Not Sure If I Should Put A Couple Hundred On Oakland To Atleast Cover My Bet If It Loses.

I don't believe in hedging. If you keep doing this over time, you're better off just playing the games straight.


My opinion.

I always feel it's worth it to throw a little on the opposite side...
It just makes me "feel" better...may not be "worth" it

Never cover up myself as I would be thinking i becoming a bad capper if I keep doing it! It pays off to cover up sometimes but alot does make you wonder about your decisions. But hey! Good luck:103631605

I'm often tempted to cover my original risk in such a

situation but as I have pointed out before, each bet
should stand on it's own merits; if you thought that
Oakland was a reasonable play why did you make
this reverse?

Best of luck in whatever you decide!:103631605

You made the bet because you liked it so stick with it. If you made the bet thinking you would be able to hedge then go for it,

To me its the same as having a four team parlay with 3 of the teams in and you bet opposite on the last team......So yes I would bet 360(minimum) on the A's so if you lose you push....its like making a Bonus Bet.....LOCKING in profit....gambling is a grind and whenever you can get the chance to LOCK IN, you should IMO......yes you then cannot have that MONSTER day, but I'll take multiply winning days instead of one large day.

If you din't want to bet this parlay then you should have bet the games separately.

Wagering 1/6th of the original 2 team parlay with one winner already in the books is a lot different than wagering the whole profit of the two teamer

This normally works better (hedging) when its 3 team + but I understand where he is coming from
