    need advice on hedging a futures bet
    Need a little advice; I have 3 futures bets made in March that are locks; also got the Phillies $500 to win $2500 back in late June when Utley, Rollins, Polanco were all hurt and Phillies were playing like garbage. Still figured they would at least get the wildcard and when i saw +500 to win the National League I jumped on it big.

    My question is this, do i just ride them for the big win, I really think with their 3 Aces noone in the Majors can beat them in a 7 game series. Or do i somehow hedge this futures bet with 1 or 2 teams in the NL to ensure a win no matter what? Thanks for any advice anyone can offer. here are the wagers from my online account listed below:

    If you're uptight about losing the $500, go to Matchbook and bet $700 to win $500 against the Phillies winning the NL Pennant (price at of Sept 23 6:00 PM EST) and have a free ride on the other $1800

      Or just bet against them in their respective series' because they will be the favorite during each (yes I'm assuming the make it to the NL ships).
