I guess you could call this an "emotional hedge". Kinda interesting thinking about emotions in terms of dollars and cents.

I'm betting against my Indianapolis Colts on the moneyline this Monday. I'll gladly kiss my money away if the Colts can win. I'm just trying to decide how much I want to pay to "buy" a Colts victory. I've got 10 units on the Pats, which is twice as much as I've put on any other game this season, so far. Maybe I am getting too emotionally involved.
