Default Re: Another Mansion free bet

correct.
To use really basic round-numbers, it's going to be an all-or-nothing for +$1000 if you let it ride.
So your EV is exactly $500 (half the time you win $1000, the other half $0).

If you hedge then it's going to be a guaranteed +$490 or something.
And this is because you have to pay some juice on that 2nd bet.


I'm thinking of going half-way on it and just hedging MIA part-way.

Something like +$700 if PIT wins but still get +$300 if MIA wins.
