Reading the commentary about whether Kentucky can run the table this year in the b'ball tourney made me think about how would I place a large bet if taking Kentucky versus the field.

The confidence that I see from folks on 11W regarding the Buckeyes repeating triggered the same thought process.

Here is my proposition for you:  If someone were to hand you $500,000 and you had to place one of the following bets, what would you do?  I made the amount large enough to be life changing.  Also, you must bet the entire amount so it is basically double or nothing.

Bet A

Choice 1 - Kentucky to win the national title

Choice 2 - Anyone else to win the national title

Bet B

Choice 1 - Buckeyes to repeat as national champions

Choice 2 - Someone else to win the national championship

In the first bet, it is not so much heart versus head but in the second it is very clearly that.  In other words, it you had a substantial amount of money riding on a repeat, how confident would you be?
