I am thinking about putting $1300 to win 1K this week. Then if the Ravens win that is obviously better for me. How much would I put on the Pats in the SB if they win? They will be around -170 I am guessing. Thanks alot.

congrats on getting giants 50-1. I saw another poster on here got them 70-1. I would def hedge if I was you on the superbowl just to lock in profits bc obv either team can win imo.

imo put 6.4k on the pats ml. i got them at -140 right now. so 6.4k brings back 4.5k. if giants win you make about 3k(10k-6.4k-500), and when pats when u make 4k(ml bet-500).

i guess if u got faith in the giants u could drop that 6.4k to like 5k on the pats so u would make 4.5k if giants won and like 3k when pats win.

Im in the same boat but for less money...I didn't hedge the 49er game although I was tempted at overtime...I think I will hedge a little on the Pats, but I genuinely think the Giants will win this game, but beating Brady and Bellichick twice in the same year is no easy task

At any rate, I would wait to hedge as I think the Pats ML will get better than the -140 spring mentioned...in fact, I've seen better odds already

I only hedged $1500 on the Pats in the SB. So I walked away with around 8K profit. Very juiced about this. Thanks for the help guys.
