Ok so not a true hedge but more of a way to protect the investment...

Leave It! It&#x27;s Not that much of a substantial amount to even consider hedging as far as I&#x27;m concerned.You put that play in quite sometime ago I&#x27;m sure and you rode it out and in a great position right now.Sure you can hedge and take the 3.5 and possibly win both but Why?why be on pins and needles all game long? Sit back and watch the game and root your Saints on because again...You are in a great position to cash that ticket in it&#x27;s entirety and not just partially and best of all....You just have to win!

Take $525 and hit the Rams ML.

^^ if you truly want to hedge it, that&#x27;s what I&#x27;d do. I also agree with justliketoplay though... it&#x27;s not a massive chunk of change you have down and you&#x27;re likely on the right side. Either way you go, you&#x27;re in a good position to hedge because the Rams are the dogs so you can actually put down less money to win the same amount printed on your original ticket. GLTY whatever you do and congratulations.

1) Cap the game. If you think you have a winner...... stand pat

2) if ur playing w scared money or money you really don't have:

A) (if u still like the Saints) $700 Rams +155

Saints win ur still not happy +$402/+$385

B) (if u like the Rams) $1050 on the Rams +155

+$560/$0

You could person around to change the numbers to collect no matter what

C) try for a middle $950 Rams +3.5 -110

+$2,000 or $0

A/B give you free ammo to play around if ur budget is tight.

I'm sure some numbers crunchers will chime in with better ideas

Take the Rams &#x2B;points for however much you want to secure and hope for a middle.Hedging is 100% a -EV long term plan, but in cases when your payout exceeds what you might normally be wagering, no shame in locking in some profit.
