Hedge?
Or stand tall, like a brave gambling warrior?

Her opponent is +220. Hedge away!

I definitely hedged. Kanepi is good but she is a relatively unknown commodity. Her game is power, power and more power. On clay, that doesn't really work.

I hedged up to what my entry point was on the rest of the round robin.

You pointed it out in your summary of the round robins. Kanepi is part of 127 different bets in this whole thing. So, in theory, they all are, right? In order to do very well, you have to hit them all. You can make money winning most, but you have to win the -120 types, and those aren't really the ones to put into these.

I am a numbers guy, accounting nerd. I was able to hedge for such small dollars that it is risk for the sake of risk if I didn't hedge it out.

I usually start with $100 and I usually don’t rebet any winnings. I had to reuse the $22.50 voucher. Wasn’t able to stay for Turf Paradise Race 9- but I nailed the 7-5-8 and will collect north of $120 for that race as well. It woulda been $200+ but my dumb ass was rushing before post and put in a 5-7-8 tri. I miss the OTB!!!

Bet Rays ML every game against KC. Cmon for the sweep!

[AlexHunter]

On the way to the OTB again.



Did this little diddy and would be a nice little start to the day. I just couldn’t bring myself to double the ticket to add the 3/5 favorite in race 5 so let’s go Battle Station!!!

Shoulda hedged with the favorite in the pick 4. Oh well the win hedge bet covers the pick 4 and a little extra.

Even if you’re not into horse racing, this is an offer I always run full cards on. Bet any horse to win any race this Saturday at pimlico or golden gate. If your horse finishes place or show- you get your bet back as a push up to $10!!!

Even if you just pick the favorite in each race and let it ride it’s hard to lose money with this kind of special!

This might be a dumb question, but would anyone in here transfer $50 to me on Bovada and I'll Paypal you $50? For some reason my deposit won't go through

Novak hasn't been Novak this clay season.

Nadal has been Nadal this clay season. I wish they did a Nadal vs. the field bet on Draft Kings.

This Ayton on the suns is a loser.

I keep picking tye knicks because they are the dog in every game. Randle is legit and this #9 can shoot. I guess I will just keep taking the money if it's there to be taken.

That was a nice run by the Knicks. Bet on each game after you alerted about the win streak other than last night because I bet on Phoenix all the time so I felt like I couldn’t win either way lol. You the man

I put my entire $214.59 bankroll on the Padres ML. Have a bunch of other $5-$20 bets tonight too. Haven’t had a fun night like one of these in a while.

I don't pay much attention to baseball. Are the Padres supposed to be good this year? Didn't they load up on pitching?

I believe they signed 3 starters? They got a bunch of hitting and that Tatis guy has been crushing it.

I’m sure they’ll get blown out but it was worth a shot.

[Josh611]

Anyone else take the boost on Draft Kings for Tebow to catch a TD pass from Trevor Lawrence? I put $5 on it. Sounds like a good story and it makes sense. There are wayyy worse things to blow $5 on. Odds were +1500

[Josh611]

Yankees run line has been fantastic last 2 days against the tigers.

They may suck but at least I can count against winning money against my tigers

[Josh611]

Looking like the Yankees can run it back again today.

Also did Lakers -7.5 against Toronto. Didn’t seem like many points with Lebron back with one game under his belt.
