Action Points on Large Spreads

[Waterstpub87]

Something that I was thinking about looking at some of the large spreads that have jumped out over the season thus far and wanted to ask the experts in the think tank a question.

Would it be a +ev bet over time to take action points on dogs that are getting 7+ points in NFL games?

My thinking behind this was that Nfl teams have a tendency to not get blown out as much as games coming down to the wire. My other thought on this was that dogs tend to win outright more then they lose by 20. Am I off base with this?

Do any books still offer action points wagering?

I found a 0.5 point per game edge to the favourite over the last 3 seasons betting every game blindly on action points. Will have to look at late season and big dogs but the sample size will be pretty small for either, let alone both.

I believe The Greek still does it also.

Action points can be a crazy good way of playing an 'alternate line'
