Sorry but it would not let me put the whole thing on one post.  Assuming the Dook game goes over, how does everyone feel about the 8th and final play.....Zona +8.

I think it should depend on how you're doing and how much the parlay is worth. If it's for a large amount, I would say hedge a small portion. If it's for a small amount and for a nice hit, maybe just gamble with it. If you're down for the week and want to make some (or all) of it back, hedge. If you're ahead and gambling, let it ride for a nice hit.

Myself - Nothing better than watching a game knowing you're winning either way. I would hedge.

Well your over is solid. Normally I would say ride it out but considering I feel strongly about ASU, I would hedge out half, but that's me. If it was my parlay and my selections I'd ride it out.

Best of luck with your decision

I'd hedge it too, but I've got Zona in all my bets too. Hell, I even have them to win s/u for a nice chunk...BOL, love that feeling

I am thinking of waiting until halftime of the Zona game......and maybe catching a chance to middle and hit both......

Depending how it goes, that could be risky as hell. Although when you submitted the parlay, I'm sure you thought the $10 was down the crapper anyways so why not go for the gusto?

I play alot of $10-$20 parlays so as long as I hit one every month or so, it works out for fun.  Typically they are 5-7 teamers paying $500-$650....so this is a nicer one.

Hedge with AZ State ML and it's likely you could hit both.

There is no question that you hedge.  If Duke over hits, and you put say $300 on Arizona St and they do not cover you still win around $600.  If you do not hedge, and Arizona St. covers, you win nothing. I would hedge.

I was thinking about the Zona St ML but it's expensive

Assuming Duke goes over and it will, you want to make cash since your this close. It's simple, cut it half put 505on ASU -8. That way you win $447 or $449. no matter who wins. $952-$505=$447 or $459-$10=$449. You have to MAKE MONEY IF THIS CLOSE

I'd say hedge a little ACC. But I also like your thinking of waiting until halftime and possibly middling. Let me know what you end up doing so I can root for ya. I like to play parlays like this a few times a week too and as long as you hit one a month, you're making profit. I like it!

GL ACC!

I agree DC  Nice Avatar.  I used $300 as an example.  But I would gaurantee myself the most possible. That is easy money
