Unless that's your last $5.55, I let it ride.  But nothing's wrong with throwing $20-40 on the Ravens +9.  Like you said, you could middle it and win 265+, win $200+ if Zona blows them out, or you still win $20+ if the unthinkable happens and Baltimore beats them.  Nice looking parlay tho brother best of luck with whatever you choose.

Depends how much the money means to you buddy.  If it's not a big deal, let it ride.  If it is a big deal, then hedge a little and hope you middle.  Either way, it's a great ticket man.  Congrats

I'm almost in the same situation, you could also take baltimore on the money line too for like 75 to guarantee you at least 170$

Let me tell ya, sac, today I had a five teamer. I had Buf -.5 1Q, Buf/Jax O 41, NYJ +4 first half, SD/Oak Over 23.5 First half, and DALLAS ML. 

Had a chance to hedge, didn't hedge, should have hedged, wish I had hedged. 

On the other hand, earlier this year I hedged a eight teamer and I never regretted it. It's only when your account shows no progress that you realize you wish you would have hedged. Don't let the greed get ya buddy.

nice sac! what a great week 7 for you.

 if it was me i'd hedge with Baltimore +points and hope for middle. 

gotta root for my Ravens tho. +400 ML if it gets there is too hard to pass up even if the chances are like almost zero but +10 seems safer lol..
Sip on that plus money honey!

If you're smart you will hedge. If not, you won't. Unless you just want to have fun with it.

Nobody expected AZ to lose last week to Pitt... I don't understand why this is even a discussion. You have Az on the ML. Hedge with Baltimore ML at +300 or whatever it is at now. Risk whatever you need to in order to win $245. It should only be like $80. Guarantee a $150+ profit. This shouldn't even be a consideration. Any given Sunday.

Me? I'd put $45.74 on the BAL ML (currently +350) and guarantee a +$200/+155

Good call, although that last 2 minutes must have been a bit nervous!  Flacco had a look on his face near the end.  Either it was indigestion or he really wanted to mess up a lot of betting tickets.

Never will I throw more than Lunch money on such a high # parlay. But thanks, and I love Kenny Powers
