i did a parlay with tennessee titans in first half and marlins +190 tonight...i want to play this one conservatively as i am having doubts on the marlins. any advice? or should i just ride it out? would it be totally stupid for me to hedge with the yankees on the run line? (so i might lose both)

is it stupid to play the yankees in the first five as a hedge?

scenario 1: lock in a $390 profit by betting $1,860 on the Yankees ML at -209 (Pinnacle) ... looking at others now

scenario 2: bet $1,050 on the Yankees ML at -209, if the Yanks win, you break even, if they lose, you cash a profit of $1,200

forget putting bets down where you can lose both - I personally will never expose my bankroll to that unless the possibility is so slim

scenario 3: let it ride, then if the Yanks get a lead, hedge out in in-game betting to avoid losing the whole amount

GL, but you have to realize that these bets are not hedges - they are additional bets which could all be lost in addition to the original wager. I just got back in, didn't mean to reply so late.
