$170 6 teamer to win $9050. Bases and hoops.  Last leg is Zags -14. Do I take a chance and see if I can middle it live?

I would do 4K on UCLA personally but depends on how much the money means to you 

Unless UCLA goes up 6-10 points midway thru 1st half, you’ll see at least 14 again live. Zags jump out 10 and you’ll get a -20 line. I’ve been where you are. It’s a heart pounding rush. Depending on your financial situation, you could even buy out and take $4500. I’d personally hope to grab -20, or even more depending on how impressive ZAGS are 1st 10-15 minutes, for 20%-30%  of potential win just so I could live with the result either way...and the middle would be icing on the cake. 

I’ve got $200 on zags so I’ll be rooting for you either way!

Maybe I’ll do $2500 and try to see if I can get UCLA +18-20 live for a nice shot at a middle. Can’t decide. I think Zags roll but Mick Cronin screwed me many times when he was at Cincy. Giving up a 20 point lead several years back to Nevada with less than 10 mins to go. That hurt. 

Just make sure you do something. Going 5-1 and losing $ always hurts...especially if it’s the last leg. I’ve felt the ‘what if” pit in my stomach so many friggin times when it’s the 2nd or 3rd leg. Last legs I always hedge....and even then it sucks when it turns out I didn’t need to!

I guess this is why we gamble ??

I’m guessing with the bastard number of $170 your account isn’t loaded and you’re going for the big score? Or maybe you did some straight wagers, 2 and 3 teasers, and them put all plays together for 6 hoping for that lucky day?

It’s actually 169.17 on the parlay. I played them each except Zags for good amount. Already pulled in a good amount from each game. I don’t normally post but this place is dead lately and wanted to see everyone’s thoughts on UCLA. I’m struggling with this game but I just don’t think UCLA is that good at the end of he day. 

UCLA has been lucky...but they did earn some of it. If Alabama or Michigan, either of them, shoots 50% from the FT line, UCLA isn’t playing today. Gonzaga is obviously a freight train. But...I can’t get over the fact that had Bama or Mich advanced as they should, the line would be more like 8-10...IMO

i share your dilemma. No way I’m stepping in front of that Gonzaga train...but I still worry about 14. Just close your eyes and remember the USC beat down...and USC beat UCLA twice

And...since you already won straight up on 5 games, and Gonzaga has you concerned, definitely hedge! Worst case is you go 6-0 on straight wagers and take a percentage of 9K....OR..you go 5-1 and cash a 9K ticket...with a chance to go 6-0 with the middle and still cash the 9K!

good luck whatever you do. Having Gonzaga is not the worst thing that could happen to close out a parlay. I’ll be pulling for you. Just make sure you do what it takes to enjoy the ride!

I know I am late- hedge for $3300.00 if possible and don't look back!
