We're hedging.. We're betting against ARIZONA in the next game..

dont you understand?

Explain this to me...let's, for arguements sake say your unit is $100

So a half unit gets you 1200 if they win it all...exactly how are you going to hedge.

The Giants will more than likely be a 7-10 point fave, which usually comes with a price tag of -350 to -500...

So will you play the moneyline and risk a good portion of your profit should the Cards get by them....now your 1200 will be say 800, if that.

Or are you going to lay the points on the G-Men and risk a Zona cover which again takes from your profit....and on the flip side should NYG crush ZOna then your bet is over...

I confused :think2: ...and I think alot of others are as well.

ETA: you haven't thought this all the way through.

is everyone fucking stupid .. yes i understand and gl :103631605

if you understand, explain it to me.
the investment is ARIZONA TO WIN THE NFC, which means arizona beating atlanta (which they did), the giants, AND the panthers, eagles, or vikings.

how do you hedge a bet that has two stages left (divisional round AND nfc championship game) before it cashes in?

IF the cardinals defeat the giants (spoiler alert: they won't), then and ONLY then can you hedge this investment.


gyno - i would've rather you donated this money to a charity rather than donating it to your book. good luck with everything else though sir!

This is what I got:

$30 to win $720= $750

Giants/Panthers open up -500

I will then bet, $300 to win $60= $360


there will be some risk if AZ somehow wins but I doubt it.. I might even bet more against them..

Could bet $500 to win $100, but then that would make it risky.. I'm very surprised with some of the answers here.

POsted lines from thegreek...

CAR -9.5 vs ARI
NYG -12 vs ARI

I'm not sure risking that kind of ML on either of these teams to win $30 is a wise move :think2: ....but BOL regardless :103631605

Carolina ML is -435


Will probably get a better line at Matchbook.. $30 is fine for me, cause thats all I've risked thus far anyway..


My close friend followed with $200, and he is very likely going to make some coin from this, as will I.. And thats all that counts..

Sorry some of you didn't understand, there are plenty of people who actually did..

Why did you even put the AZ bet in the first place?

You should have just rooted them to win vs ATL then take PANTHERS ML.

Would have saved you $30, you get what were saying??

This is the worst hedging I have ever seen. To follow it up, OP calls everyone in the thread stupid because of his "great" idea. LOLOLOOL

wow you're stupid.

I think you're wrong here bro... if Zona wins you lose 328

So now you are down 328 and invested 30

They would be sizable dogs again next week.... so essentially you'd have to risk the same amount to win the $358 you are invested.... you don't have enough money to get that back on a ML play.

This has FAIL written all over it.... :shocked:

You better hope Carlina wins so you can make a small profit and get out of this mess you've created...If they lose you won't have a game plan next week....bank on that.

now u have to sweat wagering 330 to win 80...only to get 50 net.......all of this across different books ..and prolly at cooked odds as most ML are closer to -500 then -400..but I will give u the benefit of the doubt cuz ur a bright guy.


this has to be the the most frikken half baked retarded idea thought up and posted.

this is going to be a legendary hall of fame thread brought back to life forever and all but ensures a close game between ariz and car

Why didn't you just take ZONA ML in the 1st Game...

Then go from there, if you were so sure they weren't going to win in round 2.

Just hope CAR wins and you get lucky to get outta this mess you started.
