    Hedging this 18 teamer? Help.

    Amazingly been losing my straight plays left and right but a ridiculous $5 to $500 18 parlay is down to Andy Murray -4000. Gael Monfils -730 and Nadal -1400. Got these lines days ago. Do I let it ride? Thanks in advance.

    Unless you think Monfils can lose just ride that sucker out for 100-1.

    i wouldnt hedge. unless your unit size is like $25. then i would get $100 back. if you are at 5dimes and could get monfils opponent like -1.5 sets +1500 then id throw a unit on that

    Good advice. Thanks guys. Slightly worried about Monfils. If Nadal or Murray loses that'd be funny.

    Had a lot of spreads and a few + money picks earlier this week. The last 5 picks were all heavy tennis faves. Del Potro -360. Tursunov -650. And these last 3.

    Saints +8.5. Chargers/broncos U , Pats -7.5. Some nba games last week. Several road dogs in hockey. 2 -1.5 puck lines. Several -200/-250 MLs has brought me here to this point.

    ill tell you what to do

    shine up your computer screen real nice

    click on your sportsbook account

    put lube on the outer edges of monitor, and shove it straight up your ass.

    you want to hedge this with those lines? they are raping you anyway...go finish it for them

    Ride it out. Low risk high reward. And the remaining picks should easily win. If they were heavy wta favs, maybe hedge very small

    just out of curiosity, why monfils? you could have added a few other gueys like joker, del potro, etc. instead of his single spot who have a much slimmer chance of losing to get the same payout

    anyway id think letting it ride is a no brainer

    Hedging would be the dumbest thing you could ever do on a bet like this

    Monfils playing well

    If he loses you deserve to lose

    Yeah. This was kind of for shits and gigs. Del Potro -360 was in this parlay. Made these plays days ago or I may do things differently. Thanks for the advice guys. Much appreciated. I agree JJ Monfils loses I deserve to lose.
