how to exploit...

[jimmydingle]

i get weird lines (mostly inflated favorites) frequently and have some different rules with a particular book-how do I exploit these situations in cfb, nfl and cbb:

overtime does not count for totals (in cbb this may be good in some parlays(?))

i can place if-win bets in the same game on the side and the total

any advice appreciated

Can you bet more on the 2nd selection of your IF bets?

In games that are more heavily correlated, bet the minimum on the front end of the IF and much more on the 2nd part. For example, if the line/total is 14 and 38, bet the minimum on the Fav-14 and a much larger bet on the Over 38. A similar strategy can be used with a small bet on Under 38, followed by a large bet on the Dog +14. I'm surprised a Book allows this, and making such bets could get you booted.

Thanks, I plan to go easy on these and only play them once in a while at first to feel him out

what are the ranges of lines and totals that are correlated enough for this and are they to be bet blindly

Does your Book allow all same/game Ifs on the highest Lines/Totals? If so, concentrate on those and go perhaps 5-10% of your bankroll per play on the most correlated. Also, since your guy bumps up the Favs, hit the Under/Dog Ifs primarily.
