Can/Should I hedge this parlay?

[Dad]

I already hit 3 out of the 4 plays yesterday. The Marlins game is today.

Should I just let it ride?

Put 50 on Cincy, worst is break even - think they are even odds right now. If your goal is to get positive units, hedging is smart. If you want a bigger score, let it ride. GL Dad.

Thanks Mr. Eagles.

hedging might only make sense if this is the only parlay you have ever or will ever play. Otherwise , think about all the parlays that you lose without getting to the last game. Parlay odds are what they are for a reason. By hedging when you get to the last game and are alive you are making the long term parlay odds you are up against even worse.

Thanks Mr. Silver.
