I'd cash out. Celts aren't winning 4 in a row.

Id cash out just to avoid the stress, me


eta: you’re a psycho for throwing in a series winner bet in that mix

There’s always a better way to hedge than cashing out.

You would be better off betting 350 on the Heat to win the series -275

If they win you make a $107 profit and if the Celtics win the series you make a $140 profit.

If you cash out you only make a $99 profit.

You could hedge a little less than 350 if you have faith in the Celtics. But do hedge.

Cashing out is a suckers bet. I understand doing it live when odds are fluctuating rapidly but between games, there will always be a better hedge available.

In order to win $510 at +225 you would need $227. Since they are offering you only $119 the cash out is a terrible option. Unless you need that money for something else it's probably a bad idea to cash out.

Wait for the Celtics WIN tonight and revisit the odds in the morning. Then you can hedge on Heat ML for game 6 since it’ll be close to pick ‘em.

If the Celtics win you can hedge the heat at +260 in game 7 like they are tonight

It’s a 20 dollar bet and they’re offering you essentially 100 bucks.


You’re much better off hedging than cashing out.

I parlayed Bruce winning the PGA with Panthers ML, Lakers ML, and some random baseball game ML.

Lakers ML was the only one that didn't hit. Think this was Game 2.

It was $23 to win like $3,500.

that was the point though to get that in there for the big payout but +225 wasnt enough alone to warrant it for little stakes so i had to tak on those extras. im leaning cash out too and i guess after tonight i could bet on boston each individual game if i wanted to. thats what im thinking

keep the bet, and just bet 50-100 on the heat each remaining game with the extra hopes of the Celtics winning in 7 and hitting some of the heat point spreads?

It's a 100 bucks. Let it ride for the fun of it.

I'm usually not a cash out person, but no team has ever come back from 3-0

Stick to the stats here

ETA: if it were a payout with a comma, I'd say let it ride

Which very easily could be 0. Take the free money and play some more

Betting on the Cincinnati Reds, no matter the circumstances, is a wild move. I respect it

Not sure, but just pointing out, it shouldn't be cash out or let it ride. It's probably better to either hedge or let it ride.

Good luck!

Take a third mortgage out, sell your car, borrow money from all your friends, visit a loan shark, and up the ante.

There is no possible way you can lose...

Cash out a hundred buck to the positive is a a win.
Also you can bet the line on the Celtics with some of your profits.
