Thanks Richkas. I needed that.

Guys, this is not the first heartbreaker, and it won't be the last. A few years ago I had the Houston Rockets under I believe 50. Those bastards won the last 7 games of the season with nothing on the line. Costs me 2 grand. As Gloria Gainer would say, I will survive. Thanks for the support. 3 years ago the Cavs did the same exact thing except they won by 2 in game 82.

seaborneq, what a nasty way to lose your bet. Feel for ya man.

[smitch124]

wow tough beat, so close so many times...

[yisman]

tigers will be 3rd or fourth
this is not a good team, no pen, no heart other than granderson

cleveland or minne wins this divsion

tigers have no chance, none. lock it up

tigers, talentwise, arent in the indians league. indians have a better pen, better offense, better starters, better defense

tigers arent even a 500 team, same as last yr

twins and indians are by far the top two in that division

im telling you, cleve and minne will run away with it

The Indians finished 21.5 games out.

verlander is above average i guess

Classic ryanxl.

there are much much better bets
what are rays to win their div , what is oakland to win theirs? what about diamondbacks?

Dunno, ryan, but those teams finished 19 games out, 22 games out, and 25 games out.

the tigers are going to win 81 games at most
im telling you, unless you are some big tigers fan and want to watch them all, dont do it
they are gonna be bad. maybe last place.

rays will win their division

I said 19 games out, ryan. 19 games.

Do you have a policy to never hedge or what?

[yisman]

tough beat, seaborne.

[Rich Boy]

I heard them say this is the first time in MLB history a team with a 3 game lead blew it with 4 games left...

Dont know how many times that situation has happened, but if you parlay all the ML odds, tough shit.

Do you have a policy to never hedge or what?

Hedging is so much harder on props versus straight bets. For instance, let's say you have +500 odds on a prop and you bet 100 dollars, you are not just trying to recoup your original wager but you start to try to hedge and break even. The break even point costs a whole lot more money than a straight bet so you spend MORE money to make less. In the above example, you would have to spend at least 250 dollars to break even, which is nearly 3 times more than the original wager. In short, it does not seem feasible to hedge/chase props as it sometimes does to hedge straight bets.

So sick seaborn. Silly sick.

To be honest you could have hedged pretty easily with the one game playoff but you decided not to. As long you had the money available to do it, you should have, that's my opinion.

Based on the above example how much would you have been willing to hedge? I was not up for spending another perhaps 250-300 dollars on the ML for the play-in game just to win 100 back. Remember, the Twins -1.5 was a loser, which would have compounded my problem. But I am here to learn so tell me exactly what you would have done and then I will know if it was feasible to do it.

I would have hedged to at least get my money back from the initial bet. Do whatever you want. Best of luck in the future.

So spend 300 to win 100. It just does not make sense to spend 3 times the amount of the original wager just to get 100 back. That's just not me. If the Twins lose you win 100 dollars, because you spent 300 of your winnings trying not to lose 100 dollars. Sometimes you have to know when to hold'em and know when to fold'em. Learn when to walk away, know when to run. You have to count your money, while your sitting at the table................I think you get the idea.
