I don't understand the word hedge.. Maybe in the stock market,, or some foreclosed house you picked up for cheap when the taxes are also cheap lol

i would not do anything you are in a great position. you have 20 against a dealers 6 right now, sure the dealer can pull of a 21 and beat you but it is unlikely.

I usually see it this way as well Professional1 but I have been on a shitty run the last two weeks and I got screwed by the Jets when the Falcons got beat a few weeks back not hedging a parlay that was on its last leg needing a Str8 up Falcons ML win lucky I was able to get a good live bet odds when the Falcons took the lead with 2 mins left cause I knew there defense would lose the game. Thanks for the advice and BOL tonight

Just a side note tho when doing parlays bud. Odds are already against you when you do them. If you look above at your plays all those teams that won, covered the spread as well. your parlay would have paid like 10G instead. Or you could risk less. In the NFL the team that wins, (the spread doesn't come into play)  at a very high rate. just a side note. GL to us tonight

spread only affected 2 out of 12 games this week.

Other 10 games, teams that won either covered or didn't need the points.

Those 2 games were Browns and Dallas covering as dogs. Other 10 games spread didn't matter

If you want to maximize your long-term profits, do NOT hedge.

If you DO hedge, ask yourself why you put that late leg on the card in the first place.

Hedging comes at a price.  YOU have to pay that price.

You will make more money in a short period of time if you do not hedge.

  Probably because they haven't yet realized if they hedge they cost themselves long-term profit, I guess.

My only thing about hedging is why add the final leg if your just going to hedge it anyway

Wise words 


Unless you really need that money to stay alive or something has come up to make you ,  I would let it ride.


Seahawks ML ~+200 is what you have. Basically.
