    Half-unit play wins me about 4.5 units.

    What would y'all do?

    Hedge with Skins +7 for a couple of units and call it a day?

      Depends how much you got on it.. if it's a substantial amount, yes.

          Well, the half unit ain't much obviously, but the 4.5 payoff is pretty good.

                  HEDGE!!! Public is heavy on a Monday night road dog. I wish I had a stat on this...... if I did it would tell you hedge. These are the games Vegas was built on.

                  SEA should win and more than likely will...... but not by as much or as often as everyone thinks.

                      Thanks for the thoughts, gentlemen! Decided to let it ride. If the Skins play a great game, so be it, but I'm gonna roll with the Hawks here. Best of luck to all this evening!

                          Wilson is one of the smartest QBs in the league. Really starting to become a fan of his.

                            I"m a Pats fan from Boston, but I fell in love with this kid instantly... somehow he's still underrated even as a Super Bowl winner... never gets mentioned among the best even though he does absolutely everything right, makes every right decision, is impossible to contain... He's like a gentle assassin.

                                  He's very solid player and person in an absolute DREAM setup.

                                    He always makes the right play it seems like. He doesn't wow you with arm strength but he is accurate, can improvise, and doesn't make mistakes.

                                    Earlier in the game Seattle called a rubbing play and Washington crashed everyone to the right after the snap and you could see Wilson see it out of the corner of his eye. Instead if handing off for a sure three yard loss, he pulled it back and ran the other way for 20 yards.

                                    Very smart player.

                                        God I love Russell Wilson. That play on the final drive was as ridiculous as you'll see anyone make. That should be on sports science for it's degree of difficulty. Heads-up by Lynch too.

                                            I didn't even hear what Gruden said, just going on what I saw! You serious, bro? He's running full-steam toward his own territory away from rushers and then has to throw back against his momentum while just in a terrible throwing position. And still makes a perfect pass to Lynch for the big gainer like he always does.

                                                  Umm, this is a one-page thread, dude, you couldn't read a few posts and see that I hit the parlay before typing this? Anyway, it's not unreasonable to just think about taking the automatic win.

                                                      I did, but you're going to have to spell out what you mean in more words, my friend. Why is this case, unlike everyone else's posts about hedging, different? Why is it inappropriate here to consider hedging? Not seeing it. In any event, I DID NOT HEDGE and I CASHED the original parlay.

                                                      Thanks.

                                                        You made a thread about hedging. It means your original bet was a mistake. How can I make it any more clear?

                                                            If you want to cash an automatic win, bet both sides and pay the juice both ways. Tell me how that works for ya.

                                                              What don't you understand about guaranteeing a return? You have a parlay that can pay you 4.5 units if it hits. But you want to guarantee a WIN, a CASH. Now in this case I decided to let it ride, but nevertheless I could have guaranteed two units of PROFIT by playing the Skins. Guaranteed profit regardless of outcome. What is so confusing to you? On what planet does giving up juice by playing both sides belong in the same conversation? Goodnight.

                                                                That's what hedges means. It means you bet one side, got scared for whatever reason, and then bet the other side.
