I have the last of a three team parlay with Clemson +7 tonight. Risking $300 to win $1,800. Would you hedge with Bama ML or just let it ride?

you are in a tough spot. hedging using the money line is too expensive at -240. the best thing to do would be to place an in-game bet if clemson gets the lead (and you have access to live betting). depending on how big of a lead you might be able to get alabama at close to a pick em or near even on the money line. but then again if clemson gets the lead it makes one not want to hedge in the first place.

I'd hedge it, but that's just me. Ultra-conservative.

Congrats at making it this far!

If you have plenty money, let it ride. If not, take the smart approach and hedge. If you think Alabama is going to win straight up, then take the ML and chance to hit both bets. If not, play Bama -6 (still available some places), and possibly tie one of the lines, and if not, you will win guaranteed money...

actually after some more thought you could take alabama at -6.5. if alabama wins by 7 then you win your hedge bet as well as hitting your now two teamer.

I do have access to live betting, can see how that plays out. Initial thought was to put a little on bama ML and hope it's a close game to hit both.

Thanks for feedback everyone!

Is this a POP Quiz??? You don't want to hear what I would do, I never tell the gal I brought to the dance "sit down, I want to dance with that gal over there." That being said, 5Ho's has Bama -7 @ +110, you want to guarantee some pocket change, put six bills on that, real simple proposition. You're guaranteed to win three bills, twelve bills if the Tigers cover. Take it further if ya want the guaranteed $$ to increase.

Let it ride. You're getting Clemson +7 +600.
