---- Last night you could have all cleaned up on the Grand Slam Parlay ( 4 or 5 teamer depending on how you individually played it ) … EVEN THOUGH THE YANKEES LOST !!! I’ll explain why . File this one under the category of “ Advanced Hedging Techniques “ ….
The Mets won in the afternoon . Baltimore ML , Toronto RL and Arizona RL were all leading at 10:00 PM EST …. With a little foresight you could have made a straight 100 bet on SEATTLE +175 creating the opportunity for a nice pay out regardless. On a 50 fazool 5 teamer, 475 is returned. If the Yanks lose you lose 50 for the parlay but earn 175 on Seattle =+ 125. If the Yanks win you earn 475 less 100 for the Seattle loss = +375
HoweverThere Was One Glitch …. if Baltimore or Toronto or Arizona get rallied on and go down you lose both 50 and 100 … But we’ve already won a bunch yesterday before The Yankee Game started. It’s a judgment call on your part.
If you were riding a 4 teamer instead of a 5 then you’d have scaled down the Seattle bet accordingly.
If your parlay was 200 for 1000 +/- of course the Seattle hedge would have been larger should you choose to hedge at all.
The above was not the most ideal situation to hedge .Grand Slam Hedging is most effective when your games are staggered throughout the day and evening … with the last game starting AFTER the 1st 3 final scores have already been determined. College football and basketball are the most ideal sports for this on a Saturday when games start at Noon and continue all the way into the following morning. Try to maneuver so that the 1st 3 games are in the bank and you have the clear cut option to guarantee a payout by wagering on the other side of the late game 4th leg or letting it ride for the jackpot. Hell with line changes theoretically you can even MIDDLE the whole damn thing. Think of it .
I’ve hit 3 legs of a Grand Slam a few times and I’ve always hedged the 4th game . I’ve created can’t lose situations where I could either win 3,000 or win 1,500 . I just feel that if the 1st 3 have won then I deserve a guaranteed payment. BTW it’s a good thing I hedged because I would have lost most of those parlays.
Note that if either of the 1st 2 games lose it’s important not to chase … just accept the parlay loss .. you can certainly make it up in other ways.
----- On a different note altogether … I’m older that most of you guys … I soooo envy you I really do …. but I see there is a lot of bile spewing about Giambi and Mesa and you have good reason. But please try to avoid letting yourselves get upset over STRANGERS. Becoming even remotely involved with teams and their mercenaries clouds business judgment. Treat THEM as statistics only … they should all mean nothing to us on a personal level. If you were down on your luck and you asked Jeter or Shaq or Peyton Manning to spot you 500 to feed your family they would have you arrested on the spot for harassment. Enjoy sports but treasure you families, friends , careers and most of all yourselves.
