That is the question.
I have the following bets, and I have not yet hedged at all:


310112455-35/19/15 8:49pm$200.00$338.00Pending5/19/15 9:05pm NHL Hockey 681 Chicago Blackhawks (Series) +169*vs Anaheim Ducks (Series)
310002604-15/18/15 6:45pm$200.00$1,508.00Pending5/18/15 8:05pm Hockey NHL Stanley Cup Final matchup - Tampa Bay Lightning vs Chicago Blackhawks +754
304539557-14/17/15 6:30pm$200.00$1,300.00Pending4/17/15 7:05pm Hockey NHL Eastern Conference - Tampa Bay Lightning +650

Any opinions welcome. I think we call know that Game 7s are a crapshoot and pretty well a flip of the coin, as wild stuff can happen. Would you hedge any of these? All of them?

Obviously if both win it's a decent chunk, and will bump my BR by about 30%, so it's a significant amount. Maybe just hedge the Tampa game since the payout is much larger? FWIW I think both Tampa and Chicago win their game 7s, but both are on the road, and, well, as a Leafs fan I know about insane things happening in single-game eliminations...

Thoughts?

You'd bet against Lundqvist in a Game 7??? Get all that ya want, I'll get the popcorn and watch.

Didn't hedge last night so banked the $1300 and going to let the other 2 bets ride tonight with no hedges. It's not make-or-break money, and I made the bet cause I thought they'd win the series. Going to be a great game - Go Hawks!

Never have been a fan of hedging unless something dramatically changed in the series (i.e. player injury). Admire your position.

The Hawks have been here before and had great success, the Ducks not so much. The Hawks go back to another Final before the team starts to break apart due to the money cap.

Best of luck Feedz; riding with you.

Thanks for the support guys. I did ride them out, and I'm obviously glad I did!
