    How much to hedge
    Have a 5 teamer pending that pays 24x my initial bet.

    $50 to win just under 1,200

    Play is on Grizzlies / Lakers 1st Half Under 99

    Hedge for half and relax? Hedge 1/3?

    What do you guys think

    Hedge. Guaranteed $. Take it and don't look back. Don't kick yourself either if the initial were to hit.

          Guys I am hedging.

          What I'm saying is how much. Bet 550 to win 500? That guarantees me 450 with a shot at 650.

                    98 would be insane! 99 would also be great

                        Generally the answer is no.

                        Circumstances when hedging appropriate few and far between but maybe if you 1) staked too much on initial wager (on purpose to circumvent limit on one line in the group or because you tilted out), 2) taking advantage of a weak future line and value surpassed in earlier "rounds" 3) change of circumstance. I think that's about it.

                        Anyone feel free to enlighten me.

                                You missed the ultimate narrowly. But it's ok that you hedged. Your capping was right but it's still good you hedged.

                                  I feel no remorse it was a longshot parlay and I'm happy to pocket the cash. As a smaller bettor I do not feel comfortable with 1200 riding on one outcome
