What the hell should I do?

Can you explain this reasoning in a little more detail? It's kind of baffling.

If the first seven do hit and he hedges the 8th, he would have been better off just playing a 7 game parlay. So you don't have to know you're going to hit the first 7 to plan ahead on the off chance you do. You just say "I'll most likely hedge the night game (8th game) if I do hit the first 7, so why don't I play a 7 game parlay instead."

Based on your logic, there is no point in planning ahead and installing a security system or buying auto insurance because you don't know ahead of time that someone is going to break into your house or that you're going to get into an accident.

In both the parlay situation and the two examples above, you're planning ahead on the off chance that a low probability event occurs in order to put yourself in the best shape if that event (7 game parlay, break in, auto accident) does occur.

I'm sure I'm gonna gets tons of hate from people that don't understand this concept, so enjoy yourselves.

Either way, congrats to the OP on hitting.

Im with you on this reasoning. They make it sound like the parley is some sort of rolling bet and you make another bet after each game wins.!?! maybe Im missing something.

Way to go Fishscale!!!!!!!

hes saying that when making a parlay and you throw an extra game that starts after all the others end and you plan to hedge that it's stupid. Just leave the extra game out and hit a 7 teamer if it does hit, as the only reason you would be hedging is if only game 8 the one that starts after all the others have finished depends on you hitting it or not.

Now if you make an 8 team parlay with all games at 1 oclock you would never ask this question as you have no opportunity to hedge.
