On the pats myself, though I am and always will be a strong supporter of the hedge. gl :toast:
Depending upon how big your parlay was....but I am a big believer in having a bird in hand which is the position you are sitting in.....walk away with a profit no matter the outcome.....GL

How much is your parlay ?
Although the hedge is a smart move, I am against it. You played a parlay for a reason......because you wanted the big payout if you hit it. Now you have an opportunity to do that and you're going to back away? If your inclination is to hedge, then you probably shouldn't play parlays anymore.
With that said......it is only my opinion and how I would approach it. There certainly is nothing wrong with guaranteed money...........

Hedge at least enough to get your original bet back. Not very smart to at least not do that. :0008

ones existing bankroll in that sport should be a factor..
ya up 40 units..
maybe let it ride..
down a little or up just a few and want the positive units added to the bankroll.
then hedge..
there is nothing wrong with middle opportunities as well..
it's never as cut and dry and never hedge..
the player who doesn't fund his account all the time is the one who uses money management
without it ya just another person feeding the kitty month in month out ..year in year out.
good luck..

Why didn't you make it a 5 team parlay if you were just going to hedge and lose value?
You should only hedge if you think the new bet is +EV.

Simple. You put yourself in a position to win big
100 bet
Hedge for a grand.
Win 800
Or 2910
Whatever who wouldn't take a nice payout:shrug:
Or hedge for half. Either way getting paid trumps wishing you did. To each their own...

You are giving away your edge. If he wanted to hedge, he should have played a 4 team parlay.

The point is you are throwing away more juice to just dump the last game in the parlay. If you wanted to chicken shit your way out of it, you should never have added the last game in. You lose money that way. Now if it is a life changing parlay, sure you could eat the extra money and hedge out. But if your plan was to hedge, don't add the last fucking game on.
