That would be a nice payout but I think UVA is going to finish it after last year's embarrassment.

He should put about $150,000 on Virginia to win and he would come out pretty good either way.

Exactly but a lot of amateur bettors get in this position and don't have the proper bankroll to hedge properly.

He had the ticket up for sale for $100k. Decent hedge too, but I guess he didn't get a taker.

This guy is apparently a well-known bettor and says he isn't going to hedge...weird.

Actually he got a $125,000 offer.
Quote:For a few hours on Friday afternoon, Bryant had the high bid of $50,000 on PropSwap for the $1,500 Texas Tech ticket (the bettor was asking for $65,000), and the highest official bid came in at $57,500. The bettor declined both bids and let the bet ride into Saturday night's Final Four game against Michigan State.
He did sell his $800 Texas Tech ticket for $20,250 on PropSwap on Saturday morning, hours before the Red Raiders defeated Michigan State 61-51 to advance to Monday night's title game.
He put his $1,500 Texas Tech ticket back up on PropSwap on Sunday but would've needed an astronomical bid to sell. He declined a $125,000 bid.
