    How should I have hedged this parlay?

    Put together a big parlay mixing baseball and wimbledon

    All I have left in the whole parlay is the Red Sox ML against the pirates.

    The current payout is 100 to win 1850. I definitely wanted to lock up a lot of that profit and sweat the last game as little as possible.

    At the current price of +150 to +155 for the Pirates, how much would you risk / to win on the Pirates to hedge this?

    My book has pitt at -148. Personally, I would do something like this:

    Bet approx 775 to win 1150 on pitt.

    This way, not matter who wins, your net profit approx 1050.

    Best of luck... I love situations like that

    Well I went with Pitt ML instead of the RL.

    ~580 to win 900. I had thought that the Red Sox still had the better chance of winning, so I potentially win more with them winning.

    Boils down to Red Sox Win = + $1270
    Pirates Win = + $800

    Get to kick back and enjoy this one.
