    I am tempted to let it ride even though I got burned in a similar situation last time.

    I was thinking of teasing CIN and Over for $1.5k or just let it ride..

    Cincy and the over sounds good to me. You might win them both. Good luck with whatever you choose. Pulling for you.

        I think Cincy blows them out.. Just my opinion. If it were ME, I'd throw down $1,400 on Cincy and cash the guaranteed $... but I guess it depends on the value of a buck to you. Nice bet though!

              For some reason I think they stay in it and keep it respectable. Hoyer is 2-0 vs. Bengals and has been throwing well lately. 2tds for 5 straight games.

                I'm with you. This is Houston or nothing. They didn't look amazing against Cleveland last week. They appear to be on autopilot.

                  you have to hedge that a couple hundred bucks but I'd probably let it ride. MNF will be a close game. I can see texans winning outright

                    I don't know what your normal wager is 50$ a game? 100$? I'd definitely hedge. If you bet 1400$ on Cincy you guarantee yourself minimum 70x your original wager. Possibly 90x if Houston covers. No one can say they would say no to 70x their wager.

                      Except that $1400 on the Bengals money line pays a little over $200 which is certainly not 70x $24

                        I would hedge; make your best estimation of the probability for Cincy to cover and hedge accordingly. Or bite the bullet and sweat it. No "safe" way to go about it (or you can buy a point or two and try to middle it while hedging, but I would not recommend doing that).

                          Throw $1200 on Cincy -6.5pts @ $1.50
                          1200x1.5 =1800 -1200 = $600profit

                          3200-1200 =$2000 profit if cincy dont cover 10.5

                          If cincy win 7-10pts = $3800 profit

                          Im sure u can find a good number somewhere..goodluck 2 ya!!

                              Use your head not emotions. You see a big payout but it's only that until you win the last leg. What's the chance Houston covers 50%. Is that good enough for you.

                              Green Bay lost to Detroit. It's the NFL. Someone has already advised you to get an alternative spread on Cinci assuming you have the money. Also the line is now around 12. You could take a chance and bet a few hundred on Cinci and hope the win margin is not magically 11. Strange things happen but if you have the means just hedge to guarantee yourself something.

                                Im telling him to put 1400 on -10.5. He either wins 1400 or 1800.

                                  I'm a greedy bastard, so I probably will play a big teaser and try to hit both. I think I will only hedge about $500 since I feel like I am on the right side of this game.

                                    Buy the bengals to 9.5 for as much money as the book will accept., Guarantee yourself one or both prizes.
                                    DO NOT TEASE A chance to lose twice. Guaranteed at least one win with the bengals flat at -9.5.

                                      Parlay should have paid $3266.86, not sure why 5Dimes pencil whipped you.

                                      Hedge straight bet, Bengals -10 (-120), $1200 to win $1000, 30% hedge. Bengals could blow past -10 1/2, definitely possible

                                        Rule of thumb, always keep a hedge as small as possible unless something drastically changed from when the bet was placed that makes you see things differently now.

                                        Good luck

                                          I forgot I also have a Teaser with HOU +19.5 as the last leg for $330.

                                          Anyway, playing a little greedy:

                                          CIN -6.5
                                          Over 40.5
                                          ($500 to win $500)

                                                  You can also play a prop bet that Cindy will win by more than 10 points.....the odds might be helpful so you don't gave to get much.

                                                    Try a two team 13 point teaser to hedge.

                                                    Take Houston like plus 23 and over 33.

                                                    Just my two cents worth.

                                                        Anyway, playing a little greedy:

                                                        CIN -6.5
                                                        Over 40.5
                                                        ($500 to win $500)
                                                        I like this shit right here

                                                            At this site, what are the odds on a 6 team parlay and a 7 team parlay? What would happen if you took the original bet plus the proceeds of the six team winner, and bet it all on the seventh game ATS?
