For 10 bucks? Of course you should. If you hedge for half you've hit a 50-1 winner, simple as that.

And if you do hedge, always stand to win more if your original selection does win, feels much better.

Titans led all day - Raiders on the other hand.......... WOW...

I had that game Under 50 to win another 1k but it also contained NE -9.5 which they blew in the 4th quarter. Had that game hit as well, I would've sent the Raiders a gift basket.

Most of the time I'd say yeah, hedge it.  But I just don't see any way on this earth that the Bears don't take care of the Lions on MNF. 

If you're going to hedge, I'd hedge a little and leave yourself more meat on the Bears if it hits.

Good luck!

That's how I feel - thinking off the bye week there is no way the Bears lose to the mistake prone Lions. But hey, crazier things have happened. Thinking of $100 on the Lions +7 so I could potentially win both? Ehh... I hate hedging!!!!

Best way to hedge this is...
Risk $200 on lions moneyline. Then bet to win $200 on lions spread....

Tak the Lions + 7 , you have a 7 point middle and with a little luck you could win the both.

Put $500 on Detroit at +230 or whatever it is. They win, you win $1150 -$10 from the parlay and you have $1140. If The Bears win, you lose $500 and finish up $758 from the parlay. Gauranteed at LEAST $758. No brainer.

If you ask me your parlay bet is all wrong its not smart. you money line most of the team. had you've taken new england out and houston out and raiders and the bears. that would have brought you down to a p10. you would of won more and risk only 10 teams and not 14. as 4 the bears your good already. if your going to hedge it don't bet detroit ML. bet them taking the points and bet like 300.  bears will win this one. but you would hope that they dont cover and you win everything.

He's right. You're an idiot, lol. He hit the NE bet so saying he should take it out makes no sense. And whatever "numbers" you think you know, the added NE bet increased the payout b/c parlays pay out exponentially as well so the large money line is worth adding in. I had a 6 team parlay and also added in the NE money line just to increase the payout b/c I figured it was a lock. Not to mention, for him, it was a tiny $10 bet for fun. No one expects to hit a 14 team parlay.
