Hedging can also be used to lock in a profit at the end of a parlay. Say you have bet a five-team parlay and the first four games have won. Instead of sweating the outcome of the fifth game, you could simply make a bet on the other team in the final game of your parlay.
Marco Polo. Marco Polo was an Italian merchant and explorer, famous for introducing Europeans to China and Central Asia. He inspired future travelers, including Christopher Columbus. Born presumably in the Republic of Venice around 1254, Marco Polo played an important role in cartography.
The explorer, Marco Polo (1254-1324), is believed to have seen ice-creams being made during his trip to China and introduced them to Italy. Ice Cream sundaes were invented when it became illegal to sell ice-cream sodas on a Sunday in the American town of Evanston during the late 19th century.
