So I'm up 3450 this week.. I placed a small live bet on atl and cubs under 5.5 @ +148.. 250 to win 370.. this was in the 5th inning score was 2-0.. top of 7th inning live bet was over 5.5 +235.. 250 to win 587. Atl pitching was lights out.. end of 7th inning no longer had over at 5.5 it went to 4.5.. but lots of times in these situations I hedge so I can't lose.. if I hedged I either win 120 or 337..
If I don't hedge I either lose 250 or win 370.. I figured 3 runs to spare with 3 innings left isn't a bad bet.. but as you saw cubs got 3 runs bottom of 8th. 3-2 still had a chance to win if cubs shutout atl which they did for 7 innings.. but cubs gave up a run and tied it 3-3 and I lost my wager.. call it bad luck or what not.. how many of you guys would have hedged it?? Avail only top of 7th inning.. score is 2-0.. over under 5.5..
I look at it now and I should have hedged.. but I honestly didn't think this game would go over and thought of instead of winning 370 over 120.. if I hedged id be rooting for the over.. to win 337..
Of course I could have hedged to cover my losses.. risk about 110 to win 250 and either win 260 or break even.. which is probably the smartest bet of all.. but I'm also up well 3200 instead of 3450 now.. goal was 4k this week and quit.. now I may just sit on 3200..
What would you have honestly done.. not knowing the outcome.. I've been sportsbetting for a long time..
