You should have bought 2 tickets for the natty. Gonna have to give uncle Sam his cut on that 10g due to reporting laws.

Wait til the playoffs, see the 1st matchup, then decide from there. Though I'd likely hedge a little no matter what once it got to the title game, like $1-2k or so.

This.

Burrow is a lock. Congrats to OP on the money.

If we make the final just bet our opponent with the points since we will likely be favored. There’s a chance LSU wins the title and the other team covers so you can cash twice

Honestly, I would have driven you to the hospital. You deserve the $$. Actually, you deserve 5x this much. Well done.

If LSU makes it to the championship hedge your bet. You can make 4-5 grand depending on who they play against.

Just found this on twitter. It might give you some ideas as to what you can do:

My little cousin introduced me to Bovado, last year, and I have very little experience on making bets, so I don’t even understand the lingo of letting it ride.

But I feel like we are a lock to win all of those bets.

I normally place 1 and 2 dollar bets on multiple NFL pick parlays and have done pretty awesome.

I was so confident after going to the opener and seeing the offense with my own eyes,
I bet 30 on Joe to win the Heisman. That gave a return of 600.

No way on earth I would change those bets with the money you put up.
No matter what, you should cash in.

I can only say I wish I would have bet more.
But realistically, my 30 dollar bet, was about 15x more than I normally would bet on anything.

I’m psyched about a 600 dollar return.
I would be moonwalking with the return you’re about to see.

Fair points. I wouldn't sell any of them, but I would certainly hedge them to make sure you walk away with at least your initial investment. On the NC game you only need to make a few low level bets on Clemson and Ohio State (and then whoever the 4th team is.....or is projected to be).

On the Heisman you could do the same thing with Justin Fields and the kid from Oregon (and maybe the Chase kid from Ohio State). I would only be enough on each bet so that my winnings would cover my total investment.

I think you are on the right side of these bets, but a few extra dollars will guarantee you're a winner.

Or wait and see if LSU gets in, then bet 5K on whoever is playing LSU in the Natty, depending on the favorites, if LSU is favorite you can take the points and possibly win both bets.
So, hypothetical here: LSU is a 3 point favorite over Ohio State. He bets $5k on Ohio State +3.

LSU wins by 1 point, he wins $15k.
LSU wins by 4 or more, he wins $10k - $5k = $5k
OSU wins, he wins $5k - $333 = $4,667

Is this correct?

I have 3 bets. Burrow for Heisman right before season 25 to win 1000. LSU 50 to win 3000 so 60-1 and then added another 100 to win 4000 at 40-1 to win it all Going all in. May hedge slightly in the final just to get my 150 back.

I bet the Saints and LSU every year right when lines come out. Of course I am way up. When the saints won it all it paid for like 25 years of bets. And LSU has won 2 of them at big odds.

Heisman has been wrapped up for two weeks now. Burrow now up to -1450. Not gonna pull a Tua 2018 el-foldo at 1/10 with a week to go.

As for Title, even if LSU almost certainly in even if lose SECCG, I'd hedge the buy-in of $330 or a nickel($500) on UGa ATS.

Then, probably a dime(1K) on the 4th seed, maybe half ATS and half on the Moneyline..

Then, another dime hedge on OSU/Clem winner Moneyline in Title Gm.

P.S. If you have enough betting outs, and LSU meets up with OSU, also check out Fields, Young, and Dobbins MVP odds. For if they are to win, these options may offer better odds than OSU in a near Pick Em to 2 or 3 pt spread either way.

I have a much smaller bet on LSU to win the natty (would win me $1300)

If LSU gets to the title game I’m hoping they’re favored, then I’ll hedge with the points, guarantee myself $600 or so, and possibly win both bets
