Need advice!!

Hey everyone! I need some advice please! I had 2 NFL parlay bets in for Sunday and MNF tonight. The Packers absolutely sold me out last night from hitting the first one. Had them at -6.5 and with the 13 pt lead early on I thought I had it only to blow it and end in the rare tie. The second parlay is a 5 leg with the Chiefs, Rams, Jags, and Giants already covering...now awaiting MNF tonight for the Broncos -7.5. Stats wise the Broncos look to handle this no problem but after losing hard last night with the Packers Im getting trigger happy with the Cashout option. If Denver covers I grab $432...the cashout offer right now sits at $186.94 (was at $191 last night). I really want to just take the cash offer but will be sick to my stomach if Denver ends up covering...or if they end up blowing it like green Bay did last night. Help!!!

My advice to you is not listening to anyone on here. It's your money while letting strangers on here make that decision for you.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do!

Good luck. Your not really a gambler or who should be wagering your own money and counting on outside noise to make your bets. 

@T3PeteDawg

You're getting about +125 odds for the 186 in hand.    Double your money plus another 25 percent ($46.50)

I would probably let it ride because the NFL is known for its parity - not lopsided results - and that's what most bettors are probably going to bank on again tonight.  

@football_007

 No, I agree with you on the money part 100%. I more or less wanted everyones take on the game tonight and whther or not we think Denver can actually pull it off. I appreciate it though!!

@Verdict

 Isn't that what we all do here is collectively talk about which teams we think are more likely to win or cover the spread? Thats the advice Im looking for is whether we think Denver can cover. Not on whther or not I should be gambling.

@lock_city

 I appreciate it, lock!! Im leaning hard towards letting it ride because I do think Denver can cover. Anyways, whats the point of gambling if youre not actually doing it. Thanks man.

Let it ride.

You lose more than you win cashing out.

It a topic that been discussed at length here awhile ago.  You have to go digging if you wanna read it.

You already made the bet.  You were pretty confident when you made it.

What change?

I wouldnt cash out bc the cash out payout is trash. If I wanted to hedge I would do it live and have an opportunity to hit on both bets. So I would look for Denver to score first hopefully and then get +13.5 on Cincy and put like 150 on that. Now Im guaranteed 280 instead of 180, and I have a chance at 580

@T3PeteDawg

 To each their own. If anything in these forums, go against the majority of what people are predicting. 

If you can afford to pay for the wifi you are on to post this, you let it ride. Plain and simple

Think about long term results 

Go with your gut feeling

I have read a lot of cappers responses over the years about how to manage bankroll,parlays, hedging.. in my opinion everyone should be making profit at all times even if it is a small amount.. if you were running a business you would want to minimize risk and maximize profit over each quarter BUT also take risks when possible that will not put the business in a hole.. stack your chips man

It all depends on your bankroll.. and what percentage you are ok with losing if the risk you take does not pan out

remember it’s a marathon not a sprint we are barely getting into week 5.. there are several weeks left long season

Good Luck

Hedge the bet so you win something.

take the guaranteed cash and start another parlay with denver fro the emotional hedge 

take the guaranteed cash and start another parlay with denver fro the emotional hedge 

if youre that confident at 7.5 then ride and die wit it ...i hate betting TD+ chalk in nfl.. i would cash out and wait for an opportunity to liveline $186 on broncos ML at decent odds 

I always hedge on bigger returns to guarantee a profit, did not see your initial wager assuming it’s about $20 ,so even if you put say $108 on the Bengals +7 1/2 at -108, you’re up $80 and if Broncs cover, still +324 as Michael Jordan said “ I hate losing more than I love winning “!

Either you’re a gambler or you’re not. The payout is right where you want it so why let go of the extra $250 you can win. If you can buy points with your book you could buy Cincy +9 for like $50 and give yourself a chance to middle and win both. Or you could open a small teaser with Cincy but would need to find another leg to fill it. Lot of options but I usually don’t do anything. 

Ask yourself are you a gambler or a conservative money maker? If you’re a gambler, let it ride of course if not, hedging half of it would be better than taking the cash out and it’s still a decent profit for your initial investment

@T3PeteDawg

 When you’re on the edge of your seat, begging for a win……

Good luck, but you just talked me off my Denver bet.

@Ppkay

 Youre 100% correct. I always feel like they are really offering you a BS low ball figure in hopes that you will take it in hopes they dont have to pay you the full thing. Ive had planty in this same position that I never got a cash out option for.

Let it ride it is!  I appreciate the response man.

@Yanasaur

 Cash out amount is definitely garbage in my opinion too. I appreciate the insight. Not a bad idea at all with the live bets either.

@takethecannolis

 Lol! Or just simply asking for the advice to continue winning. I've bet on college ball for years. I very rarely touch NFL and the few times that I have Ive been burnt. 

Glad I could help talking you out of taking Denver though.

@Verdict

 LOL! Ive seen far too many people say this same exact thing.

@Cowbeagle

 I appreciate it. Not a bad diea at all with the hedge. Original wager was $17 (to get winnings over the 400 mark) sp right at your figures wagering 20.
