What do you think of this strategy?

This week I have decided to parlay every wager i play with new england moneyline. I started last night with navy. I feel like this line will continue to go up and I'll probably hedge at game-time with the cowboys moeny line, I just really feel good about pats winning this week, even though I am the worlds biggest cowboy homer.

If by the end of the weekend, I have 1000 wagered to win @$1600, I figure I can get cowboys moneyline at +230 or 240 by then and bet a few hundred and cover my 1000 to gaurantee either breaking even or winning @$1200.

What does everyone think, are there holes in my strategy?

thanks for your input.
robert

Yeah, I thought about that, but I would have risk at least 2x as much and I really wouldn't be at all surprised if this game gets ugly, 14+ pt win by NE.

Makes sense, but I still don't like it. Too drunk to figure out why I don't like it, but there is something wrong with it.

You would be better off betting every bet seperately. If u do the math it always works out more profitable.

correct, this is proven fact.

especially if you are not going to let the original bet ride, even less in your favor.

This is the key to the odds in your stategy.

It seems that you are going to make mutiple straight bets and then parlay every one of those with the Patriots' ML. You will only be in a position to hedge if a significant majority of your straight wagers come in.

Good luck, Rob.
