Lloyd Christmas will likely disagree with me, but hedging all depends on your personal preferences (what makes you happy and what you feel comfortable with.) There is no right answer. It comes down to do you get the most enjoyment from collecting a profit, even if its small, or maxing out your profit. The more risk taking person would be against hedging and the less risk taking person would lean toward hedging. Me personally I always want to put myself in a positive EV situation which means you will profit no matter what the outcome of the game. Personally I would hedge but that's my personal opinion because I want to guarantee a profit......like the one poster said, profits are hard to come by in sports betting.
