hey guys,

I need the following teams to win to finish off a $15 to win $16585 parlay:

Lions ML
Broncos ML
Colts ML
Panthers ML 

I'm considering just making tons of parlay combinations and hoping for the best, in conjunction with live betting offered for the panthers/broncos games. Anyone have any advice? Thanks and BOL on your Sunday wagers!

what a situation to be in my man..  I am on the broncos ML large but none of the others(still like the picks).

I would take the opposing opponents ML in mixed orders for $1000 each

What kind of bankroll do you have to hedge with?

I would hedge immediately by betting at least $100 on CINCY ML.  I like DET and CAR to win, but think INDY and DEN lose. It would be a nice hit if you can pull it off.  I wish you luck!

lol I don't have the capital man. my bankroll is 2.5k at the moment. I guess I could use my credit card to deposit more but it seems a bit risky. Thanks for the response man and hopefully the broncos pull it out for both of us!

I really like the broncos/lions (which might be a bad sign lol) but I'm pretty sure either the colts or panthers will mess it up for me.

$15 and all 4 games starting at the same time, I don't know if there is really a good way to hedge here.

Taking any of the previous advice and you could take a bloodbath instead of only losing $15

Too bad you didn't have a later game along with the night game, then if you made it that far you could hedge. With 4 early games there are so many different ways it could go.

I don't even see how that parlay has such a large payout. Seems a bit fishy

That is just stupid.

 

Let it ride. You can't hedge that bet and guarantee a profit so don't do it. Especially with such a low bankroll.

maybe make a 13 pt teaser for a few hundred?..... its hard to hedge with 4 teams yet to play and especially when you only are risking $15.
if it was me, i would just sit tight, or pick one game you are the most shaky on and bet the opposite team for a hundred or so.. good luck to you, hope you hit it.

If you hedged a 4 team, you likely would barely break even. Gluck

Not trying to be rude, but damn I hate these hedge threads. There's absolutely no way to hedge in this situation, unless your ultimate goal is to get your original bet amount of $15 back....if so then you could do a 4 team rr parlay on the opposite sides.  But thats just silly considering your original parlay payout is $16.5K.  I hope you win man, but hedging is out of the question

guys I gotta be proactive about this, not hedging at all doesn't feel right lol. 

I'm considering something like this:

Bengals +5.5 -150
Miami -130 or Indy +110, not sure yet. 
panthers +3
lions -250
Ferrer -235

in a round robin, 5 parlays of 4 teams. each parlay is $100. if the entire thing wins, it'll be $500 for $2988.18.

 The parlay is probably a 4-teamer, and NO games have been played yet.  Also, the high potential payout for a measly $15 wager is because he is taking the 4 biggest ML dogs to each win by at least 3 touchdowns.

I posted the parlay already. The college games and tennis games have already been played, just four left.

why would you even contemplate hedging with 4 teams left on a huge parlay for only 15 dollars. Just ride it out man. Gambling is gambling. I wish you the best of luck but why worry about 15 dollars.

There is NO way that parlay with those odds pays that much
