Whats so tricky? You need spurs and over.. You liked both of those when you pressed submit, whats changed now?  Do not hedge, you reduce your returns dramatically

You could take straight bet on Grizz -5 and another on  under 179, the line has moved to your favor, maybe wait it out and hope the line moves again which would give you a small chance to middle 1 or both bets........................................................

You really can't hedge the parlays with both Spurs and the over in them.

Ride it out.  Hedging is rarely a good idea.

You weren't scared when you put it in, you've already won half your bets.  You should be more excited than anything.

Yeah I don't understand why people love hedging. You made a bet, stick with it otherwise you lose value in the long run.

The only time I encourage hedging is when you made a FUTURE bet with long odds

the only one you have worth a hedge is the first parlay, the 3 teamer with 11 for 66....i do not like the spurs game over, maybe $11 on the under, and it saves your original wager or if it goes over, you only give back 11$ out of the winnings... but generally none of the others are even worth considering a hedge..

It is about making money.  Always lock in profit. Always hedge!

I think your plays win. But there is no way you shouldn't hedge. Especially if you are trying to get ahead. If you have live option maybe you can wait and try to middle.  But be a real shame to lose all the parlays in case Spurs don't feel the urgency Memphis will have.
