I had a HUGE weekend and I still have a parlay pending with Denver tomorrow:
Pitt -3 Oak +6.5 Dal -3 Den -3
I was going to hedge but now considering getting risky and putting a large straight wager on Den -3. Thoughts on the game tomorrow?
I can see you're new here.
Piece of advice. If you are going to hedge, then just leave that last, late game off the card completely.
If you had done so you wouldn't have to hedge. You would already have your "weekend profit" and could now bet all of it or a portion of it on the late game.
Hedging comes at a price. YOU have to pay that price.
"If you are in a position to hedge, you've already made a fundamental error."

Are you saying don't hedge it because you like DEN?
No, I actually like Cincinnati in this game but I just don't believe in hedging out of parlays.
Kind of a you made your bed so you lie in it thing at this point. You are getting Denver -3 (+950) at this point, so why mess with that? If I were getting those odds I'd roll with Denver even though I like the Bengals just because of the value.

What? so don't hedge it because you have to honour your bet? screw that the point of the bet in the first place is to make money. Although i do like DEN i think you still hedge it, logical gambling is good gambling.

No, it's not good gambling at all. It's obviously too late at this point, but the better alternative would have been to leave this last game off the parlay if he was going to consider hedging. He would have won a three team parlay and would have those winnings in hand. Now he could decide if he wants to roll those winnings all on Denver, or just a portion, or none at all. The point is that he would be in control.
The worst option is to continually hedge out of parlays in order to "guarantee yourself money".

Yes, the point of the bet is to make money. So why give some of it away by hedging? You sacrifice long-term profit every time you hedge.
Ever play blackjack?
Blackjack players should NOT take insurance when it is offered, when they themselves have a blackjack. You can find this topic and the reason why in any blackjack book. But why not? If you take insurance, you're guaranteed a win! In fact, the dealer will pay you 1 to 1 immediately!
The reason why is if you DO take insurance you're basically selling your hand for less than what it is worth. More often than not the dealer will NOT have a ten in the hole. And when that happens your own blackjack will pay 1.5 to 1. Thus, you should not settle for the guaranteed 1 to 1 payout. (Of course if you're counting cards and the ratio of non-tens to tens to left in the deck falls below 2 to 1, it becomes worthwhile.)
It's the same thing when you hedge. You guarantee yourself a little something now, but if you DON'T hedge, you will make MORE money in the long run.
If you and I bet on the same teams/games, and you hedge whenever you can and I never hedge, I will very soon have more money than you. Maybe not that weekend... maybe not that month... but very soon.
