    I have a 19:1 parlay riding on Portland +7

    Not a large investment so it doesn't pay out a truckload, but it is what it is. Nice situation to be in, except for the fact that I was going to go big on it as an individual play as well.

    So what do I do now? I'll hedge I guess, though I'm pretty confident in the Blazers. Ironically, I was in the exact same boat a few weeks back -- needing a Portland cover to complete a parlay -- and hedged with Utah the night the Blazers pulled off that epic collapse at home.

    So do I go 40% again like I did last time to be safe? Less?

    In these situations I usually hedge just enough to get my investment back, but since you only invested a small amount maybe hedge for a descent profit on either result.

    Good luck

    Good luck. I always try and make sure all of my other games are done with the last of a parlay, for this very reason.

    Wizards ML, eh? Must be a nice chunk of change!
