      If you have Portland ML and not the spread then it doesn't really matter what you hedge because you can just do Houston ML at like +300 and will win money either way.

                  If you risked $21, and at +300 ML for Houston you can risk $25 to win $75.

                  So it's pretty much up to you. You can risk $25 and can't lose money either way and automatically win money either way.

                  This will ONLY work if you have Portland ML and without the spread, just to make sure.

                    I think i'm going to do that. Thanks for the input fellas I have not been in a position like this. I don't parlay often and tried it today. I don't see Portland losing at home but I don't want to be left with nothing in this unpredictable NBA. Also my book has it at 280+
