    Default to hedge or not to hedge?

    I got a 7 team parlay going. risked .25U to win 6U and some change
    5 have hit
    1 pushed
    Last leg Giants ML.

    I have no idea what the payout is now that 1 leg pushed.
    me no math pro
    San Diego -5 -110
    Colts -14 -117
    Packer ML-400
    Steelers ML -270
    Texans -3 -110 ( pushed)
    Jets -6 -110
    Giants -305

    hedge:
    Cardinals +275

    any mathmaticians care to help out?

    Mike if the Giants are losing at halftime by less than 10 points the 2nd half line will be 1/2 point or more in favor of Giants.

    Well smart players hedge, I'm not a smart player though, ride it out, great parlay by the way, all were very solid plays.

    Personally I'd lay down like a unit or maybe even half a unit on the Cards just so ya make money regardless, but I think you'll be okay either way.

    Good luck w/ whatever you decide to do!

    well your.25U will win 3.59U if ya hit if you bet one unit on the Cards you will actually win more at +275 but thats your call but I would do it if im going to get 2.5 to 2.7 to 1 everyday of the week!

    You win more with the cards becasue 1 unit minus the 3.59 is 2.59... just incase that didnt make sense
