Can this be hedged properly with say a $200 wager. sounds doable if they make it to sweet 16. If they can hold on and be a 2 or 3 seed this is tempting.
I see Couple sites they are 20-1 or so, but I can get these odds right now.
Thoughts??

I agree Money. This team can make a run if Kelly and Samuels keep getting better and the freshman are looking better every week. It will free up Pullen and Clemente for some open looks.
I didn't say they could win it all, but $ can be made off this I think.
F it, I'm putting $100 on them

you might be able to hedge in the Final 8. And get some decent odds, because if they make it that far as a 2 or 3 seed, they wil still be like +200 to win against a team like Michigan State or Duke. I doubt u can hedge in the sweet 16 and make it work. Thats 4 more games they would still have to win, 100-1 might do it, but it would probably be better till the final 8 when they start to be dogs.
As a two seed, which they should get, how many two seeds will have beaten a number 1 team? They will be favoured till the final 8 most likely.

Kansas State has a couple of pretty good (if streaky) shooters in Clemente and Pullen. They rebound well and play pretty good defense.
Personally, I don't think they'll win it all, but their bracket sets up very well for them to reach the regional final and if there are couple of upsets around, they have a shot.

I see a problem with this bet. I broke it down in an example
For example, $50 at 100 to 1 yields $5000
Hedge rules
1. If Kansas St is favored play the other team against the spread
2. If Kansas St is a dog play the other team's money line
Kansas St will likely be favored in the sweet 16 matchup, assuming they get there. If you took the other side ats for say, $165, you will guarantee yourself $100 profit, or the prop bet will stay alive for another round and you can continue to hedge. If Kansas St makes it to the elite 8, you have to wager enough to cover the $165, the original $50, and however much you feel comfortable betting to make a profit. The problem I see with this bet is if Kansas and K St meet in the final 4. If this occurs, in our example we will likely be in for somewhere between $500 and $1000 on your hedges. In order to make this work we would have to play the Kansas money line, which is going to be a big bet. If Kansas is -400, it will cost too much to continue hedging. Think about it, and if you have any questions on my reasoning, let me know. Just trying to be helpful.

I would do that. If you try to hedge for a profit, it will get expensive if they keep winning & covering. Also, at +5, you have a great chance that KSU wins but doesn't covers, which is the best case scenario for you. Good Luck...

Don't understand--Everybody beat TEXAS!!!! K-State good enough to bet SU vs their next opponent!
