[Yanksrock615]

Won this one last year. Following it up with 1k to win 14k this year.

 

[Sky ball]

Enrolled in draft kings vermont launch promo and put $100 in free bets on UConn +1300

I did also. $250 gets $5,700. Last year I had $100 and won $3,100

 

[WillB4]

Got them in January

 

[WillB4]

In September 2013 put down $100 at 50-1. The boys came through, 5K on the pocket!

 

[auror]

Got +330 for the BE and +2200 for the chip before the season

Yup have both at the same odds. Only $10 to win $230 on the title though. Also took Creighton and Marquette at +2000, which have unfortunately not aged as well.

Houston +400 to win B12 and Alabama +850 to win SEC are looking good.

I also have Creighton and Marquette. +3000 and +3300. Huge Big East homer.

Part 2 because we did this last year. And we all won. Only made us more spoiled and arrogant. Hope you got your bets in early because we might be even money at this point. Let’s see em boys and girls. I know some of you degens have one bigger than this. Doomed. View attachment 96628

Meant to put $200 on the men and $200 on women. Didn’t notice until a few weeks later that i actually put both bets on the men. got in at+1800.

Nothing will top the odds I got last year at +8000 in May before we even had a full roster.

This year I'm in for +2000.

I wish I understood this better. I won 5 bracket pools last year and would have bet had I known. I understand spread and over/under and I’ve bet on football games in the past. If you bet $100 and it’s +2000 what’s that pay?

Any + number is what you win with a $100 bet.

So if it's +2000 and you bet $100 you win $2000 and total payout is $2100.

You might be able to cash out one for a profit if you want to lock in some profit while keeping upside.

 

[Fairfield_1st]

I'm picking my son up at Logan on Saturday night. I'll put in a futures bet then.

Nooooo. Ride it. Cash out is for cowards. Especially with this team. I held on for dear life last year. No Cashout.

Talk about a misclick!! That’s great news actually. Let’s go!!!

Yeah, they usually offer cash outs…but i spent it so long ago and it really wasn’t much money so I’m hanging in there!

Current hedge out is $800 on my +1300

$50 on the each of the long shots and $400 on Purdue. I’m letting it ride, but figured this was a good PSA.

If you got UConn +1300 and now have only 3 bets to make in order to hedge, it is very attractive now considering we're at like -200.

The other way you could do it is take one game at a time.

If you were in for $100 on UConn +1300 (to win $1400), you could put like $100 on Alabama +500 -- if we lose, you win $400; if we win, well, you're still in for $200 to win $1400 and now have the option to hedge Purdue with $500 at +160 or so (locking in a profit of $600-700).

I have 2 outstanding bets: 1 $30 at +2200 for the men winning it all ($690 payout) and $50 on a dual UConn men/women title bet at +11500 ($5.5k payout). If the women win tonight, I'll have to figure out how/if I want to hedge the dual bet. But I'm letting the men bet ride all the way.

 

[auror]

Yup have both at the same odds (+2300). Only $10 to win $230 on the title though. Also took Creighton and Marquette at +2000, which have unfortunately not aged as well.

I added a sprinkle on Purdue a couple weeks back when they were +750 to cover my futures expenditures (also had a sprinkle on Houston). I may add a bit more or a ML bet on Purdue if we play them in title game.

 

[ctbro1999]

Well then.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Well then.

5775 payout with the men around -200 and the women are +800, so your equity is around 7-8%, or around $400. So if you're got to start hedging, it would be around that amount. Fortunately, the women are a very reasonable small underdog against Iowa.

I bet $10 on UConn months ago for a championship and will get $150.

 

[SubbaBub]

Not a degenerate gambler, but why would you be hedging the money line instead of hedging a piece of your potential futurres win on Bama, then the potential Final opponent to cover. At least you have a chance of winning both bets if UConn wins but doesn't cover.

If you paid 100 and are sitting on a potential 1200 winner, it would seem to make sense to hedge on each game to freeroll or guarantee a small profit on each.

So I made that bet more as a homer bet than anything else, and pretty much gave up on it after the womens' injuries and rough start. But now that they're both in the final 4, it's getting real! If I wanted to try and start hedging this bet to cash in at least something (ESPN BET hasn't offered early cashouts on this bet....they suck), how should I approach it?
