Pacers & Hawaii "1/4 My Entire Account Play"

[hello there]

2-1 (+9 units)

Risk $650 to win $500

2 team 5 pt teaser:
Pacers -2 & Hawaii +4

Wiz without Hamilton going into Pacer land, too much to overcome, bet because of the Jordan factor, I teased this!!

Fresno st if without Ely going into Hawaii...... Hawaii just needs to play solid ball and they should win outright, IF Ely does play, this game is probably going down to the wire and the +4 will be huge.

 

[hello there]

THE TRAIN IS LEAVING FOR THE BANK, WHO'S JUMPING ON IT WITH ME?!?!?!??

 

[hello there]

Pacers are blasting the Wizards late in the 4th quarter, looks like we got the first half of the teaser over with, now we just need Hawaii +4 on the tease to come through for the big winner!!!!!! The train is half way to the bank baby!!!!!!!

If you win the first half of your teaser before your second game goes off and provided the line stays the same, why don't you hedge your second game and create a nice middle for yourself?

 

[hello there]

How do I do that and how much do I put on which team?? I don't think it would work out for this teaser. Fresno is only +105 on the moneyline. If Hawaii was -5 or -6 pt favs and I used the teaser to make the game even or almost even(pk) and Fresno was like +190 moneyline, then it might have been worth a shot to hedge. Hope I'm not mistaken, if I'm wrong feel free to comment.

Go HAWAII!!!

if you want to hedge you take fresno+1 1/2 the pts for half of the $500 this gives you a chance to hit fresno+ 1 1/2 and hawaii + 4 and if fresno covers the tease you won't lose as much

oh okay, i see now...so you're saying that I won't lose as much if fresno state wins, even though I might not win as much if I do win. I guess you can look at that in a plus or negative way, however, another thing good about it is if Fresno state wins by 2 or 3 pts, then I can make the amount I was hoping to win in the first place, plus whatever amount I put on fresno to hedge. Hhhmm, interesting.

....but I thought about it and decided to just stick with my play. thanks for the info guys!!!!

I think you're totally off your rocker....er, I thought you were totally off your rocker. Re-evaluating, perhaps mad genius. If you keep winning, people will have to refer to you as a charming eccentric.

I thought that first post you made a couple a weeks ago was totally whacked on the amount. I had the same sides, but was ashamed to speak up.

I do admire your guts and enthusiasm, as well as your capping skills. Get on the train, or get outta da way!

One question: When you say you're betting a quarter of your account, that's not a quarter of your original account, but updated dollars after each of your wagers, right? If so, then the latest wagers are larger than the ones a couple of weeks ago.
Your next quarter play loser will eat up more than one of the earlier plays. (There will be a loser, I don't mean to be negative, it's just fact) Just something to consider. You've done fine w/o me so far, keep it goin

<"One question: When you say you're betting a quarter of your account, that's not a quarter of your original account, but updated dollars after each of your wagers, right?">

Yes.

NOte: It's not exactly 1/4 down to the exact scent, but approx. The 1/4 is how much I will win, but if I lose, i actually lose more than 1/4 of my total current account because of the juice factor.

<"If so, then the latest wagers are larger than the ones a couple of weeks ago.

Yes, you're right, I don't play 1/4 my account everytime, my next play is only 1/6 of my account which is less than what this play was. I currently have 1/6 or (4 unit) play on a moneyline parlay on Georgia, rams, and packers which I posted in the ncaa football board.
