Every once in a while I feel confident on a football game and instead of placing a $550 bet I bet 11 ($50 parleys ) and put that team in all of them. Essentially turning 3 team parleys into 2 teams and 4;team parleys into 3. I did that this weekend with Nebraska. Going into last nights USC game I was up $600 with USC still open in a 4 teamer. My dilemma was hope to win $500 and be at either 1100 or not cover and be up 600 in a loss. Or hedge my bet with a $220 bet on LSU guaranteeing myself roughly 800 or 900 in a loss or win.
I choose to bet the 220 on LSU. Didn’t work out as USC won and I only got 900 instead of the full $1100. Still think it was a good call.
