    Whenever I can hedge, I take it. I like a sure thing even if I lose some potential profit.
    Maybe, only 10 percent of better's bet like me.

    Sometimes I bet both sides of a single game just to lock in a win if I am on a bad run.

    Kaliboyz,
    All the luck in the world won't save you when you bet like that.

    Regarding that bottom parlay where you risked $100 to win $73, why not just bet the Tigers and risk the $100 to win about $60? Is it really worth the extra $13 in win potential to have to sweat out 2 tennis matches?

    While I normally advise against using touts, perhaps you should just tail someone you have confidence in and bet exactly what they tell you to bet. At the very least, take this advice:

    NEVER NEVER include any wager in a parlay that is priced at worse than -500 (staying below -300 would be even better).

    Especially Fed vs. Youzhny at -5000. Youzhny is a top 15 player with experience... can't say I haven't made mistakes like that in the past though.
