The tweet was saying instead of take the cash out, to make hedge bets against Diggs. The screenshots show the math better. It makes sense and isnt wrong it just assumes you have 5k in your account to hedge with. In this scenario, if you did, you could guarantee a payout higher than the cash out I believe.

But yes, Diggs didn’t get over 50 yards and that parlay failed. So if he didn’t hedge or cash out then the bettor got nothing, which means he should have cashed out. If he did have the hedge money then yeah, make the bet.

Okay. Thanks. So my basic interpretation was correct as far as the information that I reviewed. I didn't read through all that data to see the information about the way to hedge the bet.

"Volunteers" is a title. "Vols" is also a title. The title is originally plural and doesn't change when being addressed by a 3rd party. You are a Vols or Volunteers fan, because that is their name. Washington Commanders. You would be a Commanders fan, not a Commander fan. Philadelphia Eagles. You would be an Eagles fan, not an Eagle fan. Atlanta Braves, you would be a Braves fan, not a Brave fan. . .

Yep, he's a better Joe Milton than he was when he got here is my only point that maybe I'm not making well.

But he's not played well enough for this team/offense to be what we all know it can be. I had lower expectations for Joe I was worried he'd be far more inaccurate than he has been. My biggest let down has just been how bad he is at running RPOs. Just in the brief times we've seen Nico he already seems quicker to decide in those situations and better.

Although I agree that Joe's limitations are the main reason the offense has underperformed, I also think the loss of Golesh and inexperience of Hazele (as a playcaller) has negatively affected the offensive output more than expected. There's been some strange (or downright horrible) situational playcalling on offense in many games this year that we can hopefully chalk up to Hazele's first year on the job.

We knew what we were getting with Milton, but I do think Nico will be an upgrade, growing pains and all.

I remember under Zo, Tyndall and rebuilding Barnes losing to these teams multiple times. A PEDESTRIAN 21 POINT WIN is a signal how far this program has come. You don’t have to book tickets to the Final Four to appreciate quality.

I’d no doubt love us to win and start the spiral of ruining the Dawgs 3-peat but honestly, with the combination of injuries I think we’ll get absolutely throttled.

I can't believe we lost to that dumpster fire in Gainesville. Sigh.

It's not that we've lost road games this season, but that we didn't show up for a half in two (UF, Bama) and completely failed to show up last Saturday. To not show up against Mizzou and UF is inexcusable, IMO, and falls squarely on the coaches.

I'm still unclear about what Banks does to prepare for road games, because the defense has been generally awful minus the first half at Bama.

I want to like the Kyler podcast but they are both kind of idiots. From stating that Jalin Hyatt looked exactly the same and didn’t improve a bit when they had all of their access.

They tried to somehow argue for Martinez and Banks by comparing a defensive call/play that worked at UK and didn’t work at Mizzou. Somehow that means we are dumb for drawing criticism towards those 2 coaches
