Hedging help - Vandy vs Houston

[deryckp]

OK -
been a great bowl season so far. lots of recent upsets. does Houston do it also?
I have 2 parlays still going
a 4 team with Vandy-3 to win $700
and an 8-team with Vandy-3 to win $3800

do I hedge my parlays with some Houston money? and if so - how much?
first time I might actually hit a BIG parlay...

thanks for the help
:think2:

Are you already home in the other 7 legs of the big parlay? If so you should hedge at least some if you can get it somewhere at a decent vig. I think vandy rolls them anyways. Good luck and just hope you don't get middled since the line is against your hedge

can't hurt if vandy is last leg of both parlays,,, potential for 4500,, bet 500 or 1000 on Houston,, oooorrrr just let it ride,, like vandy myself, but I don't have the parlay issue to deal with.,,,, so bol

 

[deryckp]

yes - Vandy is the last leg of my parlays...
thinking of buying up to Houston +3 to guarantee some sort of money...

I would take out at least a +3 hedge betting to win back the original amounts wagered on the parlays, should they not come in.

What were your original two parlay wager amounts?

Houston is 10-2 against the spread this season. Also of note, the Cougars didn't beat a ranked team all season losing both to Louisville and Central Florida.

Vanderbilt will be starting a freshman quarterback (488 yards passing/2 tds, 3 ints with 177 run yards) today. The Doars did beat Georgia, Florida and Tennessee for key wins. They had their starter at QB during those games.

Flip a coin in my opinion. :think2:

The backup was in against FL and went 6 of 12 passing. All his yards came against that shaky A&M defense

I would definitely buy up to win at least a sweet $600 or $700 on Houston(+3), and still be looking to be very satisfied with a huge payout on a Vanderbilt cover or push.

thanks guys!
ive got $25 on the BIG parlay and $50 on the 4-teamer.

going to put $2000 on Houston+3 to guarantee some money.

hope Vandy pulls it off for a bigger pay day but should be a good game either way
