Question

So I need Englnad to advance to close 2 parlays totalling $800.

When I say advance they just need to advance in any way at any point of the game. So how should I hedge this? I dont hedge much so I am wondering what the best way to play this is. I know taking Germany to advance is the most logical for say $200.

Any thoughts?

I would take Germany&#x2B;0.5 and hope for England extra time goal (or penalty kicks)

NIce then I can win both as long as it goes to OT

Ended up putting 2 units on Germany to advance -102&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;1 unit on the draw &#x2B;204&#xD;&#xA;1 unit on England &#x2B;171&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;Lets go England!

no offense intended... but why add something to your parlay if you intend to hedge it? all you are doing is paying more juice.

??&#xD;&#xA;I am making sure I make money.  If England advances I hit the parlays which were the original wagers.  I then bet on Germany to advance and draw and England on the ML.  NOw I have all three options and best case scnerio is Englnad winning in reg time ot OT.&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;I dont understand your staement 9wings

im saying that if you left England off your parlays, you would have already won and wouldn&#x27;t have to now wager on BOTH sides of a game in order to get your cash.

?&#xD;&#xA;Ya thanks but thats not the case these parlays were made 2 days ago so that option isnt available.  I had Uruguay to advance, HOnduras Swiss tie, and a tennis match Brands over Hanescu.  The other was Honduras &#x2B;1, Uruguay and England to advance.

I&#x27;m just trying to educate you on the nature of parlays, as i see people doing this all the time and not understanding the mathematics behind it.. Unless the games are happening simultaneously, then there is no reason to parlay them. All a parlay is is betting on one game, then rolling your original bet &#x2B; winnings on the next game and so on. If you knew a few days ago that you wouldn&#x27;t want to have $800 riding on England, you should have just played the games all separately, rolling whatever amount of the original winnings you felt comfortable with.
