    maybe the dumbest bet ive ever made

    had $50 in freeplay left and i made this parlay:

    Reds 1st 5 (-.5)
    Orioles
    Orioles u7.5
    Yankees

    so the first 3 games hit. will be $50 to win $827 if yankees win. want to hedge but im taking a chance taking the red sox -1.5 +178 $300 to win $534

    i usually bet $60 a unit

    yankees win +$527
    red sox win by 2 or more +$534
    red sox win by 1 run -$300

    i swear if the red sox win this game by one run it will put me on megatilt. i can just see this game goes extras. anyone ever hedge like this before?

    Its all a gamble in the end Tony although not a strategy I would go with, probably just let it ride personally and live bet if I see an angle....I got Yankees ML in a parlay myself

    Shouldve just taken sox ml to completely hedge. They could easily win by 1 and you end up a loser. Take the guaranteed $ and move on.
