    Need help, $5,000 on the line, should I hedge, included screenshot

    I don't really bet NFL much, i started this year. I had a good sense these teams would win after I did my capping.

    I teased the points a bit and took a bit of a payout loss. I am glad I did the NE one at the time of the bet!

    I have the Bears to cover +7.5. Should I bet Lions 1K tomm? I can get -7.5@2.10 at Bet365.

    Or do you think the Bears will cover? Thanks,

    That's prob best thing to do, i rarely play more then 2 games per slip. So maybe 1K or should i not be greedy and bet $2500? What is usual amount to hedge?

    i wouldnt go 2500

    1k is fine, worst case scenario u win 500, and it still leaves the chance for a big win, 2500 would cut into that too much

    just my opinion though, good luck man

    if you go 2500 that means you guarantee yourself a 2.5k win isn't it?! I think it might be worth it, betting 1k would leave you with either 500 win OR 4000

    So it's like 2,500 vs. 2,500 OR 500 vs. 4,000

    I'd go for the surely 2,500 .


    Please anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong here.

    Bet Detroit -7. for $2,500.
    You'll win your parlay and get push on this bet if Detroit wins exactly by 7.
