I'm tempted to bet NYJ simply because it would cause a huge loss for the public if they blow out the fightin' flaccos.

Biggest winning day ever for me and I don't even like teasers that much.

Had $80 in bets today on NFL
Won $76.32 back so far
Ravens cover +8 tomorrow night I win $92.27

Wondering if I should bet Jets -1 tomorrow night. Is there a formula to figure out optimal play in this situation? A 5 point middle seems like a lot. Any suggestions?

My noob logic says to put $50 on the Jets -1 and I would be guaranteed a minimum profit of at least $45 with a chance to middle

Is this a obvious play to bet the jets?

Trying to figure my best play. Currently +340.11 from Sunday Teasers with Baltimore(+8.5) still in play on a 4 team, 3 team, and two 2 teams. Five possible outcomes.

1.No other bets and Baltimore wins +776.93
2.No other bets and Baltimore loses + 15.11
3.Bet 440 on Jets(-1.5)/Jets lose +336.96
4.Bet 440 on Jets(-1.5)/Jets win +415.11
5.Bet 440 on Jets(-1.5)/Jets Middle +1196.00

Thoughts?

ferb, how well do you think Baltimore will cover with your 8.5 spread? if you are pretty sure, don't hedge the play. if you are not so sure about taking this play, ( I personally love the Jets but what do I know,I just lose money

) so I would bet 440 to hedge this play. actually, being +336.96Min. is very good, Hedge!

Life is one long poker session, and one long series of individual bets. Either the Jets -1.5 is a good bet or it isnt.

Jets line at -1 at Bodog now. Am I dreaming thinking this game can middle? I would need Jets to win between 2-8.

I wish I could get a spoon. I've looked at a bunch of sources including the ones linked above and tried to derive the growth manually and am failing pretty hard.

I have 4.4% to win 9% of my bankroll on ravens +8 which I estimate at 77.88% given current lines. What do I put on a hedge/middle? Someone plz teach me. TY in advance.
