What to do?

[Hooks]

Played a $50.00 6 pt , 6 team teaser.

Wash. + 5

Sea. -.5

Sea/Clev OV 36

S.D. + 13

Going into the late game needing Jax. + 9.5. Do I play the other side?

Then I need JETS + 8 Monday to wrap it up if I can get that far. If the Jags keep it going , I will play Tenn. - 2 for ? May be able to hit both sides. :shrug: Thanks for your thoughts.

Excuse my ignorance on this, but...

...what does a 6-team, 6-point teaser pay? I've never bet one of these and I really don't have a clue. But I can do the math for you if you want.

Didn't see this before the Jax kickoff, sorry. So far so good though.

Alright...

Alright...

Olympic shows 7/1 payout for a 6-point 6-teamer. So I'm going to assume you're in a position to win $350 for $50 risked on your teaser.

If that's the case and you didn't hedge anything on TB tonight, and you want to lock in maximum profit, I would bet Tenn -2 at $210 to win $190.

If the teaser wins and the straight bet loses:
+$350 - $210 = $140 profit

If the straight bet wins and the teaser loses:
+$190 - $50 = $140 profit

If both win:
+$190 +$350 = $540 profit

If you believe in the teaser more (which I assume you do, since it was your initial bet), make the straight bet for a bit less.

If you hedged some on TB tonight, and the TB straight bet didn't cover, make the same $210 to win $190 hedge bet on Tenn -2 anyways. Net profit will be equal to the numbers above, minus your loss on TB.

GM, thank you for at least replying. 1 out if 100 + views
Well, since I didn't recieve any help, I want you GM to know, I didn't put anything on T.B.
Looking at their log for this season, I noticed they hadn't covered more than 1 game in a row.They barely got the cover last week vs. NYG.
Also it was kind of Jax's SB for this year also a bragging rights type of game.They ended up playing very tough.
I will now look harder at this game tomorrow night and will most likely take your advice and hedge. not sure how much but again thank you for your time and thoughts
