    Should i hedge the Twins??

    Got a nice little parlay resting on the Twins RL now. I was always going to let it ride out, but it's come to it i'm unsure

    Anyone like to persuade me either way? Cheers!

    Twins should be solid. I'm not a big fan of runlines though...especially in a parlay.

    Why hedge? Let it ride. It's a winner, IMHO.

    Usually a good idea to hedge...

    It really depends how big the parlay is. If it's like 20 units, and it only cost you 1, then why not risk 5 units to get 10 back in return.

    It all depends what the payout is.

    Hedge A: Take O's RL for Half of your "win" amount on the parlay

    Hedge B (Balsy): Take O's ML for 20% of the "win" amount on the parlay

    the ballsy hedge is stupid and is not a hedge at all- you could lose both bets

    the amount is completely subjective and up to the player
    could hedge for the risk amount, any % of risk amount he wishes to guarantee
    or a larger amount if he wishes- especially if its the last piece of large parlay that pays a big amount- then guaranteed money either way
