Kraken and Kings. I already liked the Kraken to begin with but I only made one bet pre game, $40 on 3 way 1st period at +250. It was 2-1 seattle after 1.
After the period I was looking at live bets and I felt like the Kraken were gonna score a bunch more and felt like the kings had a good chance of laying a turd the rest of the game. So I saw correct score options which I rarely do because they are hard to hit and not a good bet but I was fking around and chose 6:1 for 200-1. I almost did 5:2 but the value sucked as it was only 15-1 I believe. I wanted the longer odds and I legit felt like the kings might not score again.
So whatever, took a flyer, no way kraken score 6 on the kings but I said fk it. Bet 5 on it, changed it to 10, then back to 5 because I said "no way that shit is gonna hit, just do 5"...5 to win 1000 (stupid me cost myself another 1000 trying to save 5 bucks)
I fall asleep and in the 3rd I wake up and its 5-1 kraken and im like holy shit these guys are dominating the kings like they're the ones in the playoff hunt. Logon and check my ticket and theres a cashout value of 110. I was thinking about it but there was still 10 minutes left so I said nah lets keep going. Kings haven't scored at this point since the 1st why start now.
6 and change to go and kraken score to make it 6-1. Nice lol. Now my cashout is at 495. I said shit I have to right? Over 7.5 was +110 right then.
A minute goes by and I decide I want to hedge for less. Over 7.5 goals was now +125 so i did 200 to win 250. Another minute and its now +140. So I did 36 to win 86. 3 minutes go by and now it was +225. So I did another 14 to win 31.50. So a total of 250 hedged to win 367ish if either team scores a goal. Or I collect the 1000 and make a 750 profit. Luckily the score held. Just kicking myself for not putting the extra 5. But then I guess I woulda hedged more.
How would you have hedged? Cashed out the 495 asap? Prematurely cash out the 110 when it was 5-1?
