Have Celtics for $500 at +240 for series. Haven't played anything else on series. Doesn't look like the cavs can win in Boston but afraid of lebron just taking over. Would you hedge series price now or just let it ride?

Let it rideComment -
That's my first instinct. Then again I'm very drunk at the momentComment -
maybe take cavs ml to win 500 next game and free roll game 7. cavs are going to take care of business at home we all know this. -400 mb tho. 2000 to win 500 and sit back and enjoy game 7Comment -
Clev now is + 160 to win series. Play Cavs 350/560.
Celts win series you pocket 850
Cavs win series you pocket 60.

Cavs are DINERComment -
BG sound advise. But do you think Boston wins? I'm leaning that way.Comment -

Yes, I do think they will win. But why try to outsmart the math?Originally posted by beavis13
The games still have to be played and anything can happen but the math is etched in stone.Comment -
Do not hedge. Why would you make the bet in the first place if you were up 3-2 with home court? The only reason you should hedge is if this is very financially significant which i would hope $500 is notComment -
I've always been a strict anti-hedger. Let it ride.Comment -

Well I never would've taken the Celtics in the first place. I'm sure the NBA would love nothing better than this series to ride out to 7 games. And lastly, King James can certainly command Cleveland to a Game 7 win on the road if anyone can. It wouldn't hurt to hedge, lol.
But if you're all about the Celtics & want the pleasure of an all or nothing victory, ride it out.
So my answer to your question is.....it depends. Depends on what you ultimately believe in (you believe in King James or you believe in the young Celts?) & what kind of reward you need or loss you're willing to put up with.Comment -
I only hedge when it's big money
personally i would let this ride
but if losing 500 is gona ruin u.... hedgeComment -

penny betComment -
If you overbet your bankroll with this wager then I would definitely hedge. The amount of risk/reward is up to your personal preference.
One example would be to take Cavs for the series (I currently see +165 at 5D) for $300 to win $495. This would turn your risk of $500 to win $1200 bet into risking $5 to win $900.
Of course you could choose any combination that you feel comfortable with and fits your bankroll. Good luck!

Very little value in hedging your bet. You must have figured the Celtics would win the series.
Let it ride. GlComment -
Because you put yourself in a no lose situation,obviously. It’s still a nice payout % wise if your original bet hits.Originally posted by ChiLLxComment -
Again that word “ value” is used out here. I don’t know if this a routine amount for this guy or not so that would come into play for sure, but the “ value” is putting yourself in a position to win with no negative side.Originally posted by clockwise1965
If it’s chump change to him or to everyone as people are letting in , then 350 off the take isn’t a big deal.Comment -
I agree with Boston. Gambling is about playing percentages and increasing your odds. You have a chance to guarantee a winner, and the Boston bet would still pay almost 2U (assuming $500 is 1U) if you do it like Boston mentioned. Just my thoughts. Sure it looks like Boston will run away with it, but with the LeBron factor and you never know when an injury will hit. Plus, you seem to be awfully confident it'll go 7 games, once you get there, anything can happen.Comment -
Be a man, let it ride. A game 7 in Boston will be pick 'em odds, but it mightn't go that far. The same people that assumed the Cavs would sweep the Celtics are sure game 6 will be another route. This is a clumsy assumption.

That’s your theory to money management and taking a sure profit by saying “ Be a man , let it ride”. Lol.. ok, good luckOriginally posted by IBetYouBe a man, let it ride.

As most people know bookies offer unfair odds. If you bet both sides then you're a mug. If he needs money to finance other bets or whatever then that's another matter. But either way you're letting you're bookie off the hook by going to that happy place.Comment -
So if Cleveland ends up winning then who let who off the hook.Originally posted by IBetYou
Surely you are not naive enough to think that one can predict the outcome of a sporting event on two teams that have played each other evenly. No?Comment -
good luck with whatever you do. appears it will go 7 all Bronny needs is the right refs in a Game 7.Comment -
You have to think long term... It's a losing strategy long term. What will you do the next time you have a promising bet? Same thing again? That's ridiculous.Comment -
youre betting peanuts. let it ride.Comment -
lol at the non pros saying $500 isn't a big bet when they can't give $100 to charity. Sad!Comment -
I would hedge to break evenComment -

Completely agree, and not sure why I am not pro yet.. I bet 50,100,150 and those are sizeable amounts for me even though I make good money.. I am just not disciplined when it comes to betting..Come from Europe where i bet since i was a little kid and have no bankroll management and betting crazy sometimes..lose 2000$ in matter of 2 days lol... But half of the forum seems like they are betting thousands on each play lol.. 500 is a big bet but probably I wouldnt hedge it either now... Good luckOriginally posted by phinfan27615Comment
