    Greed or Guaranteed
    I have a $400 3 team parlay and the last team i need is SD-3. do i hedge and take a guaranteed profit? do i get greedy and hope and pray SD does what i feel they are capable of? or do i just bet $400 on KC +3 to make sure i do not lose anything if SD does not cover? it seems like an easy decision to take guaranteed money but i risked this money with the intention of winning BIG. what would u do?

      if 400 is an amount that you can comfortably lose and move on to next parlay, then keep your balls against the wall and hope for a cover. if you feel that you are in over your head, hedge out

        I think SD covers tonight. But I would still hedge the 400

            Bet the 400 on kc. Try to get it at 3.5 or 4.

              im not worried about losing $400.00, i just feel stupid when there is guaranteed money and i dont take it.

                    thats what im thinking........u can look at it the other way too, if KC jumps out quick it could end up being a painful game to watch. if i didnt have this parlay i would prob take SD for around 300-400 anyways so i might as well let it ride. any other thoughts from anyone as to what i should do????

                      Honestly for me it would all depend how my season was going so far. If I was up big already, or this was a one time bet i'd let it ride. If however I was kind of struggling I would probably hedge and take the guaranteed money.

                          I personally have KC +3.5 but honestly KC could just come out flat. If you let it ride at least one of us would win tonight! lol

                            A lot of guys were going into Baltimore vs jax game with Baltimore the last leg.

                            Take the guaranteed profit.

                            Being + no matter what is always better.

                              Yea your prob right.......the fckd up thing about this game is I may end up putting more down on sd-3. It's usually games like this that burn me hard.......

                                  I just don't get why ppl r so high on kc. They have not beat anyone yet this year. I'm not saying sd is a lot better than them but I have never been too high on cassell and they lost their stud rb earlier in the year. IMO sd has the better qb, better rb, better receivers/te and similar D.....maybe slight edge to kc for the d but other than that sd has em beat. I know that does not always mean a W but this is a big game for sd coming off that ugly 2nd half to the jets. I can see kc coming out with bigs heads and getting run all over in their own house........but what do I know

                                      Cover the 400 with a bet on KC then pull for the Chargers to cover knowing that at the worst, you'll break even.
