    If you're betting on 5 Dimes you can also bet some good 2H lines when a team is up a good amount. A few days back Portland was up 18 at half and you could of bet +18 for the half for -2500 odds or something.

    Obviously comebacks can happen as they did last night with the Grizzlies with the Warriors. Even still I've used them to advance open parlay's that are 70% of the way home but only take that with teams I would trust, definitely not the Warriors.

    Just option for you ...

    Open parlays should never be "serious", even the guy who hit the big one said it was just for fun and done every now and then. If I remember correctly, he did not hedge even his final bet. If you're able to string wins, then like I said make straight bets and let it ride. When you get to the limits, stop, pocket the cash, and start again. I'm 100% sure you will have better results doing that.

    First of all nice job
    Now why wouldnt you just bet $330 on your hometown nba game paying -110 and hedging the visiting team with your parlay

    If your team with the parlay wins you get paid $780 plus whatever the total payout of adding the -110 game - which should be alot more than $780

    If your hedge bet hits you win $300 from your $330

    No matter what your going to win $285 ($300 - initial investment of $15) or win $780+

    Agreed. No reason not to hedge on the final play of a parlay especially on a hockey game like that that's no where near as certain as other sports / games.
