I won all three ballgames last night and will win over 5 grand tonight if the Memphis game goes over. Naturally this morning I got up thinking I would hedge with a fairly large bet on the Memphis under. My book is only allowing me to bet $550. I have always had issues with their maximums, but even their rules say I can wager $1,100. What would you do if you were me? Just sit back and hope for the over, make the small $550 wager on the under, other option? I know I can probably parlay with a larger bet taking the Under and another game but that could leave me with zero. Thanks in advance- Bama

The visiting team scored 8 in the top of the first. That was all the scoring for either team. Talking about wanting to kick the dog... Thanks for the the advice, you also tm713. It would be easier if my book would just let me wager about 2k. They say I can call customer serice and request a higher bet but once they see why it wouldn't be approved. GL today fellas- You are right about the tempo of the game. Memphis will want to run, UCLA will want to crawl. My best bet is if it is fairly close at the end and FT's put me over. Bama
