2:1 meaning $2 to win $1? If that's the case then you'd have to take a massive loss to hedge it out. At -140 and -150 STL would be +185 to win the series now; Hou -200. Betting -200 both ways means you basically lose half your original wager either way. Sorta like surrender in blackjack. Do you feel how you would as if you had a 16 vs. a 10 face?

At this point in the series, there really isn't a whole lot you can do for Game 6 except hide the newspapers so the Cardinals will stop reading about how great they are. They're a good team. Far from a great team. I still hope they get to the World Series so I can bet against them. They would get drilled by either the Red Sox or the Yankees.

But back to your question. All you can really do is hope the Cardinals win Game 6 and then see what and if you want to bet on the Astros in Game 7.

Actually it depends on who is pitching for game 6.

If it is Clemens I would say Hedge on Game 6.

If it someone else.. Wait until game 7

baseball guy, I was thinking the same thing. Hopefully, Clemens won't pitch Game 6.
