To hedge or not to?

What does everyone think....

Have a
$62 parlay to win $813..

Have 1 team left MID TENN ST (MONEY LINE)


Should I let it buck or take the easy money and put some on DENVER +2 tonight? And if so how much would you guys do?

personally, my strategy is to hedge to win amount risked in original parlay, that way the worst i can do is come out even

gl whatever way you go

I have a gut feeling that MTS wins as well and wins by 7 or so... I hate to even try waiting for HT and waiting for a line, but would also let to see $800 slip thru my claws as well. Most of the time I take the easy money and run but not sure here.

Thanks for all the feed back folks.

I generally hedge my bet. It also depends on how comfortable you feel about your bet. Small spread bets can equal alot of stress that quite frankly I don't need. How much? Well it all depends on the amount risk and payoff. In your case I would bet enough so no matter what I guarantee myself a good profit and have a good night sleep. But just my opinion.

Cheers,

Boozer

I would love to see the line go to say a +2.5 or +3 for denver and then there'd be a chance I could hit both...

I am going to play the chicken card and put $330 to win $300 on the +2... At least make some profit on the night. The bankroll in this one book that I'm using is about $1,400 so will add a nice chunk.

Thanks for the feed back guys. I'm hoping for a MTS 1 pt win now, but would take a 2 point win as well to push one and win the other.

LMAO nothing chicken about guaranteed money my man. If you told me I could have a 100% guaranteed money at anytime I would take it. The hard part is over my friend, you already took the risk and now it's time to get paid by the man.

Cheers,

Boozer

Thanks for all those whom gave advise last night. I didn't even follow the game as like said above I wanted to get a good nights sleep. I am SO GLAD that I took the easy money and ran. Sure it wasn't even 50% of what I could have won but profit is profit and with the win last night makes a happier man today!
