4/5 on a $50 parlay to win $1K

San Diego St -9.5 over Air Force to close it out.

How much would you hedge on AF?

Can’t answer that with your post. Is a grand a lot for you , would it cover a car note , a mortgage?

Is it fun money ?

All relative.

Whatever they are offering, you can lock in more with a hedge.

I’ll wait until 9:20 or so.

Depending on how some other things go, I could already be up $1.1K for the week heading into the SDSU game.

$250 AF spread
$100 AF ML

$600 profit (after factoring in initial $50 bet) if SDSU covers.

$100 profit if SDSU wins by single digits.

I’m guessing probably around $500-600 profit if AF wins without knowing exact ML, just based on the spread.

ML is +375

If AF managed to win SU, it would be +575 (minus the $50) and +625 with the parlay if SDSU covers.

Probably just do something like AF +9.5 for $400/$364 so it’ll be $314 (minus $50) or $600.

I don’t think AF has a chance to win SU.

$0


If you're gonna parlay for a big payday, dont puss out and hedge. Unless something changed, hedging will always be -ev.

From a pure math perspective, hedging is a negative EV play, so it all comes to down to personal tolerances like how important that money is to you and mentally how upset would you be walking away with nothing. I’d probably hedge a little because I know I would find losing it at this point super tilting.

Well, even though the game won’t tip until 9:40, they took it off the board so it’s ride or die with -9.5.

I was only going to hedge $300/$272
