Default Combine/Hedge with Bet Fred?

Is there any reason NOT to combine this with the Bet Fred offer? Bet on Pittsburgh at BetWWTS and bet on Jacksonville at BetFred (the line right now is Pit -1.5 at both sites)?

For example, you can bet $200 on Pit at BetWWTS and £100 on Jax at Bet Fred. Since £1 = almost $2:
<ul type="square">[*]If Pit wins/covers you win $200 (less the vig.) at BetWWTS and lose £100 at BetFred for a wash.
[*]If Jax wins you get $100 back from BetWWTS leaving you -$100; and you win your £100 bet + £100 bonus from BetFred for a net of a little less than $300.[/list]Thanks to the vig., I think you lose the least EV by betting only $100 at BetWWTS; but you can lock in a profit by betting anywhere from around $200-$500 on Pit at BetWWTS.

The Mansion thing was my first sports bet. Am I missing anything obvious?
