    Parlay Question-need some advice

    hi guys- really quickly i was in a knock out pool that had a 45000 pot. i was one of 11 people left going into sundays games (of course the Texans screwed me-but thats besides the point) as a hedge (and somewhat of a gamble) i placed two parlays: Parlay A was a two teamer: 1000 dollars on the JAX at +385 with an open spot not yet filled! i have 90 days to close out the second leg of this parlay (Heritage lets you do this) and Parlay B was a four teamer with SD +160 and TB +305 already hitting with TWO open spots (once again at heritage) left to fill in the next 90 days. Just lookn for some good advice to secure some cash here- i have an idea of what to do but i wanna see what the forum has to say !!!!

    are you looking for an advice from a bunch of strangers on how to lock your winnings?... why?

    all you gonna get is bunch of responses with sure bets ranging from -110 to -5000...all will be claiming to be a total lock.

    you got yourself this far with a few good calls in these parlays...finish them like a man.

    if you miss your calls at least those are going to be your own calls and not some joe schmo's from a gambling forum that you just happened to trust with closing out your parlays.

    gl!

    I would take some Heavy Favorites to close out those open parlays. You have some good dogs that scored, wouldn't get greedy. GL.

    the way i would handle the two separate parlays would be to bet a +200 dog on the 4 teamer with the opposite side of the game on the open portion of the two teamer (hoping the dog wins outright): the subsequent two teamer would be a loss and now ive got a one more leg of the 4 teamer which if it hits wcould pay out close to 25 dimes. if not than id bank close to 7 dimes on the two teamer if the fave wins outright - i just wanted to know if any one had different angles on my take?

    Sounds like a good strategy. The fact you have 2 open parlays with dogs that scored plays to your advantage.
