Huge Illinois fan today (yuck).

I have them at +320 to win the conference tournament and then took them -3 1H and -6 for the game.

Should hedge your bet and taken OSU and the points. Assumed you bet 1u on illinois you bet 1.5 or 2 units on OSU.

Not mine but hedging is for gardeners.

This had to a future wager during the season. Oregon State was 28:1 for the Tournament. 1,000 : 1 is simply unheard. Hell Iowa State wasn’t even that high.

Just saw it was made on 01/20/21 but what book is laying 1,000:1 odds a day after Oregon State beat USC at home and was 3-3 in conference

I get it. Betting is for fun but winning money is fun. You bet futures to leverage your position. I have a .5u ticket for Alabama to win at 465. I'm betting 1.5u on LSU +6. If Alabama wins I net 1u. If LSU wins I net 1 unit. If Alabama wins by less than 6 I net 2.5u. regardless the outcome I profit with a decent chance netting 2.25 times my investment.

Illini were cruising 10 minutes in and OSU almost got it to a push at the last second of the half.

Up quite a bit over the last 4 days playing unders. All about ROI. Losing days happen, consecutive losing days happen. 29-14-1 betting unders for the conference tourney, sucks to end on a 0-5 run but it is what it is.
