    Hedge help

    All - I would appreciate your help. I have two teasers that need 49ers +7 to cash (put them in just before the number started steaming this morning or the books stopped teaser-protecting... whatever).

    I risked 1.5 units total to win approximately 5. I still feel okay about the 49ers, but I'm not loving it anymore. I feel I should hedge a bit. Is it acceptable in this scenario to hedge simply to avoid a loss, i.e., put 1.5 units on Seattle -2.5? This gives me a nice 4.5 point middle and I am guaranteed to avoid a loss. Thoughts?

    You don't think the Niners stay within 7? Does a tie at +7 win or push?

    I would hedge with the Hawks here. Im expecting a fairly low scoring close game but if one team does win clear it would be the Seahawks. Very realalistic chance to hit both. Good Luck.

    Why not hedge in a 2 team 7 point teaser. You could easily middle with Seahawks +4.5 and your best college team +7 extra points.

    Yeah I would cover any losses if your not sure anymore, but Niners should cover a TD.

    Tie reduces. Something's just scaring me about this game now. I don't know what it is.
