Insurance choice for Economics - Warwick ( A*A*A) or Bristol (A*AA)

I do Maths , Further Maths , Economics and Physics at A levels . I have offers from UCL , Warwick and Bristol ( all for BSc Economics). I am firming UCL . Not able to decide on insurance option between Warwick and Bristol . I prefer Warwick but I need two A* for it though not mandating which subjects . Any views/suggestions on this situation ?

I have below offers :

1) UCL conditional offer with A*AA
A* needed in Maths , A needed in Economy and A in Physics or FM

Firming UCL

2) Warwick conditional offer with A*A*A
any two A* and one A ( atleast A in Maths )

3) Bristol conditional offer with A*AA
atleast A in Maths

Which one shud I go for insurance ? I am predicted 4 A* . but am bit skeptical in having Warwick as insurance which needs two A* ( though it doesn’t mandate which subjects need to be A* ).

UCL needs just one A* , but mandated for Maths .

I am not keen on Bristol at all , but worried to have Warwick with two A* as insurance .

Any thoughts please ?
If you are not keen on Bristol, would you actually go there if you got placed there on results day? If not, no point Insuring them regardless of grade requirements.

Logically it does not make any sense to have higher offer as your insurance.
If you think you will get A* in other subjects but not maths then it could be valid.
But it feels very risky.
Incase you miss A* in Maths or get just 1 A* but not maths, you will end up loosing both of them
Bristol is very good uni.
I am parent and working of commodities trading firm, and we do hire from Bristol alot.
So think carefully insuring higher offer.
