    The Kim fight starts before the other 2 do so maybe put like 50 or 100 on Condit...proceed by betting Roller for $100 if Condit wins etc etc ... you can hedge for a profit for sure, it just depends how confident you are in the 3 fights...seems like many think Guillard has a strong chance of winning so maybe only hedge on Condit and Siver? I see you bet $10 so I would at least want a $50 profit out of the ordeal..gl on whatever you decide!

    i agree with jakepeavy... i would hedge on condit and siver. although, you should find out what the actual payout would be since the listed payout includes the sozynski fight. this would give you a better idea of what amount to hedge.

    I don't hedge. Unless the odds change significantly you are just giving the books extra unnecessary money. Only other way I might hedge is if something changed about the fight. If you weren't comfortable with your picks you should have made them.

    In the future I think you would be better off making that parlay a 6 fight parlay with your first 6 fighters (since they were mostly on the same card) and then deciding what you want to do with your money after that UFC.

    If the money is significant for you then you should hedge this time, but I do agree with all the picks you have made.

    $50 sounds about right based on what he's hit so far.
