Does it make sense to hedge?

Beginning of the Elite 8 I placed (2) $100 bets on futures for Butler and VCU at around 20 to 1 and 25 to 1 respectively.

Seeing UConn and Kentucy are around +195 and +140, does it make sense to make a play on both?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thats what im talking about!

I figured i'd get more bang for my buck now instead of a possible -200+ moneyline for Uconn or Kentucky.

Whatcha say throw maybe a couple hundred on each?
