I uses to do day trades in the stock market in the late 90's and lost 14K in about I would say 4 hours time. Never ,ever played with the market again in that capacity.All money I had I moved to a mutual fund .One of the worst feelings ever in my life too. I know how you must have felf. In sports gambling I lost 4K on a few occasions per day about 5 years ago.

I never have understood why people say that you should never hedge in this type of scenario. I know some respected guys on here like Van etc. are very against it but I just do not get it.
In the gambling world guaranteed money should never be turned down in my opinion

you need to have the money and you need to have people to take the action on short notice. it was easier when the online books were normal. kind of tough now.
how's he going to get a 25,000 bet going with 30 minutes to get it in?

I went for the middle and took texas+1.5 for a few grand. hard to hedge for a lot with deposit maxes and everything unless you have a great local or are in vegas. I only had about an hour to make this decision after the 4 oclock games

I get the limitations to a hedge. the limitations with books and max bets etc. But there also seems to be a sense that hedging at all (limitations or not) is a bad idea. I do not get it,

I get what you are saying. but how about the max bet? lets say it is 3K or 5K or 8K... whatever the max bet is that still becomes guarenteed money. shit if I was in the position where someone told me that I was gambling on a game and I was either going to win 95K or 5K (approximate as it does not take into account juice) on the regardless of who won (i.e. no chance of losing) I would be pretty stoked.

20k in a matter of minutes. Used Ameritrade to try and sell a stock and then after I put the order in it kept dropping and dropping. The trade took 4 minutes to excecute for some reason. I called them bitching but never got anywhere with it. You know how they said 1 minute trade excecutions. bullshit.

Depends on size and liquidity. Was it a penny stock or something? Thinly traded stock?
