I started out poorly with baseball so I just played some very small $ parlays today. Mostly 2-4 teamers. On the bright side most of them include 1-3 of Kc, BOS, cle (not so great on cle now, arrrgh, but anyways) These are mostly teamed with Oak and/or LA. Should I hedge and lock up a decent profit? or let it ride and hope for a score?

Hedging back a parlay at worse odds is some of the dumbest **** any bettor can do. For example, if you've got Oakland +140 in your parlay, why in the world would you bet Balt -150? You might as well have not put Oakland in the parlay. You've just reduced your payout for no reason. I know people who do these parlays with the intention of buying back at the end. Unless you're including the late game simply because you expect it to be a scalpable number later, then it makes absolutely no sense at all.

Disclaimer: I have no opinion on the particular games in question.
