Hedge the parlay or go for the touchdown?

[curious]

I have a 4 pick parlay going where the first 3 picks won in the afternoon games.

The last game is Cleveland on the ML.

Do I go for the touchdown or bet on Texas to lock in a guaranteed profit?

If Cleveland wins, I win $1000. If they lose I win $0, If I bet $450 on Texas I lock in a guaranteed $500.

What would you do?

I say go for it.

Bet on Texas. This way to matter what, you make 500$

Depends how confident you are on the Tribe tonight. If you feel you have an edge, let it ride or put 200 or so on the Rangers so you don't walk away with nothing.

I wouldn't lock in even profit. I'd probably put about $200 on Texas so you're guaranteed a return, but a nicer one if your parlay hits.

Another option??

You could put $300-$420 on Texas plus the 1 1/2, & hope they lose by one, so you hit them both! Line is now -140.
Personally, I would want to get something back on the parlay. Depends on your situation, really. If $500 means alot to you, then take it, or take the 1 1/2 runs. Your call.

One of my finance professors in college always said "you never go broke taking a profit."

[babaoriley]

I like the Tribe tonight, but I'd probably hedge 20% or so, as well.

Let it ride, Byrd will pitch well and Tejada, well, he's Tejada.
