Hey I came up big on college football on saturday....big at least for me...won 14 units on a easer that I risked 2 or 3 on...anyways...I decided to play some nfl teasers as wel...three of e to be exact...two of them missed...one of them is still alive pending tonights SD game...2.5 uunits to win 7.5

I need san diego -2.5

Should I hedge with a straight wager and put Jets +8.5 just in case

to guarantee me to at least break even...who knows both could hit?

I have a 9 team parlay (mainly favorites straight up) and all I need is SD to win and I'm getting 10 units. I'm gonna let it roll. I think you are safe as well.

Say it again!

Never hedge more than your intitial investment. You should never parlay but if your going to get those shitty odds you need to run it out or the initial odds just got worse.

Bookieskatrina is dead on, never hedge more than the initial investment. I say let this one ride, i'd hate to see you turn a parlay play into damn near a straitup play (return-wise).

if it were me i would use the alt line being offered of jets +3.5 +200 at many books (betjm has it if u wanna play).

that way u can hit both at a 3 pt sd win...and if jets win u get 2 to 1 on money...i would risk about 1/10 to 1/5 of ur win amount on other play...so reguardless u are up nicely.

for example...say to win 1000 teaser pending.

risk 200 on jets +3.5 +200 so if win that u are up 400 of ur 1000 tease...and if win SD u win 800 Net (so very close to 1000 u are hoping for)..AND u have a very nice chance of hitting a fg late to hit both games for +1400


GL in what u decide
