CrazyJoe 0 Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 from everything i've read about it, there's no way to safely hedge it at this point. Link to post Share on other sites

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks. I would just like to lock in some profit.Going to be almost impossible to lock in profit now. Think you just have to roll the dice with the Steelers now.from everything i've read about it, there's no way to safely hedge it at this point.This is true because you could lose both in the middle. You would get back your Mansion bet but I don't think the other book would be so kind. Link to post Share on other sites
scottyno 0 Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 you can probably still hedge, but you wont get as good a return because you'll have to buy the points to get the line up to -4.5 so you'll be getting a pretty bad price. You can still lock up some free money though if you want to. Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know of a book that will let you buy 3.5 points but I guess it could be somewhere. You would be looking at laying around 2 to 1 if you can find a place that will let you buy that many points.

TheSkins 0 Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 I'm in the same boat. I don't think you'll be able to buy that many points anywhere. I was 50/50 on whether or not to hedge anyway, but after the line moved that much I don't like my chances!Let's just pray! Link to post Share on other sites
boyitalia 0 Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 If you can afford it hedging is usually what everyone on here callls a negative ev play. Just go with it Link to post Share on other sites

Just go with itin a sense, but in this case you're already on a freeroll so it cant really be -ev, true though your expected return would be more if you just went with the mansion bet and didnt hedge at all, but if you can hedge it you can lock up like $450 no matter what happens.
