I never have hedged before for two reasons: I don't usually play prop bets or parlays and if I do, I feel like I would kick myself for taking $$ away if I win. It's what gambling is all about, right?
Well, different story now. At the beginning of the season I put a dollar on each of the following bets:
1U Rangers over 84.5 wins -120 (win)
1U Rangers to win the west 2/1 odds (win)
1U Rangers to win ALCS 13/1 odds (win)
1U Rangers to win the World Series 25/1 odds (pending)
As you can see, I stand to win a nice amount if Texas wins the WS. However, I can hedge and secure a nice, but not quite as nice, amount.
I've already made a killing off of these bets, but I can make much more. Nobody knows who will represent the NL yet, but both teams are tight (of course). Hedge or let it ride???
Curious to hear the forum's response
