bit of a dilema ..? little help here

wowstrongpick · Oct 23, 2008

ok so i got a guy thats down 350 for the past week ( payouts are friday ) and so far he lost the first leg of his reverse with ohio but still has auburn with it .. so regardless its a loss its just how much he will lose. Now he has another reverse with AirForce and Auburn big .. should i hedge with another bookie just to save myself if auburn and air force.

like instead of getting beat for around 3k should i put in a security bet with another bookie ..?

As long as he's good for it, no need to hedge.

true .. i know hes good for it ..I just dont want to have the big payout for him if he hits this 500.00 reverse he got going on thats all .. so should i place a bet to secure it or just let it ride and hopefully he'll go 1-1 or 0-2

The best answer is can you absorb either outcome without really hurting your bottom line?

i think you need to make sure that you set limits that you are comfotable with and you should not need to sell off one guys play. you need to have a big enough bank roll to match the amount of clients and their limits.

i can see if you have 30 clients and they are all on one play, sure hedge off, but if you are only bookin for a couple people you gotta analyze if its worth it.

i used to put bets in for a few people, then i started holdin them and it was more work than it was worth and it fucked with my betting stategies.

just my opinion, but i would just stop booking.
