I have Cards series. Should I hedge out or let it ride?

[zoo youk]

heres the deal. I took Cards after Game 1 at -190. SF is -130 tonight, which makes this decision even harder.

also the series bet i have on the Cards is all the money i have left in 5Dimes, its all riding on Cards series.

i really don't wanna dip into different out to hedge off. i hate that. if i still had funds at 5dimes i'd do it. i know it sounds retarded. argh.

cause they haven't exactly looked great the last two games.

[zoo youk]

[shaunovery]

Maybe wait till in-play hopefully cards leading then get out of it

not a bad idea. but if cards leading, that makes it tough too lol with the thought they might pull it out.

[KktdocT]

don't hedge.

i agree that OP shouldnt hedge tonights game, especially at -135...but there are definitely smart times to hedge imo. sometimes its good to guarantee a profit.

[tblues2005]

Hedging is a good idea if you have Cardinals in the futures at the start of the season. They were 15-1 to win the NL and 30-1 to win the World Series at the start of the year. For the series as a favorite isn't a good idea though.

I have a Giants/Tigers series parlay. I know how you feel. I am hedging mine. Don't take that chance.

[ses_d]

I also know how you feel man...I got Giants series when it was +225. I'm also thinking of hedging for guaranteed profit...but I only threw $100 on it.

So it it really worth hedging? I guess it depends how much you put on your Cards series.

[TW]

you made your decision in game 5, that was the game to hedge.

[rfr3sh]

so for every 100 you have on the -190 if you hedge you lose 33$
dont do it

you can hedge to guarantee profit, i would do it if 100$ is a big bet for you, if not you let it ride
if you hedge you can lock up 80$ profit, if you don't you either win 225 or lose 100

he can hedge to reduce losses

yeah, exactly. so it's either +$225 if Giants win , -$100 if Giants lose, or hedge for guaranteed $80 no matter who wins.

lol tough one.


as for the OP, if I was in your situation I would probably hedge out because I personally think Giants roll tonight...but of course anything can happen, If I was THAT confident I wouldn't be thinking of hedging my own bet.

it all depends on how much your original bet is

[BigDeem5]

Let the fuker ride.

[RudyRuetigger]

you want to hedge a -190 bet made a week ago with -130 today?

[Iwinyourmoney]

I would hedge just to make what you have invested back

iwin, just out of curiosity, was math your strong SUITE in high school???

[pdubb86]

All those people telling you to "hedge" are just Giants backers tonight.

In September I bet $200 to win $2,800 on the Cardinals to win the NL. At this point I believe the Giants are going to win the NL. Why wouldn't put $1,000 - $1,500 on the Giants at this point?

"Never hedge". Please explain yourself.

Dude got in at -190, you got in at +1400.
Of course you should hedge at this point, but the dude at -190?
Helllllllllllll no.

I think you could make a profit out of it if you got them at good odds. I have a friend that has the Cardinals at 15-1 at the start of the year and he put $20 on it. So if I was him I would put $50 on the Giants to cover himself. Then he wins either way.

[yisman]

Let it ride.

I have 210 to win 275 on giants, should I hedge wjth cards at plus money and guarantee profit?

Let it ride unless $210 is a large amount for you.

[LizReed44]

The Cards have just stopped hittin' and Uncle Mo has clearly left town. I'd pull the plug and live to fight another day.

Good luck whatever you decide zoo.......

[Trojan]

Dont hedge. If you cant figure out why, quit gambling because you will end up living in a box under a bridge with Fishhead

[HOT WINGS]

I would hedge Giants going to win tonight.

SUITE? Was English yours?

[BettingWizard]

It's an SBR joke. jjgold says suite.

I would agree that you usually can do better with individual games but this is not why.
