    DO I hedge in this situation if yes how much?

    had a 3 legged future parlay preseason as I felt very confident about it.

    minnesotta under 6.5 wins
    miami under 7.5 wins
    obama to win election

    risking3k to win $5,860

    Both Miami and Minnesotta are doing decent and both teams still have a good chance to make it especially vikings being only 2 wins away. So do I try to hedge in the elction regardless as both teams have very tough schedules ahead of them and I can still hit this? If yes how much do I put on Romney?

    Also please no political posts I am only looking at this from a betting perspective and I do not want to hear your reasons on why Obama/Romney will win the election or should win the election.

    I don't see any real wise way to hedge this. Minnesota has a tough schedule ahead, but two wins.. I think they'll get them. Miami is no lock either

    The odds on this seem really poor, 3 teamer at 3k all at -200 pays out over 7,000. I'd think you are going to trust that Obama will win, and hope MINN and Miami suck the next couple weeks, and then the last few weeks of the season you could hedge by betting on MINN and Miami.

    There's no way to profitably hedge out of a 3 teamer when not a single pick has won yet.

    This has 0 percent chance of cashing. One of those teams goes over

    For the record, before the season started, I'd have been right along with ya on this one. Didn't mean to sound dickish.
