If in fact you did have this game as your last leg and ALL of the other legs were already decided, live betting the inning would give you an excellent position to hedge out some of your winnings. And I'm talking about hitting the bet right after the bottom of the eighth or at any time when the score was 3-2. Odds for Philly to win would have been very high and you could have risked a small amount to recoup double or triple your original bet without losing much if the parlay held up (an Arizona win). If you put more than 3 teams in a parlay and game times are not all at the same time, PLAN ON HEDGING. In the long run it will make you much more money than letting the parlays ride. People who do this are a online book's nightmare. You can think of the parlay putting you into a "no lose situation" instead of an "all or nothing" situation (which a parlay usually is).
