i took mets today -1 at -124. so if they win by 1, i get a push. anyone ever bet like that before? i guess if your sportsbook doesn't have -1 point spread, you can create it buy betting on ML and hedge it with RL.

What book offered that too you anyways? I knew Pinnacle offered this last year, but never wagered like that before. The value wasn't there betting games in that fashion IMO.Comment -
in soccer, there is the asian handicap, where you see bet like 50% on win 50% on draw ( pk and -0.5 -102 for example). i think pinnacle just make your life easier by offering asian handicap...because soccer odds are like -200 or +300...not a lot of even odds. since you can creating this wager by betting on draw and win, you can pretty much create any (1/4, 1/2. 3/4 handicap) type of asian handicap by making bets yourself. in that sense i think regular sportsbook is better than pinnacle soccer because you have more options to fiddle with the weights between draw and win. i think the reason pinnacle use asian handicap is that you get more voumn on close to even odds bets, so they create some crazy spreads, like china +8 goal in a hockey game against kazahstan...i never see more than 2 two goal spread in nhl, but i didn't know china has a hockey team in the first place.Comment -
I've never bet -1, can't get it at my book. But have bet a couple +1.5 for the dogs this year. The only thing about those is you are laying 1 to win .5 which makes the return doo doo. I'm 9-4 this year using the run line which is an investment of 1300 units for a profit of 50.Comment
