    How would you hedge? Have Heat to win series at -125.

    Should I go for the double and take the points or play Spurs ML to free roll with a little profit either way? If I didn't really want the Heat to lose I might consider letting it ride, but I also feel Heat are being overvalued here so hedge makes sense.

    Spurs ML. I have Heat to win the series 4-3 at +350. Was very tempted to let it ride but hedging is always the smart thing to do

    If its a big amount and you need the money hedge.

    if not, let it ride , you got a great number right now.

    No biggie if it loses, i just don't want to root for the heat and feel like the value is with the Spurs now, less since the line movement though.

    Yes, it's a good number, but that doesn't mean hedging is a bad thing if there is a good number on the other side.

    I have it at various prices n a gd chunk but no hedging. All or nothing.

    I had Miami to win east huge last year and hedged out if it all before gm 6 and regret it to this day. This time wont do tht, they lose so be it, but you gotta like their chances.

    No one can tell you what to do.....Just go with what you think. If you really like the Spurs than bet them, if not let it ride or gamble for the +7 double payout

    Same boat. Have Heat future grabbed at -200 and -125 for this series after game 5. Been contemplating this shit for last two days but I gotta sack up and stick, right?

    Think Spurs have been better team throughout the series but after what happened in game 6 I can't see them winning now. Only thing concerns me is my original thought about Spurs being the better team. But they're gonna win in Miami after what happened Tuesday night? Can't wrap my head around that one.

    Don't hedge. You have 80+% chance on a -125 line. Can't beat that, penetrate giving any back.

    You don't hedge. You go all in on Miami and win a larger amount.

    U guys hedging are nuts imo. I mean you got what u wanted gm7 w the better team at home! Now u wanna give some of it back? Seems like a bad strategy to me, unless u bet way over your head or something this is what u should have wanted!

    All these people telling you not to hedge and the whole entire board being on the Heat makes me nervous. That's why I hedged. The Heat are clearly the obvious play, but its game 7. Crazy shit happens, and the board is begging to be buried.

    miami hasnt shown much to say they are the better team. the series has been 2 close games ( split) and 4 blowouts( split).

    Having a great day with Soccer(Spain -8 and Uruguay over 1.5) and Cricket(India) and don't want to end the night on a down note, figured why not go for it?. Going for the double with Spurs +6 as I can definitely see it being tight down the stretch.
