If I knew I would be getting 25K for sure if I won, I would do pretty much ANYTHING to put up 12K on a hedge if I knew I was for sure gonna get paid on that too, but there are always things that can happen in the world of gambling unless you're STANDING IN a licensed casino IMO.
If you are someone that is used to putting up 15-25K a game than fuck it... I'm just not.

12K gets you a long 4 days in Vegas for the sweet 16 and elite 8.... 
A free 12K is nothing to sneeze at... especially when you never put up anything. Which is also a reason to go for it. I just would go with the guaranteed cash mostly because I would probably totally freak out if I lost a guaranteed 12K even on a chance for 25K...

to those of you who are bashing the guy for not hedging did you ever realize this kid is a 22 year old student and may not have 12 k to hedge bet or even 2k???

i love the survivor contest but i rarely play it because im busy placing real money bets with that said i have tried and it is very hard you click away on a whim or you study your ass off searching to get hot day after day, actually i start to take survivor serious when my accounts are emptied and im bust its a pipe dream

also on hedging if i made it that far i most likely would not have 12k to hedge and if i did there isnt any info on how long you have to wait for check or how they pay you, so if i were to place 3k bet w/local or borrow money to hedge i would have to tell lender or bookie how long they would have to wait to get paid this is probably part or main reason the kid didnt hedge

as for the pk before hand i had big fsu 1sth bets w/under, with the feeling nd would come back in 2ndh, after i saw smiths play i figured he has a handle on game and w/dogs coming in all day i felt the irish may be in good spot,i knew the intensity of fsu de usually causes teams to start slow, but i really thought nd would come out in 2ndh and win

i agree that whitesmith shoulda stuck to what got him there totals he had very few side plays during streak, i do the same thing  i SUCK at totals but i still bet them

Yes I lost a part of my ass--not all of it. ND giving 4.5 is not worth my entire ass.

I have plenty of my ass left to get it all back --and then some.

Cant be to stupid to hit 24 in a row. You dont know his situation and i dont think its fair to assume he is a retard. When you have a thread wishing you luck on 25 then you can call people retards but for now i think you should shut the fuck up,,but thats just my opinion. If nd would have covered you would be blowing the guy calling him a genious. Thats the way it goes,,he gambled and he lost.Move on to the next time.To be honest i think your a fucking tard with that avator.But you are from florida so i guess you have an excuse to act like a dick.

TAGSROCK.......

If he didn't have 10 k to hedge the bet, then that's even more insentive for him TO hedge the bet1
That's why you and all of your broke friends will always be broke.....FOREVER.  Go Eat your cabbage and fuck off you dumb Irish prick, go chase the pot of gold with all of your buddies.

So you make a lot of sense. "If he didn't have 10 k to hedge the bet, then that's even more insentive for him TO hedge the bet" What kind of moron are you?. If you don't have it THEN you DONT HAVE IT. Go back to the rock you crawled out from Assclown.

$100,000 is a nice amount of money, but it cracks me up how Covers has the pic of the Rolls Royce, Jet, & Yacht with the caption "Live The Dream". Too funny. A pic of a guy making it rain at the Strip Club or a pic of a Range Rover would have been more realistic.

No, that actually DOES make a lot of sense.

A week ago, this because a serious fucking reality for him that he could actually win this thing. He should of made his friends, and family aware of the situation, and sought back-up. So yes, if he could not afford to hedge himself, it was all the more reason to find SOMEWAY to guarantee yourself a profit of more than your actual net worth.

I feel bad for the kid. I was the first one in here asking him "why not hedge?", after his gladiator mentality response, it was obvious he didn't have the money to pony up. A plan should of definitely been put in place to assure a profit before it got to this pick. 

Those of you who are bashing him for the pick, should just fuck off. If your picks are better, why don't you win if it's so easy?

But all in all... I don't care what anyone says. Not hedging, and not FINDING a way to hedge, was stupid. Not our call though. A life experience you'll never forget.

So here's to hoping you didn't need that $12,000 too bad. Great run, and congrats on your success.

Just start with $1.00 keep doubling your winnings  after 15 wins you got 65k after 20 wins it will be  1.4 million if you got a book that will take a 10 cent wager a 20 time rollover would equate to 104k actually I didn't factor in juice but still  what this guy did was very very hard to do so big time props to him

I am from Canada and would just like to know if you Americans don't mind......Could this kid have rolled up to a vegas casino if he did have 12.5k and make the straight wager on Flst? If so then yes that is his problem and he really should have seeked financial help form family or some sort of bank loan even if not in his name but his parents. He would have had a full week to ensure whoever he picked he would have won.

At the same time as stupid as I think that play is in normal common sense this guys nailes off this many picks and there should never be a question of who he picked in the end. That part is hilarious that anyone questions that one. I bet many people would have questioned plenty of games throughout his streak it's just this one is magnified.

Yes, you easily could place a wager for that much. Especially given the circumstances, and magnitude of the game.

This was the most plausible option, as even if he would of lost.. he is rewarded with a $12,000 consolation, and is in VEGAS. If he wins his bet, he STILL wins $12,000 with a shot at $100,000.

To each their own though. Some crazy shit...

well since this thread took off (thank you papashango for spreading the word), i figured i'd put my last thought in on this pick and the whole streak in general.

no i did not hedge the bet at all. there were several reasons behind it, but bottom line is i didn't, i'm not mad that i didn't, if i'm in the same spot again i won't hedge then either, and for those of you that don't like that i couldn't give a shit.

also, for the people that question the pick, i'd make the exact same pick again if the teams played. fsu was a far inferior team that got hot from 3 on the right night and notre dame couldn't make an open shot or layup the whole time. could kinda tell when the 80%+ free throw shooter in hansborough almost airballed his first shot from the line, and i don't think i heard abromaitis' name the entire night while i was actually watching.

i appreciate the support along the way from the people that were behind me the whole way, and sorry for those that tailed on that last pick and lost money.

good luck to all in the future (as long as you're not betting against me)
