Unless you're alive to a bunch of horses for mid 6 figures, no hedge will provide a score, and you'd have to bet huge on the ones you've left off the ticket. Let's say you're alive for 100k to 3 horses, and there's a 4-1 you need to protect against. Yep, 25,000 , which you don't have, and you wouldn't get 4-1 on it after you bet even if you did.
Ive seen longshots (20-1 types) in the last leg of a pick 6 take 1000 win bets from hedgers.
