    How to hedge these SB Futures

    Alright boys I have some nice futures left for the SB and want some opinions...

    I've got

    Pats to win SB (+750) 2x
    GB to win SB (+1000) 2x
    Colts to win SB (+1000) 1x
    *Also had Cowboys (+1000) 1x

    So do I put 5 or 6 units (x) on Seattle to win SB at (+100) or take them straight up the next two games...?

    Also considering Seattle to beat Colts (+600) and Seattle to beat Pats (+175)

    Let it ride out and hope Seattle doesn't repeat?

    Had a tough run this CFB bowl season so would like to come out of these with +units but hate hedging at the same time..

    I'd cheer for the pats and greenbay this week then hedge accordingly for the Super Bowl.

    No matter what the result on Sunday you'll still have a bet to hedge against

    SBR has an arbitrage calculator that could help you run some numbers.

    Personally, I'd only hedge if circumstances have changed such that you don't like these bets as much now.

    IMO the only option you have is go all in on Seahawks to win Super Bowl

    isnt it currently -110? You have all your other bases covered.

    Start an open parlay and bet seahawks ML then if they win bet them again in the SB.

    Need to assume Seattle will be -150 ML in SB game if playing Pats and -220 if playing Colts and check the odds on this compared to Sea to win SB +100 currently

    Go all in on the pro bowl under 79, easiest bet of the year

    Don't you mean OVER? Seems like it's gone over the corny number 20 years in a row.

    Been over 79 only 4-5 times since 2000
    Last year, first year they changed the format it was a close game 21-20, competitive til the end
