Hey someone picked up my offer of +325. Was it anyone here? I'd hate to take anyone's money here but at the same time I would be happy, as long as I am losing, to give it to someone here. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] GO BLAKE!!!! I figure if Taylor can win then.....

Yeah it was me. Hedging again [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

How did you flip your position so that shorting blake is a hedge? you just posted a few days ago if blake won youd be down 20k

I wasn't shorting Blake...I was betting on Blake to win at +325.

My handicap is -350/+350 so +325 is a pretty fair price and allows me to cash in on Jordin profits at MB.

Also I was buying Jordin at -280 over at Intrade and Pinnacle so +325 is a hedge in that sense as well.

I'm about to profit off Jordin. I can hardly wait. But next year at this same time, Blake'll be up there & Jordin will be gooooooooone.

Well stick a fork in me I'm done. If my interenet returns I'll be back tomorrow.

I still have 100 contract of Jordin (ave price $7.10).

$1100 on Jordin to last longer than Blake

and I'm short a whomping 10 contract on Blake.

The other position have either been cashed out or voted off.

Did you hedge any of this or are you taking it all to the bank?
