Question for NCAA football bettors

I'm in a pool where I win between 250-1000 if FSU wins tonight. Straight up, no point spread. I win 1000 if total points are between 65-71. Like I said worst I can do is 250 if FSU wins. My local guy is giving me 10 points with Auburn. Would you take the 10 points on Auburn just to hedge bc I basically can't lose that way. But having said that I feel like FSU will cover so I kind of feel like I'd be throwing money away. Then there's always the chance it's a close game with FSU winning and then I double dip. I think I just talked myself into betting 110 on AU and the points, but I'll hit submit anyway and hang up and listen.

I'd let it ride. I'm guessing you only put $25-$50 in to start.

How did you get in a pool where you can win 250-1000 if FSU just wins the game? Not flaming or anything, just curious.

I'd take the points. Nothing wrong with attempting a middle.

Theres always a chance auburn could lose by 7 and u win an extra 500 as well

Guy that runs the pool uses his own lines and they're somewhat off from what Vegas thinks. Usually closer than this, but I'll take it. I'm actually getting 1.5 points with FSU in this pool. There are about 130 people in pool and if FSU wins, or loses by 1, then I finish in a 5 way tie for 1st. 1st place is right at 1K, and 5th place is 250 so that's how I am in this position. We had to pick 17 games and I'm 13-3 going into this game.

A little bit.
I see, so its just a pick em and that was the pot. I was thinking more along the lines of a square type game played for the Super Bowl.
