One away from a open ended 8 team parlay. Should I

[thesource]

just play a big money line favorite and hedge plus the points on the other side and hope for a middle? I won't get as big a payoff (80 to 1 if I played a regular play) but at least I'll get at least 40 or 50 to 1 with one of the big favorite ML play.

I would... always hedge if you can. Lost many times not hedging. Could buy points too

thanks. Any one have a strong play???

Wait for Willie and Fieldgoalz to post plays.

I would use money lines, pick a sport and use the favorite in the 8 teamer. Then use the dog as your hedge. ex: use -200 for parlay play it wont pay quiet as much as say a -110 however the dog should be somewhere around a + 175 so your hedge exposure can be less. just my two cents.

Good suggestion facenace. I took your advice and added Kansas as a ML play. That brought my 8 teamer down to 45 to 1. I then took the other side TT at +1000. Put 45 on then to win 450. My parlay will pay 10 to win 450. I'll win either way. Not as much as if I went for it at 80 to 1. But better safe then sorry..

Better safe then sorry is right! I would've told u Hoosiers ML for a better payout...but don't ever get greedy....it'll bite u in the arse.

If I could I would quote this a million times...ALWAYS HEDGE...the only reason people do NOT ever hedge is out of GREED. Be smart...ur in this to make $$$. Make your money

Hedge is the way to go

Yep. Its always nice to know you have a sure winner in your pocket. I havent posted in a while but been doing a lot better than when I was in here. I played a 2 team ML parlay.
