I have a +700 wager on the Cavs to win the East. If the wager is 1 unit to win 7 units. If I tell sportsbook I do not want to wait till May for it would they be willing to settle down for a lower amount considering their around +150 to win the East? If they accept an early settlement whats a fair price to ask? I would get back 8 units if I let it ride and wait out, is a 2.5 units a decent amount for an early settlement?

Not a chance. You that hard up?

its a C rated book and who knows if they will be around till May.

Not a chance you'd get a buyout. Only hedge would be finding a book or exchange the offers the "field." 5dimes will have it soon, probably at around -200 where you could lock in 1.7 unit profit either way.

But in terms of your C rated book offering you the money immediately, no chance. And it sounds like you wouldn't wanna hedge in a real book where your hedge could lose, and your C rated book closes up.

I doubt they would offer anything either, but maybe if you go small and offer them a buyout for a 1.5 unit profit they might say ok. I feel like you have a good shot at winning it, but if you could get a free 1.5 unit profit from just betting the Cavs on speculation Lebron would sign then I'd say that that was a good ROI for such a short time period.

There will be no "early settlement."

they wouldn't let me do it, will probably let it ride all the way at this point.

You are always able to do that on an exchange.

Thanks for the update.
