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.
Marco Polo was not really so much famous for his journey on the silk road to mongol-controlled china and met Kublai Khan (Which some scholars say didn't happen!), but for writ â¦ ing a book about his journeys. The Travels of Marco Polo is in many ways a fantasy.
