Would you hedge?

[celtics72]

As of now, I am locked in to winning at least $550 in pools/brackets tonight if Duke loses, and $650 if they win. Should I just let this ride as a free $100 Duke ML bet, or put $50 on Butler (I figure my local will be at 8 by tipoff) guarantee at least $610 either way and try to middle it for for $710?

I am leaning Duke, but 8 is a lot f points--any suggestions?

It depends on what $100 means to your bankroll, and how confident you are in Duke.But objectively, you have $100 straight bet on Duke ML, which in reality is (-300) or more, so hedging would only lose your value. Personally I leave it.

Good Luck.

I'm thinking that I may take Duke minus for 100, thus making it 2 separate bets, Duke _ pts and Duke ML So my winnings in pools would either be 460/560 OR 760, depending on how it turns out. As for my bankroll, I don't bet bases so I'm done and Im using the pool money to pay my golf membership lol
