If you're up for the night, would you hedge?

[vinny808]

For example, tonight, I bet
Bulls -2 second half 1x
Bulls/Nets under 90 second half 1x
Cavs +14 1x
Cavs/Blazers over 193.5 1x

If my Bulls/Nets bets hit, which seems likely, would you hedge? Do you think its good practice to always hedge if you're up for the night with a few more bets later on the night? With that said, I hope I didnt jinx anything.

I would not hedge in this situation. If you feel those plays are positive ev, you should play them. Good luck.

So tempting to hedge though....both Bulls/Nets picks just hit.

I rarely rarely rarely hedge, if the bet is +EV - it's +EV. Only time I usually hedge is when something changes ... but then many times I don't hedge b/c I'm facing a polish middle and then just gamble gamble assuming a loss

I hedged. Had to buy half a point for both Cav bets though. Although I believe my capping was correct, but I realized the odds of hitting both bets (total of 4-0 tonight) was low compared to the risk of losing one or both. If I lost one, then essentially, I would be up around up .1 unit more for the night from winning my earlier bets(a hedge bet in itself) ; while losing my last two would mean splitting for the night. And that would suck.

Are there any systems like this? For example, only bet on an early game and a late game. If first hits, then hedge the second?

did u make a profit??

[ThisGuy]

Maybe you did that right thing but IMHO


The caption doesn't fit but the image is too LOL

[vinny808]

did u make a profit??

Yes, I'm not greedy. I won 2 units minus the hedged juice of my next two bets. Bulls 2H and Under both hit.

Haha, oh man, that chick looks like a dude on his arm.

[vinny808]

Wow, the total dropped 1.5 points at tip off. Had to rebuy the over at 192 for 2x. I guess this might be an even night after all.

[DemoralizdDreamr]

do u mind throwing out the money u played and hedged because i dont understand how u made 2 units

[vinny808]

2 units minus the juice. But it doesn't matter because I put money back on the over, which is looking bad now.

Bulls 2H - win
Bulls -90 - win
=2 units
