I have an absolutely gargantuan 7 game streak going in the Wagerline survivor contest. If I win today should I hedge my ninth pick, which would be for the hat? Or should I just start hedging today?

Help me sweat this awful bet! I've been awake 36 hours and just made the dumbest bet of my life. Thought I found a massive scalp on the Rockets/Jazz game 7, Utah +225 to win the series, Houston +104 to win game 7. It wasn't until after I placed my entire roll on Matchbook (fortunately only about $600) on this before my head cut through the sleep deprivation to realize that the Houston bet was actually -5.5 +104. I figured out the -EV of this, and it's not too horribly worse than hedging, so I've decided to let it ride. If Houston wins by 1-5 points I'm cleaned out at Matchbook.

Feel free to either commiserate or mock me, but I need all the sweat, karma, and voodoo 2+2 can muster up. Starting now I'm going to drink like a bastard until I pass out from total exhaustion. I don't know if I want to be awake for this. [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

All the best. I've been on Utah all season with free plays and stuff like that. Had pretty much written it off but guess I'll pay some attention now.

Here's to a Utah win, or a massacre.

This country (England) is pretty stupid. Can't get a live NBA game more than once a week, but we get the boxing without having to pay.

I'd like to swap
