    should i hedge this or would that be a waste
    I have this parlay waiting. Should I hedge it out even though the bengals suck so much? Any advice would be appreciated

        yeah i know but like green bay last night, I just cant see pitt losing tonight. I just dont want to ruin the value in the parlay by hedging it on a team that might not have any shot at winning

          then hedge a little, put 200 on cincy straight up that would bank you almost 500 profit, if pitt wins then you profit 1700. thats what i would do and hope pitt wins if not your up 300 cuz of the 200 you put on the parlay

            Definitely hedge dude you would be crazy not to. A division game in Cinci and your getting Bengals ML at + money.

            Don't be greedy and take the guaranteed money even though I believe the Steelers win.

              Great situation to be in. You should hedge the +5.5 points on Bengals, and you'll might end up winning both plays!

                I might do this, the idea of winning both is enticing

                  But the juice on Bengals -5.5 is -110 @ my book right now and you would have to lay $220 to win $200 to cover your parlay.

                  If you played the Bengals ML which is @ +205 at my book you would only have to lay $100 to win $205.

                  I don't know why the fuk I care so much about your parlay do whatever you want

                      What about $110 to win $100 on CIN +5.5 then $100 to win $220 ML.

                      If PITT wins you're up the most obviously, so that's what you want to happen. If CIN wins you get the $220+$100 = $320 or $120 profit ($320-$200). The nice thing about playing the side is if PIT wins you can still get the extra $100 if they cover +5.5 and you'd only be paying really $80 to win $2k instead of $200 or however you want to look at it. $200 ML pays more but you are guaranteed a loss of $200 if PIT wins...obviously.

                            remeber the patriots game.. If you took cincy +5.5 and they win by 7 you will be like what the hell why i did i just not take ML. Trust me... you gonna win a grand either way.
