about recouping losses

[robmatey]

hi everyone. just a thought. if i was 300 points down(say, cos my system is crap) and i want to recoup some of my losses, can i not cover both possible outcomes of a 2 possible outcome bet i.e. darts, snooker etc and reduce my losses? for example; 300 points down snooker match with playerA at 1.5 and playerB at 2.5 (genuine odds from willhill) if i put 200 on playerA and 120 on playerB when the match is over i will have made back the 300 points and will only be down by the losing bet i.e. 200 or 120 instead of 300. this isn't about profit and it's not about arbitrage but it could be used to reduce losses. maybe some of you do this anyway and it's old news or maybe the whole theory is rubbish but i'd like to know what you guys reckon about this. Cheers.:ok

Re: about recouping losses In effect you have made a bet and staked £320 to return £300......your losses will now be £320
