Hedging Question in terms of sportsbooks

[ICXCNIKA]

Just thinking ahead being prepared. Should my big parlay come down to the Pats - I know I can play the Jets ATS without an issue - HOWEVER - would a book (5dimes in this case) screw me if I wanted to play the Jets ML? Not sure if they would jump in and mention something about "playing both sides" - especially with so much cash involved.

Anyone has had any type of experience with this?

They have never said anything to me. I have never done it witch that much cash on the line tho. I'm not sure why they would care tho.

They don't care if you hedge. You should hedge your original $2500 man. Winning $70,000 with $2500 would still have a feel good feeling as a $80,000 winner, at least for me it is.

[ICXCNIKA]

I'm definitely hedging if it comes down to the Pats. No doubt about it. Just not sure yet how I will approach the Eagles/Giants game(s)

[MUHerd37]

If you did ML for both Giants and Eagles you just have to be worried about the Eagles. Giants should beat up the Seahawks. The Eagles could be a problem tho. Hopefully for you, they get their shit straight.

[ICXCNIKA]

Yea not too worried about the Giants.

I would be betting heavy on all 3 of this hedges & very heavy on the late game if it came down to that.

The books want you to hedge your parlays because they get twice the juice, and it reduces their exposure.

yeah as MW said, they couldn't care less about a parlay hedge.
