    Firstly - Nice play.

    Secondly - What is the spread?

    Thirdly - How many units are you trying to get out of this? Personally, if youve been doing well lately, I would let it ride. It was your initial hunch and just gotta go with it sometimes. Ive hedged some big parlays before and I gave them back some money bc my initial hunch was right all along.

    Thank FB. No numbers for the spread yet, just checked. I figure since I'm only 100 into this, I may as well try to squeeze 1k out of this. I'm not that confident Dallas can beat SA at home straight up tomorrow.

    Agreed - if Spurs come out at -200 ML (which I think it will be a bit less) - Id lay 1100 on them. If they win, you net $450. If they lose, $900.

    You could play around those numbers and find what youre most comfortable with. If you are extremely confident SA wins, though, you can always swing your position. Bet $2k on SA ML @ -200 to win $1k. If Dallas really pulls out the W (which would be nuts) you wash. If not, you make $900 on an outright bet with a huge favorite at home.

    I would probably go with the latter. No way Dallas wins this.

    Options: (Spurs ML @ -290/Mavs ML @ +230)

    1.) Put $290 to win $100 on the Spurs ML (then hope the Mavs win, but if they don't you lose nothing.)

    2.) Put $1450 to win $500 on the Spurs ML (then you are guaranteed money, $400 if the Spurs win, and $550 if the Mavs win.)

    3.) Put $2,030 on the Spurs ML (you would be essentially risking $30 of your own money to win $600 on the Spurs ML) Obviously you can just bet $2,000 and not risk an additional 30, I just did this for more even calculations


    I would go with Option 2 or 3, personally for me, Option 3.

    Congrats and good luck

    Definitely hedge. If you don't have the funds, add them. If you can't, DEFINITELY go with option 1 at the least

    Free money is a beautiful thing
