What to do for Ecuador? Hedge?

You can take Honduras +0.5 at +150. That includes draw and Honduras win.

dont hedge

The way I would play this is secure yourself a decent profit, say $250, by playing the +.5 +150 betting $200 to win $300. Then you are still rooting for Ecuador to win it but if the game goes upside down or ends in a draw you are still up at the end.

Betting this way:

Honduras Win or Draw - Profit $250 ($300 winnings minus $50 original parlay bet)
Ecuador Win - Profit $864 ($1,064 parlay winnings minus $200 hedge bet)

Obviously do what you want but I hit Costa Rica with $100 to win over $600 earlier and already had over $400 on France and I hedged out $100 off of France just to protect some of the winnings I had made, even though France kicked ass, not regretting it at all, GREAT DAY!! Now I'm on Honduras, just in case.

Thanks lovetobet! Did decide to go that route, just glad to make some profit for more bets

No problem EMS. Haha, bet your glad you took that route if you just watched this first half as Honduras could easily be up 2-1 right now. I actually waited to bet this game till it started and got on Honduras as a live bet play as a PK +354 and I certainly think there is some decent value in that bet. Anyway, good luck and glad you took some profit and can enjoy the game and root for a big hit but know you're going to win no matter what. Not a bad feeling

No regrets. That game could have ended a draw with that missed penalty call. Would have at least help you get your money back.
Thanks again! Tried giving you points but it wouldn't let me

would have taken honduras +1 if anything if it was me well done

No worries man, I don't need points, thanks for the thought thought. Glad you got the big hit, nice job. I ended up winning almost exactly what you did off your parlay on the day from my Costa Rica win and France win less my hedge and Honduras loss so overall a nice day, no complaints. Unfortunately don't see anything I like tomorrow, probably be looking at some baseball and for a live play in soccer.

Because of the big wins I'd had early in the day I was looking for big odds plays, odds on Honduras +1 were not good enough to play for me.
