I have these options,
I can pick Marshall -11½ +124 (2,24 Decimal) for %3.38 profit.
I can pick Marshall -11 +119 (2,19 Decimal) for %2.31 profit and a middle bet. If Marshall wins by 11, you get one push, one win.
I can pick Marshall +10½ +114 (2,14 Decimal) for %1.20 profit and a greater middle bet. If Marshall wins by 11, you hit jackpot, two winners.
Win by 11 is not a very likely result in football, so I go for %3.38 guarantee profit.
