    Hedging Situation... What would you do?

    I placed a $10 bet on the Flyers at 30/1 odds to win the A10 tourney... so could win $300.

    Everyone has there own view of what a dollar is worth... currently a unit for me is $25 so that should help give you my perspective.

    Would you hedge here or just say screw it?

    I'd absolutely say screw it. That's an awesome opportunity to cash a 30/1.....but not life changing either way.

    Screw the sure, small profit from a hedge. Be a lot better to cash out the 3 bills!!

    Good luck, brother!!

    If your units are $25 I would hedge for $100,125 or 150 what ever you feel comfortable with. Why risk it?

    Seeing your unit size is $25 which my guess would mean your bankroll isn't the largest I would guarantee myself at least $100 bucks or so here.

    Sure its gambling and you should take a shot because anything can happen. But what sense does it make to throw away money won. Ask yourself the most obvious question would you rather win money or not? Hedge it out somehow and take the guarantee money.

    hedging to Richmond ML to win a unit. If dayton wins still win close to $250... good enough for me.

    Wait until half time. You may be able to hedge it with a bigger middle.
