before anyone chimes in "you could've just won $800+ leaving it on the packers"
i understand that, but I made the original bet with the sole purpose of making the second bet. I wasn't sure about either team but thought the packers very well could take the lead in the game.
Anyone else out there successfully implement this strategy on a regular basis? I know the down side (bet the underdog first and they never become the favorite-7/8 times thus far I've been able to hedge live and get close to break even-one time was unable to as the game was a landslide in favor of the favorite)
sports you find most success with this strategy? Basketball has been the easiest for me. Any other tips on doing this successfully.
