OK... in week 4 I put $100 on Pitt to win the Superbowl. I got 12-1 odds so I stand to win 1200.

Now I was thinking that I should put $600 on the seahawks. This way if the seahawks win I will win $600 minus my initial investment of $100. I am really liking Pitt just to win so should I go for it all or just for half?

edit. I can get the SEA moneyline at +150

I hope you are not basing that on todays game.

Remember, this was our 3rd string RB (who then got hurt) and was replaced by our 4th string RB.

based on them shutting down carolina's 3rd string running game? Rothelisburger and Heinz Ward can get things done in long situations and with that o-line bettis can't be stopped in 1-2 yard plays.

Well, if you put $600 on Seattle, you are guaranteeing yourself a payday of $500. The only problem could be if Seattle is favored and doesn't cover the spread, then you're out all $700.

If Pitt is favored, I'd do the $600 and feel content with $500.

You can place a bet on Seatle to Win (Money Line)That will pay much more than even $$ - close to 1.5/1 if you do it soon before money starts getting dumped on Seattle.
Many sports bookies think the line should be closer to 3 than what is opening at (4).

Therefore if you put $200 on the money line and if Seattle wins you will get back $500
Net profit ($200)
If Pitt wins you get back $1200
Net profit ($900)
