    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 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.
