that is the question...I love these situations...

I have Denver (- 1/2) in a six point 3 team tease tonight for +160.

Would love to put 100 on Cinci tonight for the best scenario netting me +260, but a Denver blowouts nets me +55.

Moneyline would cover a disasterous straight up win by the Bungles and manage to still net me +20 on a 50 risk, netting +110 in the even of a Bugles loss.

Would love a reason to put 100 on Cinci and try to middle the bet for the best case scenario.

Did I say love, I hate these situations....help me!

I NEVER hedge. Yo ubelieved in the bet when you made it so stick to your guns and finish the ticket. Its worth a lot more money to only play one side. I do not believe in Teasers but I would follow thru with what you started. GL

-1/2 - I would leave it alone. Palmer will face pressure all night and Denver has the #1 rated defense in the league. Cincy struggled to beat Miami - only because of a defensive touchdown - and Denver has a way better offense. Cincy will get aquainted with Reuben Droughns tonight in a big way. Only way I see Bengals hanging in it is if Plummer makes mistakes and turns the ball over. Bengals are beat up on defense and give up big plays. Their corners suck - 99 yd TD by the Browns last week and Jamal Lewis had a 75 yard TD run against them late in the game when you knew they were going to run. The Bengals have a hard time tackling and have several rookies starting. LB core is beat up - Caleb Miller is a rookie and starting at MLB - undersized. Stick to your guns.

i like the idea of hedging ur bet, put the same amount of money on cinci, gives you a safety net to win both bets, with gambling nothing is certain. so if you are in win, win or tie situation go for it, or maybe even teaser it 2 team 6pt teaser cinci +12.5 and over 37
