Looking for advice

[Bdav11]

I have a 3 teamer with everything done except BYU -7. I bet 410.00 to win 2500.00. Should I put some on Utah to guarantee some units tonight? I figure I could put 11 units to win 10 on Utah to make sure I win at least 6 units total. If I do nothing, I will be up 25 units. Any advice? Thanks

i would at least hedge to make back some money...i mean in gambling nothing is 100% and now you have found a win/win situation....however do what you think is best

 

[^BIGBUD^]

cover your 400 on Utah and make it a non loser and possibly a winnaH! I am on BYU my self and think they cover but you my friend got it easy!

i don't know of anyone who has free money laying around but that is what you have here. people argue this all day long on how you should let it ride. i think it is foolish. yea it may hit but if it doesn't you gave away something. lay 1200 on utah and sleep easy knowing you have extra cabbage when you wake uo tomorrow.

I would do the same thing. Take the sure money.

I have BYU covering the number but if was me I would lay 440 on Utah to win your money you put up for the parlay it's just like taking insurance

 

[johnnyb.]

concur with boiler & never! congrats...

 

[mansa_musa]

I'm with neverteaseit on this! Bet $1320 and root for BYU to get you the bigger piece of the pie! $1180 one way or $790 the other! I hope my math is right??

could let it ride out the first half of the game, then if u dont like what u are seeing, could possibly get a line to buy some back on the 2H :shrug:

nice problem to have lol

I am in the same situation riding a 3 game parlay 5 units to win just under 5 units:

Air Force ML

N. Illinois ML

BYU ML


I cant decide because the BYU money line seems pretty strong at home...
:help:

Why not take Utah and the points and have a chance to win both? At least cover your bet.:shrug:

 

[neverteaseit]

sanks your situaton is the same except with a chance to piggy here. throw some cabbage on utah + the points and you got a winner either way or maybe even a fat pig to boot.

one thing you all seem to forget is that this shit aint easy. take money when it is available always buy back when you can, hedge when possible look for opportunities to take a profit not a loss.

 

[neverteaseit]

hell let me buy all your guys tickets and i will go to bed with a hard on knowing i made free money. you are both foolish imo to not put at least half your winnings available on the other side.

 

[SANKS]

Good call i put some on Utah with the points, i will make about the same on the night if Utah wins or BYU wins straight up and if BYU wins by less the 7 ill be wiping my ass with twenties...:flush:

 

[KsYaS]

I usually cover my parlay to have a winning night for sure, less money, but less stress!

I LOVE BYU TONIGHT!

 

[bjfinste]

Sanks- Taking Utah plus the points would be a no-brainer to me with the middle shot and knowing you can't lose. That's what I'd do.

Bdav- I would at least cover the $410 investment so you don't lose. As others have said, there is seldom free money in this game and you have a chance to at least guarantee that you don't lose anything.

Good luck to both of you...

Thanks for the help everyone, good luck

Thanks for the advice. I bet Utah for 5 units to win at least my bet back and went to sleep. I awoke with free money. Thanks again
