should i cover my bet???

[geo the ger]

Hi, Looking for a bit of advice, i put £50 on Cris Di Marco to win accenture matchplay yesterday morning at 9/1. He is now 5/4 With David Toms 4/7. Should i put money on Toms in case Marco loses????????. as you can probably see i am still a bit of a novice punter:hope

Re: should i cover my bet??? for a novice punter, thats a big bet mate;) It depends on your views about the £50 you have placed you could lay Di Marco or back Toms using another £80 that way if Toms wins you break even and if Di Marco wins you are £450 up minus the £80 you cover the bet with..... Equally you could invest more to ensure you make a profit either way!!!! however this will obviously greatly reduce your winnings should Di Marco win. It really depends on how you view that £50 you have invested, you could also wait and hope DI Marco has a good start and Toms price moves out then back him.... It really is your decision based on your views on the risk etc.. Hope that helps if it was me,,,, Id cover my stake and let it run then you have a bet running for free basically.
