    advice on middle

    Had $80 in bets today on NFL
    Won $76.32 back so far
    Ravens cover +8 tomorrow night I win an additional $92.27

    Wondering if I should bet Jets tomorrow night and will have a pretty wide range to win both bets and also lock in a profit. If you have any advice or could point me to a formula where I can figure out optimal play it would be greatly appreciated. I would assume Jets -1 and Jets -2 makes a difference.

    Thanks

    Why not placing around $50 on Jets -2 and pray for the middle? If not - you would win like $45 each way.

    With such a small bet you should definetly let it ride. Market price for +8 on a +2 line is probably somewhere around -300 (rough guess) and you're getting -110.

    I'm in the boat; I have ravens +8.5 in the last leg of two pretty big teasers, so I might hedge a little bit.

    Because a game lands on 2 around 3% of the time.

    Taking the middle here with NYJ ML I see more long term value in the middle.

    What % of your bankroll does the $92.27 Represent?

    If if its less than 10 %, dont bother hedging.
