Default Re: What would you do with this bet???

Hmmmm, you make a good point. Because of their potential in the postseason, that will indeed cause the line to come down. On the other hand, that would make me not want to hedge. My head hurts. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Yes well, it's definitely a good thing from the OP's perspective that the Astros are probably a good playoff team. Whether or not he hedges, his expected value is significantly higher.

I've had my temptations to hedge futures bets myself. I made fairly large bets on the Sox and the A's to win their divisions before the season.

Both bets could have been turned into a nice profit for a while now. I haven't liked the prices on the Angels or the Yankees to win the division at all though, so I've resisted thus far.
