parlay hedging? should i do anything here?

BL · 05-13-09, 05:57 AM

Well, i actually see your parlay bringing money home tonight. Would not bet anything different right now. Just wait for some ingame bets. Maybe you could get a doublecash by hedging

KingKing · 05-13-09, 06:20 AM

cool thanks for the advice!

maybe wait until halftime then

Pin Fish · 05-13-09, 05:34 PM

I would play 100.00 on nuggets as I really like the under but just do not feel as good about the mavs

KingKing · 05-13-09, 05:47 PM

not a bad idea at all! hm maybe some nugs first half too.

thanks very much for the input

Pin Fish · 05-13-09, 05:50 PM

I am on the nuggs 1st half and under for fgame probaly going to waittill right before tipof get line move take dallas and under and parlay them

Pin Fish · 05-13-09, 05:51 PM

take the nuggs bet so you get back your original bet if you lose

Wow king I have those two left also! Wierd. Good luck to us!

Hedge the Dallas bet... I think they will play well in the 2nd half but probably get blown out in the 2nd half and that line may be in jeopardy. Hedge and take half your winnings. If you don't you may feel confident at half only to see them implode in the high altitude.

thanks mac, so youd put 100 on den -10

Ya cs nice, I saw your teaser and it got me thinkin!!! so thanks man! BOL!!!

always hedge

Greed kills gamblers, gambling should be treated as an investment. When you have the bookmaker up against the wall you need to guarantee yourself something.

Actually, I don't like either of these. I'd probably keep the +14 and hedge the under 218...

Exactly... It's like playing Blackjack and whether or not you should take even money. Anytime you can get a guaranteed win, take it. No use trying to press a sure hand.

I'd put more than that. Half my parlay... So that way your guaranteed to make ~$275.

Games starting so maybe you should just ride it in the 1st half and then hedge in the 2nd. I expect Dallas to stay close in the 1st half and may even be up. The second half is where I expect them to fade.

Fuk hedging!

Why play those amount of teams if you plan on hedging?

grow a pair of balls or quit gambling!

KingKing · 05-13-09, 08:44 PM

cause man, im trying to take guaranteed money! free cash sounds good to me.

cool i was too late for the game.. but even if i took denver it could still go dal and over and i could lose both.

am i right to assume that b/c there is 2 legs left there is nothing i can do for a 100% guaranteed profit? if there is any way to do something at halftime, anyones help would be MUCH appreciated!

KingKing · 05-13-09, 09:15 PM

looking terrible

seaborneq · 05-13-09, 09:28 PM

Its a long ride son, enjoy the journey. You will have plenty of these situations before you are done.

Yeah, I didn't like either of those bets, especially the Under's. What I was saying was to hedge the 1st parlay with both bets. You would have to cut your bet by a 3rd to guarantee a win on that one.

For the last parlay, I would have went with Dallas +14 (which would have been a push) and I would have hedged the under. So basically you were going to hedge both unders and one line.
