too many potential winners...you have 4 already at 18 points...if Denver wins than the guy at 17 points wins it all alone...if he loses there are 8 more folks that can get to 18 points with their open game tonight but you only need to worry about 5 folks as 3 have Denver and it won't matter if Denver wins b/c the guy at 17 would win it solo.
2 guys have Miami and one has NE while 2 others have the over. That means if Denver were to lose you could split it with 8 folks or $625 per winner. You could hedge on Denver but I wouldn't to too much. You could have an if-lose bet on Denver and take the 2 overs as well for a tiny bit.
I might hedge on Denver for $250 and you will get your money back for the contest and a tiny bit as well.

If the line moved enough giving you a chance to collect on both sides, it might be worth it. Otherwise, I'd hold tight.

seaborneq · 09-12-11, 08:45 AM

I don't know what to do now, maybe a day of hard labor will move me to do something.

Check out the guy in last who is 0-8 after yesterday:
<table class="leaderboard" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2"><tbody><tr id="218404"><td>414th</td> <td>#119128</td> <td>0</td> <td>0</td> <td>8</td> <td>2</td> <td>0</td></tr></tbody></table>
He has the Dolphins +7 and Under 39 1/2 in Raiders/Broncos tonight if anyone wants to fade.

Let's see how the first game goes, Houlihans. If that one loses, then I might have to be all 'over' the second one.

Yeah closest I got one week to Biggest Loser was a couple of seasons ago - lost the first five plays that day at 1pm and was hoping the rest would tank.

Come up with a number, because I am number one in both the Carib Challenge and the Pick 10 Contest, or should I say tied for first. You sound well versed in this, what is the magic hedge number for amount and side? Thanks.

seaborneq · 09-12-11, 07:48 PM

Home after a hard day of labor. How much should I hedge? What line should I take?

seaborneq · 09-12-11, 11:58 PM

This won't end well will it?

ProfaneReality · 09-13-11, 12:03 AM

Thanks. It feels good. Now to see how many I have to share with.

ProfaneReality · 09-13-11, 12:54 AM

Times 2. I am number 1 in both contest. I'll take it.

ProfaneReality · 09-13-11, 01:22 AM

both ? you mean the weekly ? if so, doesnt work like that... an entry in the classic, gives you a free entry into the weekly contest.... there is no weekly prize for the classic.

ProfaneReality · 09-13-11, 01:24 AM

What?

ProfaneReality · 09-13-11, 01:48 AM

There is NO WEEKLY PRIZE for the classic. When you buy into the classic, your classic entry is automatically entered into the WEEKLY contest.

You will receive 1 prize.

seaborneq · 09-13-11, 01:49 AM

Pick 10 doesn't pay weekly? Let me check on that.

seaborneq · 09-13-11, 01:54 AM

Ok.

You are correct with your assessment. Carib has already paid me 714 dollars and change. Thanks for the information.

hornsrgrt · 09-13-11, 06:44 AM

did you hedge anything? if you didn't congrats (either way) on your 714...paid for your entry and $500...
I am hoping to hit a 10-0 or 0-10 somewhere along the way !
I have split the weekly prize 2 in the last 2 years which makes for a nice week !
Congrats again - great way to start the season !

Thanks Horn. Let's win some more weeks. I don't know how Carib does it. 400+entries x 200 dollars = est 90000 dollars, yet they pay a minimum of 5k per week and sometimes more for perfect 10's and 0's for 17 weeks, and then they still pay ungodly end of year payouts with a grand prize of 65k. I love it nonetheless. Good luck in the future.
