Hi OMT,
Fairly new to the forum and rescpect your picks and opinions. I was looking for some help on a current 7 team parly i have pending with the Phillies and the 0ver 8 at the last 2 reming bets. trying to figure a few ways to hegde bet or just let it roll! Any thoughts? You were highly recommended from a friend here in Philly! Good luck on your play tonite. Might throw a few dollars on that 1st inning myself.
First of all welcome to the RX. Now as to your parlay. First, congrats on hitting the first 5 of your 7 team parlay. However, the fact that your 2 remaining plays of the parlay on the same game, makes hedging extremely difficult. As you no doubt realize, if the Yankees win and the game goes Over the total, the parlay is busted and if the Phillies win and the game goes Under, the parlay is also busted. Now, if you bet on the Yankees and the Under, you would need both of them to win even though the parlay would bust. Plus those two bets are favorites and you also could end up with the Yankees winning and the game going Over which would cost you the parlay plus juice on the straight bets. Normally, when a person bets a 7 team parlay, they are risking a small amount to win a significant amount, so I will assume that is your situation. In this particular case, if that is true, I would hold the ticket and not try to hedge, however this is an interesting situation, so I will start a thread both in the Offshore Forum and this forum to see if others have ideas. Best of luck on the parlay!
