    Need Help With Hedging*

    Could somebody give me an idea on the best way to hedge this bet?

    3 Team Parlay #172561556
    (814) Kansas State -240 Thu@8:35p
    (808) Kentucky -480 Thu@8:55p
    (880) Duke -500 Fri@8:55p

    Bet $120 to win $126

    Duke vs Purdue is the only one remaining, with the Purdue ML being +375. What would you guys suggest I bet on the Purdue ML to guarantee myself the most profit?

    wouldnt hedge it....only time i hedge parleys is if they got real fat payouts if im gonna play a ml fav parley im just prepared to ride it out, but thats just me...., obviously if you put 50 on Purdue you win a little somethin either way but thats no fun if anything id put all what i was gonna win on Purdue ml if i thought they had a shot and go for the bigger payday for free ......gl whatever you decide

    I use parlays to hedge, I guess, 3 straight-up plays.

    Like today

    Pirates, Marlins, and Tigers, straight up.

    then parlay the other 3 sides.

    If I win all 3 I clean up, if I lose all 3 I break about even.
