Should I Hedge?

Question

I&#x27;m new to this hedging thing and wondering if I should. I have the Yankees in 5 Innings tonight. I have them in a 2 team combo/5 team round robin. The first 4 have already hit. Also have this in a single bet.If the Yanks win, I will win $392. Considering I only have $1000 in my bankroll, that&#x27;s quite a bit.&#xA0;Should I hedge with Boston 5 Innings? If so, how much?&#xA0;Would appreciate any feedback. THANKS!!!!

I agree, take the money now and run, especially given that it is a large % of your bankroll.

do not hedge..you are getting great odds on the yankees to win the 1st 5 because of your parlay. you have the numbers advantage in your favor not to mention the Sox are starting a lifelong relief pitcher tonight...good luck

Hegde a 100

That&#x27;s fine but jcf is getting 10-1 odds on a bet that if bet by itself is even money...i will take any team in that situation at 10-1 against any pitcher especially a 6th starter...no need to hedge JCF

&#xD;&#xA;In  his first post hes concerned about his 1000 dollar bank roll.  If he hedges he still get about 9-1 on his money if he still wins.  he loses he still wins 70.  Personally its not enough for ME to hedge but for him maybe it is.   GL whatever you do

Masterson is 5-0 at home as fav

I ended up not hedging. Thanks for the advice everyone. I kind of ran out of time on hedging, so not sure if I really wanted to.
