advise on middle please

I did a 10pt tease and the the first 2 games won.
I'm left heavy on the Giants +14.5 tomorrow.
Should I sit on this or middle it? Thoughts anyone?

You're not even talking about an even money bet here, right? Why did you put NYG in the teaser if you don't like them at +14.5?

Pinny has SEA -10.5 at +228 now, so that might be an okay middle/hedge for you, but it's not +EV and anyway, you should decide what you're going to do in this situation BEFORE you make the bet.

This is not a middle; it's a hedge.

Middles are attempts to take advantage of a disparity in the line between two 'books; there is no such disparity here.

Any new bet you make is seperate and totally independent from the [open portion] of your teaser.

Do you think Seattle is a good value laying 4.5 ?

- If you do, lay it.

Ditto if you like them laying [approx.] 225 on the $ line.

- If you see value lay it.

Hey - maybe you think either (or both) NYG plus 4.5 or plus 200 on the $ line is/are a good play(s).

If you do - bet it.

Hedging is a personal decision that is typically done to lock in a [smaller] win when the amount of money at stake is outside your comfort level and when done for this reason does not need to be +EV.

- Life insurance - whole or term - is a horrendous bet but I take no quarrel with anyone who has some. (I do)

Does this make sense to you ?

P.M. me if it doesn't and I'll have another try.

Best wishes,

Got it thanks! I was confused on the terminology.
I liked the Giants +14.5. I also believe the chance of winning a seahawks -4.5 and a Giants +14.5 is highly probable too.
