Hedging Bets on a Value System?

[ofcourseitwas]

This is something I've been debating for awhile, and would like to get the opinions of those in this forum. If you have a system with enough history that you believe it to be valid and have value, would it be advantageous to use Betfair and hedge your bets when you can green out (saving you from the bet turning around and losing, but also losing some value if the bet turns out to be a win) or simply place the bet and let the value take care of itself? I know many will say, who cares, you've found value, just use it. What I'd like to know is your opinions on whether there is more potential value by hedging your bets or not? Maybe this can only be answered system to system and when you hedge your bets?

I think running trading and punting accounts concurrently is a good idea. You can stake more on trades, as long as you place a stop-loss, and this will allow you to improve turnover. Trading should also be more stable.
