Scav,

Any coach fouls in that situation when they came down and hit that 3. Those kids werent prepared because he didnt prepare them.

I loved what Bobby Knight said about calling a timeout. Regardless of how many times youve been over something in practice if it comes down like that you immediately call a timeout to set your kids. Go over it with each kid and tell them their assignment and what they are to do. You would think these morons have never played in an organized game before with the mistakes they made the last 2 minuets. It lies on Calapari's shoulders, he was horrible when they needed him. Yeah his kids didnt hit freethrows, he didnt have them prepared, he was shrugging off missing freethrows in his last press conference. Foul, he never tried to foul, he never told those kids that. He just got schooled, he choked, and so did his kids.

When PG1985 got on Calapari should have forfeited

I agree 100%, he cost them the game as much as missing the FT's and such, all around choke job. And you know what, if he is interviewed tomorrow or Friday, I would like to think that he would admit that.

It's never going to happen, Scav. He's an ego-maniac. Laying the the game on "the lords will"; love what Jay Bilas said, 'not calling a TO had nothing to do with the lords will'. HAHA

I really like Jay Bilas as a commentator, the guy knows his stuff and isn't afraid to say something that is out of the norm.

I think we all have been around many Calapari's in our lifes, and the fact is, that people like this, it tears them up inside because they know they screwed up. Trust me, he knows he lost that game yesterday, just was hoping that his kids would bail him out.

So lets revisit. Obviously we know the outcome and what happened, but should I have hedged. Reason I ask is that yesterday I was very confident, I liked my position and honestly, I went against what I normally do.

When I am at the track, and lets say I played a $10 P3 and I am alive to two horses in the final leg, both favorites, and I am collecting $800 and $1000 on those two live horses, I have $60 invested into the ticket. I will take another $40 or $90 and spread it in the race that will improve my odds of making money, say be positive at least $100.

I guess it really depends on where you are at in a multitude of situations(financially, mentally), but I could have gotten +110 last night, with $200 invested, and invested another $500, and been guaranteed either $1600 (900 profit) or $1050(350 profit)

Just the other side of the coin, but looking at these numbers, I still think I did the right thing....

If you could have got +120 it would have been worth the hedge since you'd have been hedging and getting value on Kansas. At +105 or +110 though, I think you did the right thing as painful as it turned out.

You dont hedge a bet like that. You stand to win 1600 on a 200 dollar bet. The 200 isnt going to change your lifestyle, nor is the 1600. Like Coach Pants said, just let the bitch ride. If you lose you lose, youll lose a lot more before you die, and youll probably win a lot more. I never hedge, win like a man, and bitch when you lose, thats they way to do it.

I know how you feel dude. Was in the same situation Sunday at Aqueduct. Played a $2 pick 3 singling the 5 in the 8th, felt like the 7th was wide open and anybody could win so hit the all button, and used 5 of 8 in the last. Total cost = $60. The 7th race complies, with a $31 winner, the single wins at 5/2, and I'm left with willpays of $500-$4,000. The three uncovered horses were 5-1, 20-1, and 20-1. I said to Holly "the right thing to do would be bet $80 on the 5-1, and $25 each on the 20-1's but i'm stupid so i won't"... of course, the 20-1's run 1-2 and I missed a nice score on the P3 and felt like a bigger idiot for not hedging a bit, even though i felt the race was wide open. But, like Bid said... let the b*tch ride. None of these scores were big enough to change your life in any way, and you can wake up today and not be too upset with yourself.
