    How would you hedge this???

    I placed a 25-1 parlay at the start of the season picking NFL Division Winners. I chose, Broncos, Patriots, Colts, Seahawks, Eagles, Saints and Bengals.

    Now I still need the Seahawks, Eagles, Saints and Bengals to come through for me, however, they all seem like having a good chance to except for the Bengals. The Bengals, Ravens, and Steelers are all listed at +180 to win the division.

    I'm thinking about waiting until after this week to get a better picture of everything. How would you handle this?

    The AFC North is the tricky one with Cincy, Cleve, Bal, and Pitt. The only thing separating the Bengals right now is their one tie. Other than Cleveland being down only one game, it's pretty damn close to a 4 way tie for them. Pitt has the tiebreaker because they have the better conference record for now. Pitt +180 might be good only because of their conference record, so if it went down to the wire ... it'd be them with the tiebreaker.

    I hope this helps

    Just let it ride... if you are gonna hedge wait tanother week or two to see how the AFC North pans out.... too much could happen right now in that division, youll get a better read in a week or two, and you may even be able to ride out your bet

    Yea I definitely think I should wait another week or 2. This should come down to the last week.

    How much did you place on the wager?

    That's a variable that needs to be explained if you are going to ask us if you should hedge.

    if you think the eagles don't win that division, take dallas ml this week. and really, saint's need to beat falcons to win that division, so take falcons ml next week when they play the saints, and zona plays seahawks next week too so bet accordingly.

    if the futures are still available [ in different pay out - I understand ] then buy in and go against some of ur pick and parley them again and if not [ they are not available to u ] then just try to get a individual divisional winners - straight bets !! If the futures are not available any more than u pray for the rain !!

    It is very hard to hedge a futures - because of the value that u will not get again so pick individually divisional winners against ur self and hope that u hit at least hit them [ individual div. winners ] even lil money is money !! Or try to parley only 2-3 of them !!

    Why hedge futures? Has something changed with your teams that you hate them now? Just fade them then.
