Never hedge more than the bet. Giving the books exactly what they want. Does not make any sense. If your going to make the sucker bet (parlay) and you have one left why would you not go for it. Get your bet back and free roll. Bookies dream the guy who hedges!

DankSmoker · Jul 30, 2008

SD up already. lol

DankSmoker · Jul 30, 2008
