All u gotta do is bet a small amount of them on the Jaguars to win and if they do you could be gettin paid big. say i put in idk 50 gg points on jags. i could potentially be gettin back around 150-200 or even way more. we r talkin 300+. then again if they lose whatever u only lost abt 50 gg points which isnt hard to make back.

yet what i do to make so many is bet some on the overdog and unless the net back is terrible u can usually cover both bets placed

The w/L doesn’t matter if you are betting both sides lol I’m just saying it is unlikely you will gain points by hedging a bet with mystery odds, almost will never work out in your favor mathematically

Well you have won 2 more bets than you have lost (clearly not results of hedging) and only have a small profit to show for it. So I don’t see how my comment didn’t age well lol but congrats.

Not sure what you mean.
what i was saying is if you continue to bet both sides of a pickem, you will lose more than you will win. The way a hedge works is by mathematically choosing your wagers to ensure that your bets are low risk, based on given odds. But the problem with Pickem’s is the odds aren’t disclosed until the bets are closed. so you are basically just guessing on how offset the payouts will be and simultaneously have to get lucky that your payout will exceed the cost of your losing bet.
dont get me wrong.. you can still get lucky here or there, and I hope you do. But you can’t convince me that there is any skill involved with betting both sides of a game unless you know what the odds are.
