My bookie is letting me parlay Pitt -9 with the Ov19.5 1st half. Is this +EV?
How about the other side -- Car +9 and Un19.5?

Assuming the bets are significantly correlated, which they may or may not be, why bring attention to it? Were you born stupid or is this a dumb level you attained through living?

Because the upside of figuring out whether they are correlated outweighs the downside of bringing attention to it.

You should realize that the upside of betting correlated wagers comes in the long term not on one bet and the downside of bringing attention to +EV bets has an effect on the long term.
