"There are two live 12-team parlays that, at 3,000-to-1 odds, could turn a pair of $25 wagers into $75,000 paydays tonight at the MGM. It's all up to Washington, a 7.5-point home underdog to the Seattle Seahawks on "Monday Night Football" (8:30 p.m., ESPN)."We've also got four eight-teamers live as well," MGM vice president of race and sports Jay Rood told ESPN. "All of them need the Redskins. We've got some bullets to dodge."
The eight-teamers range from $40 to $70 and pay 190-to-1, Rood said. The MGM sports book handles the largest percentage of betting action in the Nevada market and has certainly faced larger liabilities than tonight's, but it's still a fun ending to an awesome week of football."

I would try to find a way to hedge the shit out of that if I bet 25 to win 75000 and needed the last leg.

The guys with these tickets are at the bar enjoying the big win. No way they don't hedge! Anyone and I mean ANYONE in this FORUM WOULD HEDGE! That's the LOCK of all LOCKS! I beg someone to tell me they wouldn't hedge

 

[TheFalls]

I'm winning 30 dimes no matter what in this position.
30. In my bank account.

I'm not gonna say the MGM doesn't give a sh_t if those parlays hit because those greedy bastards want every penny they can get. Even if they have to pay out 75k for both parlays, it's not even a drop in the bucket for all the money that goes through that place.

might even be worth buying a hook or full point on Seattle depending on what they have the Redskins at on the parlay card...

 

[cutacrossshorty]

I wouldn't hedge, but that's because I never would've put a Monday game on the ticket. My parlay would've been an 11 teamer and that ticket would've already been cashed. Making it a 12 teamer and hedging just needlessly gives back some juice.

maybe even buy a point to make it a great middle. you will make a little less but, heck its a 25$ investment

Another thing to consider... It's not likely that someone playing a $25 12 team parlay has the tens of thousands at their disposal to hedge. If that's the case, there are ways to get that kind of cash on such short notice, but it would probably cost more than an additional 10% juice.

Some big money on wash...
5 dimes down +6/5
pinny+6.5
heritage+6--THEN BACK UP T0 7

No doubt but , No doubt you find a Rich Business Man to help you with the funds

Wherever they get the money from, it's more likely than not that the money source will want something for their "efforts". I know it requires a little foresight, but the best strategy was to leave the game out of the parlay, cash the 11 teamer, and not have to deal with the dilemma (where they'll probably end up with less than a winning 11 teamer).

 

[rolltide]

wonder if they'll move to -6.5 and open themselves up to these guys snagging a 6-figure middle? popcorn-eatinggif

 

[chenasty]

Question, how do you hedge if you don't have the captal? Are you just f'd?
