ok i know its not a huge bet here but i think i can scalp it just dont know exactly what i need to do..


last night i placed a bet on phillies with line at -151

37.75 to win 25


now the nats are at +160



just wondering if the opportunity to scalp is there and how should i play my cards

Imo I would not scalp. I would enjoy beating the closing line as much as you have. You have a +ev bet right now I'd sit back and let it cash

You should bet 24.13 at +160 to win 38.61...leaving you about 0.86 points guarenteed profit

What's funny about guaranteed profit?

[SolidDala]

you can easily calculate your bet for guarantee profit: A: -151 , B: +160 , but its for decimal odds so for the dog its just divide by 100 then +1 so 160/100 +1 = 2.600. For favorite its 1 - (100/-151) = 1.662

To calculate your second bet (nats +160 in this case) you simple multiple your first bet (37,75) with (1.662/2.600) = 24.13

But this is just 1.40% ROI = 86 cents so no point imo...
