    Hedge Ideas
    Alright guys, I have hit 4 of 5 on my parlay.

    50 to win 1180.

    The 5th game is SF -3 tonight.

    What would you guys do? I really don't want to end up empty handed though I'm not sure I want to take half either.

    Go back in time and bet fewer teams. If you'd bet a 4-teamer, you would have cashed it already. Seriously, why are you betting this parlay if you want to start hedging?

      It was a freeplay.

        Fair enough- that's at least not ridiculous. Why not take half then? Or "take half" and then adjust that to leave a position you want? 550 to win 605 on Phi +3 +110 is about half (+630 SF, +605 PHI). If you want to let a little more ride on SF, make it 500 to win 550 on phi or something. And be careful that your book doesn't have some gay rule about betting both sides, or bet it somewhere else to be completely sure.
