    Best way to hedge this?
    I never bet on baseball and threw up a 3 game parlay out of desperation. Marlins, Mets, and Giants all -1.5. $35 to win $500. I probably shouldn't hedge with the easiest game left, but that is the game that usually loses. Phillies are +190 and I thought maybe sprinkling a bit on that. What would you guys do? Thanks in advance.

      No. They were +185, +160, and +105

          If you put a couple bills on Phila at that price you come up at either 300 or 350 profit.

          Only problem is if SF wins by one run you lose both...

          Look into the Phila +1.5 price and go from there. I'm sure there's a way to get some money out of the eventual outcome in that case.

            I'd say let it ride. Even though in desperation you chose SF -1.5 for a reason. Unless of course it's your last 35 dollars and you want to get paid..I'd hedge. Matt makes a good point about the +1.5

                What kind of live bets are there in case the game is close? I don't really want to put $100 on Philly only for SF to jump out to a 7-0 lead. I use bovada and have never bet live on baseball.

                    If you put 100 on Phila and SF goes up 7-0 your original bet wins and you profit 400.

                    Where's the problem lol

                          thanks. was waiting for the home run to make it 8-7. I guess miracles do happen. i did live bet $40 on Phi +2.5 before the last batter. it was +500....lol, i figured I could maybe middle. last baseball bet of the season for me....waiting for basketball
