1) Packers win (other game inconsequential), I win 11 units.

You can't always guarantee a win by hedging. If you don't like my previous proposal and want to play the Packers I suggest betting enough to recoup only your investment of 4 units. After all you liked this bet when you made it so why take away from it now and set up a losing situation should they win and get to the superbowl.
Playing 13 units on the Packers money line will return your original stake if the Packers win while you will win 3 units if the Giants win and still have an unencumbered superbowl bet.
Sometimes the best way of winning is to not lose.
