I was thinking about it this morning though, and I should have bet $50-100 that I was right. One of them probley would have called me. Oh well, missed oportunities...
We had a similar situation like this in a home game one time about the best five cards. One guy was so convinced he won the pot he put 50 on it and called one of the local casino's. He had to forfeit the pot and caugh up an extra fifty. Funny thing is the pot wasn't even fifty bucks.

Hedging bets is for suckers.
