How would you hedge this??

I want the money but don't need it. I understand the many ways I can hedge this. My question is more pertaining to the Alabama game in itself. Let me clarify. I know pro sports quite well but not so much at the college level. One might be curious then. Why would I add in a college game at all? I was stubborn. I insisted on making it a 6 game teaser and my friend who professes to knowing college ball guaranteed Alabama would cover the -2.5 However, now that it's come down to the Alabama game I'm wondering, should I hedge?

What are the chances Alabama loses? What are the chances Alabama wins by 1 or 2 points if I were to hedge with Ohio State ML? These are some of the questions I'd like to be answered by somebody who knows their college football.

I'd very much be grateful for some different viewpoints and insights from people who know the 2 teams very well.

I'm Hardly a college expert, but since it seems you added the college game as a lark, and you've got this far, it would be horrible to come up empty. If it were me, I'd play Ohio ST +9 for $1,500, shoot for a $6500 profit, settle for $3500, and worst case scenario, still get $500. Good luck whatever you decide.

Thanks. I'll think I'll lurk around this forum and my old stomping grounds and gather more opinions on what the chances are that Alabama gets upset.

Most people seem to think Alabama can't lose. For now I'm leaning towards letting it ride mostly cause I hate letting books off the hook in a sense by hedging.
