Legit question Big Sur. Are you or have you considered hedging your bet? For example, you could lay a grand or two on Missouri to win outright. (I know that would be hard to stomach) Then if AU wins, you bet $3-5 thousand on OSU. If Mich. St. wins, you could bet $10,000 or so on FSU in the NC. This way you'd be guaranteed to win money. (I know I haven't included the possibility of Duke winning)
Or do you just let it ride and hope for the best? It seems like a shame not to win SOMETHING from your bet.

I don't want to speak for Sur, but IMO you're devaluing your odds quite a bit by trying to hedge bets.

What do you do under your scenario if you bet 2k against Auburn on Missouri, and they lose. Then you bet 3-5k on OSU, and you lose that. Then you have lost 5-7k to try to protect what, some arbitrary amount from a few hundred dollar bet?

I have done that before by trying to "hedge" bets and it's never worked well for me.
