Hedging Scenario - Advice please

[747planes]

Okay so I did a 2 team parlay for

Seahawks ML -160 over 49ers
and
NY Giants +1 at +110 over Panthers

its $400 to win $958

now i'm starting to get nervous about the Giants vs Panthers game and it does not help that i'm seeing 95% of bets coming in on the Giants...

so my thought was to bet $275 on
Carolina -1 to win $250

that way worst case scenario i only lose $150 and if Giants win i still win $683

what do yall think ???

If you are a long term bettor who does it properly with proper bankroll and money management, never pussy out and hedge to get some sure money. You lose value.

I'd wait until half time and hope Giants are up a Touch down, then take -3 or whatever the panthers line is and hope to cash it both.
I would never hedge a 2 team parlay...on the other hand if this was a 3 or 4 team parlay (and obviously the last leg) its totally different, I'd hedge without a doubt.

i went into the game with this plan..

needless to say it was 17-0 before i could blink an eye...


i was feeling so down and blue yesterday. Such a bad mood after a
loss like this. It's hard to stay confident after being so wrong about a
game and then not hedging like i had thought about doing..

oh well i swear every single time i hedge .. i end up winning the bet

and when i dont , it never fails to lose.

as a gambler we have to be prepared to lose and not let it effect our day.

its important to always look at the glass as half full.
