Here are my NCAA week 4 and NFL week 3 bets.

NCAA

Syracuse -6.5 over Miami (OH)
Louisville -14 over Kansas St.
UConn +1 over Indiana
Air Force pk over Wyoming

$20 bet to win $240

NFL (Morning Games)

Indianapolis -6.5 over Jacksonville
Chicago -2.5 over Minnesota
Carolina -2.5 over Tampa Bay
Detroit -6.5 over Green Bay

$20 bet to win $180

NFL (Late Games)

Baltimore -6.5 over Cleveland
Arizona -4.5 over St. Louis
Seattle -3.5 over NY Giants
Philly -6 over San Francisco
New England over Denver (money line)
Atlanta -3.5 over New Orleans

$10 bet to win $287.60

Then I have that no-loss bet on Atlanta -3.5 over New Orleans. $100
bet to win $90.90.

I got this parlay..this week:

PITT/CIN (CIN +3)

ARZ/STL (ARZ -4.5)

NE/DEN (UNDER 39)

ATL/NO (ATL -3)

Don't you guys think the "return to the Superdome" might charge the Saints, who, by the way, are 2-0.

NCAA

Syracuse 34 Miami (OH) 14 (Win)

UConn 14 Indiana 7 (Win)
Air Force 31 Wyoming 24 (Win)

Detroit 24 Green Bay 31 (Lose)

Good call. I'm glad I hedged.

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.

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.

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.

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.
