    Hedging Your Bets

    Hey fellas I just found live betting on 5dimes and It got me thinking....

    Simple scenario:

    I bet 100$ on a game that I am going to watch. After the first half of the game the team I pick is down and the pick is looking less desirable. Would a book mind if I bet the game (live) the opposite way I initially bet to hedge my pick?

    Just bet the first half instead if you want to back out 2nd half

    Pay juice once not twice

    Books will not may a sound if you hedge any bet.

    Beware of "LIVE" betting.
    I find that hedging "live" is a double-edged sword that most often
    results in cutting the hedger.

    I usually bet soccer and first half goals are so impactful. That is part of the reason it occurred to me. Thanks for the heads up fellas. Just trying to find my way.

    Yup. We always find our way back to the cashier lobby for next deposit.

    if youre always looking to hedge out of your inital bets, betting isnt for you. unless youre hitting a huge parlay on a last leg

    Overwhelming response in opposition of live betting. At least the forum can agree on something.

    no way live betting is the best u can see how a match is going and bet on it live, also those wagers are graded super fast after the game ends
