I've got $1100+ to win $1900+ on the Marlins to win the NLCS, placed before the series began.

(First of all, it boggles the mind that the series line is now +700 on the Marlins to win the series! That's an enormous line! I understand the power of Wood and Prior at home, but c'mon...7 to 1 odds?! That seems a little generous. In baseball, anything can happen.)

...and yet, it seems apparent that the Marlins will not win. It's funny, EVERYONE seems to have already granted the series to the Cubs. People seem to forget that games 6 and 7 are yet to be played...it is the early end of the curse.

In any event, to hedge or not to hedge? The lines on the Cubs (-260 or so) are obscene...but I figure if I put down $2700+ on the Cubbies to win tonight, I break even on my Marlins series bet. If the Marlins win the next two games, I end up a few hundred. Of course, worst case scenario would be Marlins winning tonight and Cubbies coming back tomorrow...that would cost some $3700. If I did play the Cubs tonight, and they lost, I'd unload on them tomorrow, ensuring something close to a split if the Marlins won game 7.

I dunno. I'm not gonna play anything, I don't think..just hope for the Fish. What would y'all do?

I was in the same situation with Bosox @ A's Gm5...I didnt hedge , but that was the last game...the Fish could pull it off tonite ...hope for the Fish, they hit Prior pretty well last time even though they lost....it is a tough choice. That worse case senario could happen too...I wouldnt hedge...Good luck
