    Urgent hedging advice needed - EP, shari, jnic, whoever the eff

    So, I said I wasn't going to wager till the Open next week, but I couldn't resist the odds on Stakhovsky, so I decided to make a 100 dollar wager and clean out my 5D account before the open, you know, to get rid of all the negative energy that came with that roll.

    Here's the situation: 6 teamer, 2 wins, 4 pending, 1 in play

    Stakhovsky & Benneteau hit, Haase is up a break in the first against the Canadian challenger, Isner starts at 4, Roddick at 7, and Nishikori at around 5:30. I'm obviously going to hold out until the very last minute to see what kind of shape Isner (Haase should hold on) is in, but assuming he is looking good - how much would you wager on Monaco to hedge? I'm thinking of 400-500, to secure me a profit of at least 500-600, if Monaco is to beat Nishi.


    Couldn't edit and paste on this work computer - but here is the wager.

    not to mention ..on a side note: nishikori, along with wawrinka and kohlschreiber consistently give me fits. i cap them on the wrong side ALL the time.

    I'd go smaller on Monaco, maybe $300. If you think you capped right to begin with, reward yourself with a potentially bigger payout if Nishikori wins. If Monaco wins on this amount, you'd still make a couple hundred.

    If you have to deposit again to do it... I would just hold my parlay and hope. You were trying to clean the bad karma out of the account anyway remember.

    I refuse to let it ride. Not on Nishikori. Haase wins, Isner takes the first set. Going to wait till Isner hopefully finishes it out and put a 4-spot on Monaco.

    I swear. If guys are "done" for the week with trying, why not just withdraw? This is embarassing.
