    ohio st -6

    I have ohio st -6 pending on a couple parlays.
    do you guys think I should hedge it, or just let it roll?

    leaning towards letting it roll, but scared because of what happened to duke and wisconsin today

    Well im on them pretty big straight up. So far sullinger has been unstoppable in the post. Hopefully he'll continue his stellar play and ohio st. will roll kentucky tomorrow.

    they were both 4 teamers, hit 3 on each already both pending ohio st -6.

    my bankroll is still pretty small so both parlays would win me $107.50 (my current balance is $94.50, started today with $105.00)

    maybe hedge with Kentucky for 1 of the parlays if you want to guarantee a little profit? I like OSU but I understand you want to maximize value and minimize risk after hitting 3 straight

    should I just lay $40 on ohio st ml since I started with $50 only 2 days ago? that way if they dont pull through at -6, I will still be up big.

    No, because OSU could straight up lose.

    You take Kentucky +6 (buy back points if you have to, because the line might move on you).

    If you already know you are going to win $107 if OSU covers at -6
    then lay $66 to win $60 on Kentucky +6.
    This way, you're guaranteed up $40 no matter what happens.

    Or, since you probably only laid $10 -$15 on this parlay.
    Maybe you don't want to lay $66 on Kentucky +6 because you will only win $40 as opposed to the $107 you would have grabbed if you left the thing alone.

    Consider this:
    Get Kentucky+6 for around $20-$30, to cover your parlay loss and make a little.

    Don't do that OSU moneyline
    I don't see that helping this situation at all

    I'm going with Ohio. I'm thinking kentucky won't even bet up 60 points for the whole game. Maybe in the 50's. Ohio can play any kind of game. I just watched it with that texas team, and george mason and they won. hopefully things will work out
