but aren't you guaranteed to basically wash out? if it goes over 84 you lose the game total but if it stas under 153 you lose the half total. Did you just do that to just get your money back you initially betted (minus the juice)

@L&HH this shyt is just like stocks. They make it sound a lot harder than it is. As long as you are conservative and are happy making a guranteed smaller profit over time you win.
I did some betting last season casually. This is my rookie season, and once I learn more about line movements its a wrap.

No worries. I've won enough that it covers these small parlay plays. I only bet $1-$5 on themI might try that middling shyt. Take the NIU/WM game over 63...hopefully NIU comes out guns blazing and they give me a nice total I can go under
since I bet on mostly obscure stuff I don't make a lot of posts on picks..
..but I see the Lakers +175 and I like it. falls into a favorite category of mine, where the favorite's home record looks good but the wins come against woeful opposition (nets, knicks, and a decent win vs minny), and where the underdog (lakers) have a bad road record but the losses have all come to relatively good teams (denver, dallas, warriors, and less excusable loss vs NO)

I can't call it, no Beal for the Wiz but John Wall has been playing out of his mind lately. I think there's definitely good value in +175, that might a little too high. Id play it to bolster a parlay or something
that shyt opened at -1 and the public just pounded it I believe

98 at half
Went with a under 90 at half
165-188 I break even
Under 165 I win twice
Over 188 lose twice
4.5 points a minute needed to hit 188

So many points scored ( equivalent of a short squeeze in the stock world)
That my hedge is just as risky as the original bet. Not a good situation, hopefully zaga doesnt shoot 75% again this half
