    Is there any chance the Yankees lose tonight???

    The reason I ask is I have Yankees ML as the last leg of a parlay.

    I had A's -1 at +108, Cardinals ML at -104, and Yankees -170

    $30.13 to win $165

    I was thinking about taking Baltimore ML for $65 to guarantee my self a $100 profit.... should i do it or let it ride?

    i know its not a lot of winnings either way and i only $30 down but what would you guys do??

    Anytime you can guarantee a profit in sports betting you take it! If I asked you if you wanted a Benjamin you wouldn't say no right! Pretty easy decision here

    Take orioles +1.5 then not only can you cover yourself some (not as much because of the odds) you can hit both bets if Yanks win by 1.

    Let it ride or else your paying double juice for no reason, if you weren't sure of the play why did you add it to the parlay?

    its always smart to hedge in this situation just in case dude.. only reason you wouldn't is because you want to be greedy or want the adrenaline filled action of knowing 1 team is left in your parlay and its all or nothing... but ultimately the choice is yours... good luck

    that wasnt by any means commentary on the gm, just general rule far as hedging goes...i hope spankies lose and the biggest clown in the history of sbr is on them so prob better chance than odds suggest....

    To hedge or not to hedge is always the question on here. My experience is that I always wish I had hedged when I end up losing....Always take the win, but you could always parlay the Orioles ML with something else to give you something to roll your dice with and win more than 100. That's just the degen in me talkin..

    Sorry...changed Yanks to O's

    Balty has won 6 of 9 in New York.

    Yes, it is impossible for them to win again tonight.

    great advice. I took Orioles +1.5 for $65 to win $50 and cashed the parlay for $165.
