      let it ride IMO. unless that money actually really really means a lot to you, then probably hedge it slightly.

            Don't let it ride, that is retarded.

            Are you really going to say, if OSU loses, "wow I'm glad I let it ride" instead of taking money regardless?

            Take UK right now at +6, for like $150. You could win all of your bets this way (not likely), or this one and the OSU ML ones.

            Not ensuring a profit is stupid IMO.

              If you're gonna hedge do a 4 or 5 pt teaser w/ UK to 10 or 11 and bring the total down. That way you're more likely to win them all. The total will hit seeing how most all tourney games have gone over. Bol

                If the money is substantial then hedge. If you can afford to lose let it ride.

                    In my opinion, definitely hedge it. Why not guarantee yourself a decent profit while you can? If you're only betting 10-25 a game, why not ensure yourself $100+ of winnings? Take UK and the points, watch the game at ease, and hope to win them all!! Best of luck with whatever you decide to do.

                          hedge it...not with the total teased either- that's a horrible idea that ruins the entire point of hedging, which is to guarantee money

                            Hedge for $60, your wagered amount. If OSU loses/don't cover, you don't lose a penny. If they win/cover, you could be in for $300.

                                  I hope that you hedged those parlays last night. Did someone on here really convince you to let 4 pending parlays ride? Not one...but 4?
