    Parlay hedge question

    Lets say i parlay 3 favorites and it pays out big

    should make small individual bets on each of the 3 underdogs incase one of
    them messes up my parlay???


    i got 1 hour of sleep last night so i'm not thinking straght. does this make sense to hedge in this way?

    give us some numbers. how much did you lay and what are the 3 prices?

    but ideally, no. its not a smart move.

    I have a 5 team open parlay. So far I have 2 winners Texas Rangers on Monday and Dodgers on Tuesday. I need 3 more to cash out. It is $100 parlay.

    so far it pays $100 . But I am thinking of adding Tigers ML, Red Sox ML , and Angels ML today. which would pay $839 if all 3 win...

    so i was thinking about doing that and betting $50 each on Blue Jays ML and Rays ML since they are the early games...

    If you play 3 games...make 2 of em early and the third one a late heavy favorite (-190+) so you can get +170 on the underdog etc.

    ok so you put $100 on a parlay. if you put $50 on 2 teams to hedge the parlay, one of them (either the parlay or hedge play) has to lose.
