Justin7, et al... How would you approach this hedge?

pavyracer · 10-17-10, 06:48 PM

Wait until HT and see if you need to hedge it then for a 2H bet depending on the line.

iifold · 10-17-10, 06:49 PM

Wait..

You can always get out of the Colts at halftime if you don't like what you see..

Joe Sharp · 10-17-10, 06:59 PM

Solid advice from 2 solid posters within 60 seconds of each other.... Thanks - I appreciate your input!

Joe Sharp · 10-17-10, 07:02 PM

Anyone know what the payout will be. It'll less than $617 obviously... just not sure what the odds decrease to.

acarmelo1 · 10-17-10, 07:05 PM

around 300

Iwinyourmoney · 10-17-10, 07:06 PM

297.90

Or 297.00 if u play at rebatewager. Haha

Joe Sharp · 10-17-10, 07:08 PM

Haha... Nice. Thanks boys.

acarmelo1 · 10-17-10, 07:13 PM

actually rebatewager odds for 3 team parlays are +500 so it will pay you at rebate wagers around 250

OMGRandyJackson · 10-17-10, 07:16 PM

Just curious, did you take a picture of your computer screen with an actual camera?

Precisely. No hedge required, presumably.

With my Cell - It's easier to upload (at least for me).

Thats what I was getting at lol. Use screen shot dude!

Joe Sharp · 10-17-10, 07:36 PM

I have a app on my Droid that i've gotten used to. I'll attempt the screen shot!

StraightWinners · 10-17-10, 07:37 PM

I think Washington +3 is the play, so i cant give good advice, but if you are more comfortable then do what they say at halftime and hedge then.

mathdotcom · 10-17-10, 07:41 PM

Don't hedge it

If you're going to hedge why the fukk are you betting the last leg of the parlay?

Joe Sharp · 10-17-10, 08:05 PM

Thanks for your input Straight - Game started... Gotta ride it out!

Math - I realize that in the long term it would be more beneficial to ride the parlay out so I don’t lose the edge i've gained by increasing my odds. But i'm not sure I understand what you mean in regards to 'betting the last leg'. Since I expect to win that bet more than 50% of the time I should "never" hedge on a parlay?

Washington +4 was even better

Justin7 · 10-17-10, 09:02 PM

A different question: why are you betting so much on a 4-team parlay that you need to hedge?

Joe Sharp · 10-17-10, 09:35 PM

Up big on the week & That's the minimum for this particular local.

pavyracer · 10-17-10, 09:43 PM

Looking good. I'm glad you didn't hedge.

Joe Sharp · 10-17-10, 09:48 PM

Thanks Pavy. This would cap off a GREAT week.

mathdotcom · 10-17-10, 09:49 PM

The guy hedged it for sure

Joe Sharp · 10-17-10, 09:52 PM

Nope. I did not hedge it.... but Indy just fumbled on the 10. NICE! ha.

Joe Sharp · 10-17-10, 10:17 PM

92 yards in 12 plays... Thanks Colts D. The writing was on the wall.

RollPlayer · 10-17-10, 11:50 PM

Your four teamer turned into a two teamer, but hey, a win is a win

PRC · 10-17-10, 11:56 PM

Shoulda hedged.

acarmelo1 · 10-17-10, 11:56 PM

yup

Joe Sharp · 10-18-10, 07:25 AM

Yeah... I essentially won a 2 teamer after 2 pushed. Won money on it regardless. The unfortunete part is that I did get 3.5 from my local right before gametime... could've won money on both ends. But i've done a bit of research and crunched some #'s. In the long run it's really not worth hedging parlays. Might as well not play them at all and play each game straight. No earth shattering findings there....

Hope everyone had a profitable weekend!
