Just accidentally made a huge bet - to cancel or not to cancel

[HarryCaray]

Cubs/Cards and Dodgers/Giants were listed right next to each other at the exact same odds, like below:

Cubs +109
Cards -119

Dodgers +109
Giants -119

Of course my dumbass accidentally bet a large chunk on the Dodgers. I can try to cancel it, but I am thinking maybe this is fate and I should just let it ride.

What would you do?

like the dodgers here

 

[HarryCaray]

I should add I do kind of like the Dodgers, but don't feel comfortable laying this much against Cain...

Cancel the play entirely.

If you're not comfortable then hedge. How much you hedge depends on how much you're willing to let ride.

I like the Giants to win, so I'd cancel out, but it's all about who you like and if you're comfortable losing the amount you bet.

 

[HarryCaray]

It's not so much that it would kill me if it lost. It's about the size of my regular "large" bet (3 units out of 1-5 and most plays are 1 or 2). I like Dodgers anyway so not tooooooo worried about it.


It's riding...

Wish me luck

I'm with ya on the dodgers, GL.

I did this once in baskets. I was in a rush as it was very close to tip and bet the opposite of what I was going to bet. The side I wanted to bet on lost and I remember logging in the next day and seeing a bigger balance than before. Then I saw what happened. Worked out well for me.

This is like when you are playing craps, and you tell the dealer you want the 8 and he books the six instead....And you don't see it to a minute later. Do you to him to move it?

If you move it, guarantee the six comes up about 8 times.

"It lays, it plays" ....ride it.

Congrats on the win!

 

[HarryCaray]

Thanks guys, glad it worked out.

3 units Dodgers + 3 units Cubs = happy day for me.

I always like to hedge with a runline when I make a mistake, or buy points in other sports and try a middle there.
