Hawaii -2.5, 1u. Too many Broncos fans, this line was 5.5-6 when it opened, LV is better than that LDO.

What Hedging... That word in foreign to me... Do u think all the people who hedged the Mansion 1k free bet on the Steelers last year were happy with the hedge?? But hey, its your money.

what happened on that? (i remember the "free money"..... but did something subsequently go bad?? i don't hear anything about mansion anymore)..... and these aren't facetious comments/questions, i honestly don't know... thanks in advance!!!

Just before the season opened last year, Mansion had a promo that if you bet 1k on Pitt Steelers ( point spread-- I think it was 7 or 7.5 ) they would refund your money if you lost... You had to bet 1K ( no more .. no less) ...the promo filled u quickly and they closed it a few days after it was announced.... Many people who bet 1k on the steeler to cover hedged the bet with another book to lock in a sure win ( say bet 500 on the other team to guarantee $500 profit)... Others took the 1k freeroll.... The Pit Steelers covered the gam and most of us won the full 1k.. Those who hedged did not win the full 1k...

internetdonk, thanks..... i thought maybe it was worse (i.e. that you couldn't get your money out).... i agree on hedging. it's less risk for less possible return. and hindsight's 20/20 after you have hedged. but good on those who didn't.
