    Why not Balt -1 or -2? You don't have to lay as much juice and you still have a chance to win both bets.

    I'm in the same boat. I have an 8 game teaser as well with NO +3.5 left as the last leg. 5Dimes is terrible with their line shading and payouts. You got 11 to 1 for 8 gamer with 6.5 pts... bet365 pays 13 to 1 for the same. I threw $70 on it to return $910. Do what I am doing, wait for a good live betting spot. Preferably BAL +7.5 or something so can you middle. If you don't want to do that, judge hedge so you are free-rolling with NO

    I understand but why include NO in that teaser when you are going to hedge it if all other teams won.

    To answer the question, I would take the ML. Then you have a little gamble to win a lot.

    I don't know. This was just a long shot and happened to hit. I do not normally play that many selections, but I did not like many sides this week so took a shot at a few teasers.

    Take the plus points so you are rooting for New Orleans to win by three or bal to win by three now that's a good spread. If you take ml then you can only root for bal to win by one to three. You have to pay juice but non factor when your guaranteed money anyway. It's only plus 35 on ml and assume 10 on spread. Basically your risking 45 of winnings for 7 point leeway (don't forget about a tie game). Whereas you are trying to win 35 for three points. If New Orleans wins by 4 or more your out 10 by taking spread and if Balt wins by 4 or more you out 50 plus you could of won 35.So with that said assume you play 250. Possible win for a hit in the middle taking spread:750(7 point leeway) saints win by4 or more:225 Balt win by 4 or more:200. Taking money line hit in middle: 837.50(3 point leeway)saints win by 4 or more:250 Balt wins by 4 or more:337.50.

    I think I follow you. Safer hedge is BAL +3.5, and ML hedge = more risk but nicer payout.

    I hope the game stays within 3! Prefer BAL win by 1-3 points because of other teasers/parlays.

    Worst case scenario NO blows em out over 13 points and I only get to cash this one.
