Payback’s Pointers #4 – Hedging Your bets

The objective of gambling is obviously to win but it is also not to lose. One of the best strategies involved is trying to hit the middle.

For example, if you have a 5 Team Parlay going and you have won the first 4 and now you have the Eagles ML for the last Pick. You can bet the Falcons + 5 ½ and assure you cannot lose both ways but still win both ways. You need to calculate the money correctly to make sure you win either way. This is known as hedging your bet. Sometimes people do not like to do this because they are sure that their wager will win but as we all know as gamblers nothing is certain till the game is over. Sure, if in this example the Eagles win by 10 you will be annoyed but you will still win just less. The hedging does not need to be an equal split, by all means have the larger amount outcome on what you like but remember Injuries and bad calls impact games all the time so take a sure thing when you can. Nothing is worse than having a large money Parlay going to lose the last game.

This strategy ensures you will come out on top regardless which team wins if you are proficient in math.
