Hedge or not to Hedge - Lookin for input

[Desbo3]

Just have Dallas left in a teaser (-1.5) and I'd cash in my $500 to win $450 ticket. Should I hedge with Detroit straight up? It's currently at +210... Only way I'd lost is if Dallas won by 1.

Thoughts?

You have the perfect scenario in my opinion. Its called risk management and I would do this any chance I get. A simple bet on Detroit moneyline guarantees you a winning proposition. You just win less but have zero risk!
Now if it is strictly about gambling, then I would hold where you are. If it's about winning money, which is what it is to me, I would bet Detroit moneyline and guarantee myself a winner before the game starts. Just a difference of opinion.

I'm favoring Dallas, coming into the playoffs on a win streak and scoring at will.

Detroits front 4 scares me a little on turf.

Ultimately if Romo and Murray are "MVP Candidates", competing with Rogers.. They need to show up today and I see that happening.

Hedge. Always good to bank something it's hard enough to get winners in this business

I was initially thinking the same thing, but should I take Detroit ML +220 (now) or Detroit +7.5 -140?

Like I mentioned before, only way I lose if I take Detroit ML is if Dallas wins by 1 point.. Otherwise, I could technically win both if I took Detroit +7.5 and Dallas wins by 2-6 points.

To complete the thought if you hedge take the Lions +6. You don't want to run the risk albeit a small one with a Cowboy one point win

I'm takin the points to guarantee a a payout... and a potential double payout.
