I ask because of this scenario.
Two teams, hot favourites at 1.4 to win their games (ie each bet $100 and win $40).
Now, place two $100 singles and you :
win $80 if both win
lose $60 if one wins
lose $200 if none win
If you place a $100 double
you win $96 if both win
lose $100 if one or both lose.
So thats half the exposure for a higher gain when playing short favourites.
Do you think this is the smarter play given you think the 1.4 prices are good value plays?
