    Should I hedge? +13500* ML bet

    Texas State is up 27-10 on Houston.

    I have $50 on it that pays $6750

    Should I hedge? They look real good and seems to be able to stretch the lead but is it worth nail biting versus taking half the money guaranteed???

    Guaranteed money is always a good thing. But Houston seem lost out there with their new everything. I'd ride it out and get paid

    Just Texas State and Wyoming(+4000). I really felt good about Texas State and really wanted to bet a few hundred but got scared.

    I hate to hedge this because Texas State looks the better team by far but anything can happen and why get greedy. I really want to put more money on Texas State but it's only week 1. I have to use discipline and not get emotional.

    Man I really wanted to ride it out but can't.

    Dennis Franchione is a good coach and I don't see him losing this lead in the 2nd half. They really want to make a statement being new to FBS and I don't see them letting up but it's bordering on arrogant if someone said they'd give me $3G's guaranteed locked and I tempted fate.

    I already cashed TS over 12 and the +35.5 is a no brainer.

    Nice bet, I wouldn't hedge that, they look good. And only a 50 dollar bet, but still great pick.

    I hedged it for $2750 (Cougs -15, +100). The actual payout is $6750. So I'm either up $4G's or $2700. I can live with that.

    Texas State ain't letting up. I think they drive here and put up another score.

    Damn I would not have hedged! Houston are literally finished, completely lost out there from what I've seen. Damn I wish I was near the sportsbook I would have went on Texas State second half. Either way Good win!

    Texas State went 3 and out on the first possession then Houston get's the ball back and is driving only to throw an interception. This could turn into a crazy half. I really like Texas State but I can at least relax watching this madness. Houston's defense seems to be fired up this half. Who knows what will happen.

    I know these announcers flat out suck. They can't get shit right. I thought TS just got a first down but they had to punt. Horrible broadcast.
