Buckeye raises a point of scalping award shows and other events as well.
I think there might be a way to get out of a bad book on the breeders cup simply by taking overinflated odds on uk books and then betting with the "bad book" to cover your positions.
But I'm not advocating that.
What I AM advocating is taking calculated risks where you see very close lines between the bad book and the good book and then hedging the wagers that are going the "wrong" way at halftime (if you are playing foots). I've seen many players do this to bring their balances down to a manageable level at a book they feel is going to take a long time to pay, if at all.
Remember -- you can't put a price on piece of mind as well.
I realize my advice is full of pitfalls. But if you document your plays, know where you are most successful, then find "those successful" plays that can also be "middled" where you are on the "right side with the good book" then I think it is worth the risk.
For me.
And that was what I was trying to convey to Randyrohm...  |
