I&#x27;ve posted this same advice numerous times before and it remains unchanged because it is solid:&#xA;*IF* you are a well documented proven WINNER, consistently year after year, in a given sport, then the odds of you winning the last leg of your parlay are already in your favor for the big payoff - so don&#x27;t hedge, let it ride in all similar situations.&#xA;BUT .... if you are not a consistently PROVEN winner year after year in that sport, then HEDGE!!!!!

Bet Green Bay -5.5&#xA;And pray they win by 6 points exactly.&#xA;You would cover on both bets (middle) and you get hedge exposure in case the giants don&#x27;t cover.  Definitely hedge and guarantee a profit.  GL.&#xA; &#xA;I have done this on a few parlays on the last leg/s.

Yep Id take GB -5.5 for $125. Guaranteed to over $260 or at worst $100. With a slight chance of winning both if it falls on GB by 6. BOL

Every scenario is unique but my basic rule of thumb is usually this:

#1 You made the bet expecting it to win correct? What has changed to make you think it will no longer win?

#2 is the amount of money life changing TO YOU, everyone’s different? If not then what the reason for wanting to take less on a bet you originally thought would win?

My experience: have confidence in your last pick and don&#x27;t hedge. Hedge bets almost never pan out.&#xA;Good luck!
