    Should I Hedge?
    2/3 of the way to a big parlay in the SBR Book:

    PARLAY (3 TEAMS)
    [952] CIN -130
    ( ACTION )
    [954] FLA -205
    ( ACTION )
    [956] PHI -1½-140
    ( Z DUKE -L / R HALLADAY -R )

    245.10 / 860.90


    Should I hedge this with a 200-220 bet on the Pirates to limit my exposure to a 1 run Phillies win? So tempted to just let it ride. What do you think?

    i would hedge it, anytime you can know that you can't lose any money, only can win is about the best feeling in gambling there is.

      Yes sir, I would for sure. At those huge odds, you probably only need to wager 100 on the buccos to assure yourself at worst a break even, but I would go in the 200 range to insure profit. GL whatever you decide!

          If that's a good chunk of points for you, yes.

            No. You'd have to hedge PHI ML and PIT ML just to cover all your bases.

                      You don't win big by hedging. Hedging is like buying insurance in blackjack
