku + points for 100 and hope osu wins by 1 or 2 (maybe win both ways).

Wildcat has the best idea
