As there was 5 mnutes to go before the last race (5th) and I was alive with the #4 horse for $500+ pick 3 and the #8 for 400+, I was tempted to bet 10-20 dollars on the horses I didnt have. Because the # 4 horse was tons the best according to my system, I decided not to. My question to you all is, do you hedge when you are in the same situation? Thanks!
p.s. I was handed a gift in the 4th race..... ;D

Now, if you had, say six live horses in the leg for a big number, than small win wager on theose you didn't have might make sense to guarantee you cash. More often than not hedging costs you money or at least diminishes your potential return. |
