    First time ever hedging paid off - check the luck

    So I was on MLS ny redbulls +.5 live bet (even +100) for $10 (my standard unit) in like the 10th minute of the game at 0-0. They scored twice and were up 2-0 starting the second half. I was honestly tired at that point and have gotten crushed when I bet MLS in the past so decided to check the line. Philadelphia ml was +900 so I bet $2 so that I would come out $8 ahead either way. Normally this would be throwing away $2 but I was tired and just wanted to turn the game off without sweating it. I checked the score this morning and Philly came back and won 3-2. There's no point to this post just wanted to point out how crazy the MLS is and how lucky I got here. Just had to laugh checking that scoreline

    I was gonna hedge my bet with thiem and didn’t, glad I didn’t now.

    I have a parlay of: Raptors -3 /game 4(WON), Barty Women’s WTA final(WON), and Nadal Men’s ATP final (WON) that pays 14.5-1

    I also have $100 to win $1100 on Raptors winning 4-1 series. Seriously thinking about hedging the GS moneyline tonight.

    Good point

    But one thing you must do in advance, is ask yourself how pissed/upset you will be if you don't hedge, and lose, walking away with zilch.

    Yeah, the dealbreaker for me was the luck of them being up 2-0. Normally you'd never be able to guarantee yourself 80% profit of your original bet, I was just lucky an underdog went up 2-0 at halftime. Normally when hedging is possible it'd be making a tiny amount which is basically a push so people are more likely to let it ride because they placed the original bet in the first place.

    I am more pissed when I hedge and the original bet wins than I am when I don't hedge and the bet loses.

    BY FAR

    Much depends on how much money is at stake.

    I don't even think about hedging if it is a normal wager. Only when I bet over my head and I am scared shitless usually...LOL
