    How would YOU hedge this parlay? Help Inside

    This is tentative, and not all these games are OVER / winners. Though I have a game in my parlay starting at 10 and am considering hedging out of it. What would you do?

    (955) Philadelphia Phillies -190* Wed@7:05p (WIN)
    (978) New York Yankees -170* Wed@7:05p (WIN)
    (980) Los Angeles Angels -140* Wed@7:05p (WIN)
    (4) Detroit Red Wings -160 Wed@7:05p (WIN)
    (6) Washington Capitals -175 Wed@7:35p (WIN)

    Help hedge below: Game begins at 10:05 so kind of time sensitive ... my two tennis games are huge favorites

    (8) Vancouver Canucks -170 Wed@10:05p
    Ferrer, D -700 Thu@4:30a
    Federer, R -800 Thu@7:30a
    Risk US$ 25.00 to win US$ 628.00*

    dont even start thinking of hedging when you have so many game that aren't even close to decided. If you're that quick to start hedging dont bet parlays.

    All of the games will be settled by 10 PM, I just was curious if there was a way to hedge out the last 3 IF I won as I would only have aprox 5 minutes to make a decision.

    5 parlays on $25 isn't worthless, tho I know most people don't look in threads under a nickel wagered.

    Either way, Caps are losing so moot point.

    Tough one. Normal hedge would be $200 on Chicago ML, but I know if you'll be in the position

    Well caps tied... angels are poised to win in extras.

    Too late to hedge the canucks game.

    Either way... BOL to me

    Hey guys! Sorry to keep bumping this

    But the only games I have left are

    (8) Vancouver Canucks -170 Wed@10:05p (UP 2-0)
    Ferrer, D -700 Thu@4:30a OPP = +500
    Federer, R -800 Thu@7:30a OPP = + 600

    Would you guys do anything about the tennis tomorrow?

    I was dumb to even add the tennis... will not do so in the future

    With Vancouver up 2-0 right now after 2 periods...I like your odds for the morning tennis. If you still want to hedge...why don't you put $50 on each dog. Even if the parlay hits, it'll only cost you $100 off your profits. If one of the dogs win, you'll make money. Either way, you'll be walking away with +225, +275 or +528

    Great situation to be in. I'd trade $100 of extra profit for a guaranteed +225 or +275 (or more if they both pull massive upsets)

    Or....LET IT RIDE!

    without even looking at who their 2 opponents are tomorrow in the ATP, I would absolutely hedge to assure yourself a nice profit, especially with the French Open upcoming, players sometimes bow out early in the smaller tourneys leading up to a major, just my IMO.

    Why not just bet a 3 or 4 team parlay if you were planning on hedging anyway??

    With those odds, just hedge out of Ferrer. I have doubts he'll win, anyway.

    Yeah... I realized I made a mistake. I never bet parlays often and decided what the hell. I just went with a bunch of favorites that looked good and adding the tennis players increased the payout. I realize now it is more of a hassle and I was unhappy with the decision
