just take the Bills -5.5 for like 90 bucks...if they dont cover you win the 200$ from the parlay..-90 bills +110$ profit...if they do cover you win 90 bills -10 lost parlay +80$ profit....its a free 100$ or 80$ if you play 90 on the bils...ORRRRR if you wanna get creative...you can tease the BILLS ANDDD THE JETS...bills would be basically a pick em and Jets +11.5....if you did this you could actually win BOTH

What do you mean ML? You take Buffalo -5.5 if you want to hedge.

And you dont hedge 3 team teasers.

what i would like to know is...your a ravens fan?? how do you feel about the game at cleveland...i love the browns in this spot and i wanna unload big time...maybe a little local knowledge might help me out ??? thanks

JimmyVegas · Nov 2, 2008

Game kinda scares me a little.......we seem to struggle a little on the road in cleveland.........its a no play for me........Chris McAlister is out like that has mattered the last two games.. Not really a game i would unload on but more power to you. good luck

it is not enough money to bother hedging, just enjoy and hopefully you win.

.forget the hedge on a 10 dollar bet unless its paying thousands .Your talking 10bucks your upside is much greater then your initial investment.
Unless of course tht 80-100 gain is wht your after either way it shouldn't break you good luck
