Should I hedge this 5 Team Parlay?

No way!
You win ,and you won 37x your bet, you lose, it's like bettin someone a 12 pack of beer

I would think of it as a straight bet now. risk 10 to to win $377.00 ( pretty damn good)

Just my 2cents

The Colts cover easily. Stick with the home run.

I know its only a $10 bet...but I would almost always hedge a play like that. How often in betting do you get the chance for some guarenteed money? Just my 2 cents, good luck however you play this

Hedge it.

Nice to hit a parlay like that ($10 to win $377) once in awhile.

How much is up to you, but hitting a parlay like that is somewhat rare to me. (I rarely play them at all)

I would hedge at least to make up what you put down and $50-77 more if you lose to Colts game.

Try to clear $250 if you win outright.

IMO only.

I agree with Jon you should hedge the bet, regardless you are a winner... good one

when this happens to me i will often tease the last play with my favorite play the next week. so u might play jax +10 1/2 and next weeks giants - 2 1/2 in miami for a 100 bucks

I would go the other way

all input would be nice

I was in a similar situation yesterday with hitting all five pick pro picks in the early NFL games. I took Marshall +5 and was covering the game until the last minute. But I took S Miss on the money line to win an extra $200. My parlay bet was $40 and it was going to bring me $1050. I should have taken S miss -3.5 for $500 and would have guaranteed myself $500. But I got greedy and wanted to hit it on both sides. It almost happened but I could have gotten an extra $300. If I was you, I would take Jacksonville on the ML which is +120 and would bet $150 to get back about $180. This way only way you would lose is if Indy wins the game by 1 or 2 points. THis is the best way especially if you think the Jaguars will win this game outright. I think it is a trap game and I really do not trust super bowl winners the following year on covering point spreads. If you do change your mind and think the jaguars will win this game, than take the jags on the ml. I may even consider betting a small amount on the Jaguars in the first half. Than you can bet on the 2nd half also. More than anything else, I would protect my parlay and least guarantee myself some money. I also have a professional handicapper that only gives me night games and he has been a consistent 90%. Later today (about 4pm western time) I will get this pick and I will share it with you. Last night he told me to take the Broncos on the ML but I could not pull the trigger but I was happy with my parlay and the hedge. You can call me at 213-923-9169 and I will share with you the info that I get on this game. I usually do not make a big money move until about an hour before game time. And this is when the serious money moves on the games. Good luck tommorrow.

thanks tab i might give ya a call on that note

tblues2005 · 10-22-07, 12:50 PM

I would hedge my bet and make sure that I won regardless, I would put $50 or $100 on the Jags tonight to make sure you won out of it.

Dead Money · 10-23-07, 04:32 AM

Hopefully you didn't give to much back.

I never hedge a parlay. It is tough enough to hit them as it is without giving some back to the book.

Anyway hopefully you cleared a decent amount.
