Gambling is marathon not a sprint.
This is exactly why you don't hedge. Because you're in it for the long haul. You don't want to cut into your long-term profits. And you DO cut into them, every single time you hedge.
Ended up only hedging for 500 last night.

New Orleans Saints -1 (-105)

I tried to hedge for more, but Bovada put a limit on the game last night. They put a green box around the game to let you know there is a limit on that particular game. I waited all the way until game time for them to take it down like they usually do but they never took it down. ("really"...a 500 dollar limit on a prime time game?") I called a friend of mine and he checked the line from his computer and told me there was no green box around that game on his computer. No wager limit from his computer but from my computer there is a wager limit. To me its pretty obvious they know I was in the position to hedge on a bet and are they are not going to allow you to get the max amount in.
Still feel fortunate because the parlay was a complete accident on my part anyway.
