WNO, I usually do, often by design, did so this past Monday with Pitt +3, then Balt +13.5/7.5/4.5.

Size of the original play, strength of the original play, and "live or not" factor to the dog, all greatly come into play for me when deciding to hedge or not, and/or what size hedge.

Also point "window", public play or not, and tv market size factor in.

couldnt he take a dog ML that was 7 pts or so and then play the other side on teaser

could always hedge it with a little money line dog side ..

but got a 13 point shot at a double payday ..

not sure what to do ..

Don't throw money away by playing a dead side(two contrasting plays where one loses should the other cash), always play two "live" plays when hedging.

probably dumb but i always wait until halftime of the last leg of my teaser,if i think i am in trouble and it is possible,then i hedge

michael777, thats actually not bad. you should be able to get away with that quite often.

if your team is in control and getting another 13 points, why hedge?
