I don't really understand what you are trying to do

Do you have tonight's game in a parlay?

if you are considering buying off your previously made plays, then I wouldn't unless you don't plan on playing anymore. Just stay consistent with the same amount wagered per game

hum...i am up two units from todays wagering. There is one remaining bet outstanding, that being the Philly/Atl game. This one remaining bet is worth 2 units. Was wondering thoughts regarding if i hedge this last wager then i am assured a positive day. If not then i would risk a "even" day.

you didnt tell us what the play was so how could we help you?

and that is not really hedging, hedging is in a parlay or teaser or series play where you take the opposite of the last game you need just to make sure you earn something

Thanks all for comments. Was trying to use a concept that is used with Option trading. It is sometimes called/referred to as hedging. This is accomplished when a call and a put is bought above and below the present stock price. This will limit the exposure to profit and loss. At the same time it usually will assure a small profit. With a small profit already in the bank, made the decision to bet the other side of the sunday night baseball game.

The original play was taking Atl and the over. Took the other of both bets. Again thanks for all the comments.
