Teavis 0 Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Don't you guys think the "return to the Superdome" might charge the Saints, who, by the way, are 2-0. Link to post Share on other sites

Yoda 1 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 I picked 10 out of 11 games right on Sunday - only one I missed was the Cardinals and Warners gay fumble.Hit 2 parlays as well. What a day. Link to post Share on other sites
Teavis 0 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Good call. I'm glad I hedged. I can't believe so many people on here took the Falcons. They obviously had no chance.Also what is hedging? Help a beginner sports bettor. Link to post Share on other sites
wilheldp 0 Posted September 26, 2006 Author Share Posted September 26, 2006 The beautiful thing about parlays is that you can bet a few of them, and you only have to hit one to have a profitable weekend. I missed two of my three parlays and ended the weekend up $210. Link to post Share on other sites
CobaltBlue 662 Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Also what is hedging? Help a beginner sports bettor.In this particular case, I basically bet on the other team (usually through another bookie) with a different oddsline.In this particular case, BetWWTS was offering that free $100 bet on the Falcons with a spread of -3.5 at -110. If I won, I'd get $190 back. If I lost, I'd just get the $100 refunded. Meanwhile, Bodog had the Saints at +4 (-115). Therefore, I put $48 on the Saints through Bodog. If the Falcons covered by 3.5, I would win the $190 and lose my $48...for a profit of $42. If the Falcons covered by exactly 4, my second bet would be a push...for a profit of $90. If the Falcons failed to cover, I'd win my second bet...again for a profit of $42.So basically, I had the option of taking the gamble to win $90, but I could've also broken even. By "hedging", I guaranteed myself a profit...but the chance of hitting the big upside was greatly lessened. Link to post Share on other sites
