Hedging like a little bitch.

[somethingrandom]

I have a friend who stands to collect $471 if Hawthorn wins, $450 if the Bulldogs win and $1386 if they both get up for a total of $2307. His outlay on the 3 bets was only $150. He told me that if he loses both he will stew over it all summer and is considering hedging. What would be the best way (for my friend) to go about this?
The best odds he has seen are:
Sydney Swans $2.80 (+10.5@$2.10)
Melbourne Storm $1.80
My friend would appreciate any suggestions.

I'd let it ride.

I can't do maths.

$471 on Sydney @$2.80. If Hawthorn win 'your friend' will be in line for the $2300 and you can put $700 on Melbourne. If Sydney win you have $1300 and still a chance of another $400+.

Bitch.

*Edit - Also $20 on the Draw.

Just simply multie swans and storm for $100 at 5.04 - then whatever happens to get at least 470-500 - $350 profit and can't lose !

2 Chances of a return rather than needing both legs for all or nothing= let it ride.

Yeah right, like that'll ever happen in a grand final.

Let us know what you(r mate) decide(s) to do.

Why do i get the feeling somethingrandom is talking about himself and not a so called mate!! Threads that always start with " I have a mate " are 90% dead set about themselves!

Good luck anyway whoever the hedging is for!!

 

[Rooster Cogburn]

I have a mate who isn't sure whether Chism read every other post in this thread.

 

[somethingrandom]

I'd let it ride.

It will ride, at least for the Hawthorn game. If that goes well I may have another look at it.

Hey guys, I have this mate who... nah F**k it. I put $75 on the hawks to win the premiership @5.3 at the start of the year which will collect me roughly $305 profit (on betfair). Would you guys recommend hedging and pacing 150 or so on the swans with a 1 point head start? or should I ride this one and out and pray for the hawks to win?

 

[Kynge of Begrem]

for a 300 pay out I would let it ride, otherwise you are going to go close to halving it. not worth it in my opinion, unless you are hard up for cash.

current ev of bet: $166
hawthorn win: +$139
sydney win: -$241

if you're happy having $241 on hawthorn leave it, if not, hedge.

 

[magpieswmb]

maybe 300 dollars each on sydney and storm at line of $1.50

 

[chookbilly]

Put $5 on the Swans into the Storm at the start of the year to win $840.
Have just hedged it with $200 on the Bulldogs, although it seems smart, I feel dirty at the same time....

Now I wish I'd been a little bitch!

 

[Footy Karma]

Unlucky.

But wasn't it your friends bet?

Did you do this ??

 

[somethingrandom]

But wasn't it your friends bet?

I supported Hawthorn... I have no friends

 

[somethingrandom]

Did you do this ??

No

 

[KardiniaPark]

BUT you had $471 on Sydney right?

(THROW UP AGAIN BITCH)
