Default Need some advice for tonight's game...

Ok...here's the deal...I have a 4 team 13 point teaser pending with the last team being Denver +22......I've risked 6.5 units to win 5 units for this teaser (yeah i know the odds weren't too good), but it's got 1 team left to cash, and it's a pretty big play...

do you guys think I should try for a middle with this late game?? I'm seeing the line as san diego -7 right now, so it's a 15 point middle...but not sure if I should or if I should, for how much?

My initial thought is to just keep my teaser at Denver +22, and hope that cashes...and not worry about middling it...

would really like to get some thoughts from some of the regulars here...

Normally I would say no, but I actually think SD -7 is a decent play right now.

The other option is to wait until halftime and hope Denver does not implode (down more than 2 TD) in the first half. You should still have some good options and if the game is close, you can just keep your original play.

yeah, I'm thinking that I'm going to take a chance and wait until halftime to see where I'm at with this play...

never understood hedging....all you are doing is giving 1/2 your winnings away. let the thing ride. if it was good at +22 last night then it's good today at +22. i swear i see more guys compromise good bets on these sites by doing that ****...

let it ride.....

He would have a good shot at a middle.

yeah, i agree, but why mess with it i guess is my point. +22 is pretty good for a game involving 2 teams with no defenses.

I see what you are saying 22 points should be good.

thanks for the comments fellas...so far i've just let it ride with the +22....going to see at halftime if I want to make a play, but at this point, i will most likely just let it ride at +22 and not make any halftime plays...atleast that's the way I'm leaning right now...

22 points aren't looking too good right now..24-6 right now, and its just about halftime.......going to see what the half time line is...

just the fact that the line is SD -2 or so says a lot. Vegas thinks this is going to get worse.

i would agree 100% with that at this point. you are on the wrong side with DEN in your teaser and that's pretty obvious. take 1/2 a payout and be happy. but you did the right thing, at least IMHO by riding out the 1H to see what happened

so you guys think SD -3 for about 3 units is good?

the teaser is risking 6.5 units to win 5 units....

Yea, I agree. I see no reason to believe Denver is competitive here in the 2H. They blow hard.
