    BYU is up big... but San Diego State has cost themselves like 17 points in the first half and is down 17-0.

    The 2nd half line is TCU -1/2.

    No because I'd have no chance of winning both? Or no because you think TCU will at least cover the 17.5?

    TCU's secondary is dreadful... so with SDSU passing and TCU probably in prevent in the 4th, I guess I like their chances to at least only lose by 17.

    well, if you cant live with the fact that you might be down 650, hedge, either hedge to get equal profit either way, or put 500 on tcu, and you either break even or go up 450

    if you can take the loss stick with your original bet



    *Edit* disregard, my mathematics skills are worse than I thought

    I could bet TCU ML 2nd half... -140...

    That way, if it is a 17 point game at the end, I'd tie my ML hedge and win the original teaser.

    I'm up 1000 today.... I don't WANT to lose... I don't know if that means whether I can take it or not, LOL

    Always a tough decision to make but I hope it turns out well for you. I typically play dogs in teasers and have had a decent amount of luck lately with a late score to fall within the number.

    good, cause I just realized what a moron I am, I couldnt do basic arithmetics, it would be impossible for you to hedge without wiping out most of your profit

    The hedge would have guaranteed a loss of around $100-150 by my math.

    I can't have faith for a team who fumbled a field goal attempt and then fumbled at the 2 into the back of the end zone or on a team that has 0 points at home against a defense who has been lit up all year.

    And now the stupid fa\*\*ot for SDSU throws an INT deep into SDSU territory.

    Should have hedged. This SDSU team has no business in D1 football.

    I was shocked... I was only following on my phone, so maybe they just ran up the middle and SDSU didn't tackle well, but if they did some kind of misdirection or off center run to get that big run, that is pretty classless since the game was pretty much milked if they just run 3 times up the gut.

    Thank god for the fumble though.

    Thanks for the advice in this thread, I was close to hedging before everyone said no.
