So I have figured out that I win my bracket pool if Florida loses game 1 and Wisconsin wins game 1. Game 2 wouldn't matter as no one in our pool picked UCONN or WISC to win it all.

I know that my value is in possibly the least likely of the 4 scenarios, but what would be the best way to hedge here?

Bet all 3 of the other scenarios as 2 team parlays? something else?

Whats the payout structure for your pool?

Winner take all? How much?

1st place is $450, but because of the points standings now, i can only get 1st place or nothing.

Basically I'm the only player in the pool that had wisconsin in the final 4.

So you win if Wisconsin wins no matter what?

So you should put on the money line for Florida to win?

NVM, I didn't know the match-ups.

That would be a weird hedge I think.

Bet ML against Wisconsin in the FF game. Then if they win again, hedge again?

If Wisconsin wins, can you still be dead in the water in the championship game.
