In other words lets say you are getting +10 in hoops for the game and are up 9 at the half straight up and 19 with points, will you bet the other side in the 2nd half of that game lets say if 2nd half is -7?

You can still win both bets.

I do. Though not always easy it feel it is the right thing to do.

Absolutely not. I dont want to lose the equity in the first bet usually.

But then again, I dont hedge any bets at all

If it's a good play, yes. Otherwise, why do it?

I say you have to treat each bet indiviually. You cant worry about what other bets you have. It will work itself out in the longrun.

Sometimes, other times I'll bet more on the original side.

The second bet would have to be +ev.
