How much would you pay?

I am thinking of laying $1000 on the money line for BYU to win. Which I think they will. That way if the Y wins I at least get consoled with some cash. I also would feel great losing the $1000 if Utes win. Either way I come out of winner. $1000 is probably the max I would risk for a WIN!! You??

Emotional hedge. I’ve done that on a number of occasions. $1,000 is about right…

The more you bet the better chance Murphy’s law works out for the Utes to win!

I emotionally hedged $300 on the BYU money line. Shoulda done more like you.

I like how you guys think. Deciding how much a win is worth as opposed to possibly losing both. Taking the money line eliminates the chance of losing both with the spread(smart). I’ve been doing that with BYU all year. (8-0).Bet for them with the spread and if they win you get money if they lose you get satisfaction.

Have a strong moral and ethical objection to ever bet against my team.

Went out to Wendover this morning. Dropped $100 on BYU and $50 on the Texans Sunday night. Utes and Lions are my teams so I guess I win regardless of any outcome.

This is insanity. It makes perfect sense!

[idahoute]

Well the money line (-160) wasn’t great but what the hell. 4 guys $1000/each. $4000 pays $6500

3rd string QB and all the injuries we have. If cougs lose it is an epic choke to their perfect season

The good ole emotional hedge.

Doesn’t work for psychopaths

In that case if Utah is gonna lose; I’d much rather place $1,000 on the over/under for the game. Picking BYU over Utah, even though I know BYU will probably win, just makes me sick to my stomach. Literally feel like I want to puke.
