Please Help ASAP (Parlay Hedge)

Young_City · Aug 31, 2007

So I placed the following wager, and since Wakefield did not pitch today and I had his listed as a starting pitcher I still have a good chance of hitting this parlay (if BC covers in a CFL game). Now my question would be to correctly hedge this parlay should I bet BC's opponent (Montreal) at -3?

Thanks in advance guys.

Yes, if everything else won.

I don't see Wake as listed pitcher in this parlay. I know you only have a few minutes.

Young_City · Aug 31, 2007

Thanks Doug.

Actually Wake is listed on the parlay. I know its kinda hard to read but its on the 9th line.

Doug · Aug 31, 2007

You could also gamble a bit, and wait until halftime, hope for a lead, and maybe win the hedge and parlay.

I wouldn't hedge it, it depends on how important a couple hundred is to you. No opinion on CFL game.

Honestly, $100 is not a great deal of money to me. But I put $100 on Montreal +4.

Either way hopefully I'll have some extra cash so I could gamble with another parlay tomorrow

.

Thanks though for your quick reply.

Cheers!

I see it now, I was looking too quickly because time was short. What did you do ?

you mean -4

Not great to have the hedge with -4 and +3.

Young_City · Aug 31, 2007

Sorry, it was -4...my mistake.

You don't have it truly hedged with the point difference. If Mont wins by 4, you push the hedge and lose the parlay. If Montreal wins by 3, you lose the hedge, and parlay is only 8 teams. Worst case is Montreal by 4, Montreal by 3 would be a profit. You need Montreal by 2 or less, or BC to win.
