    Decent $$$ off of -394/-394...

    So i came up with this strategy that someone probably came up with 50 years ago... It should work out pretty good. There are no guarantees, but all you need is 2 safe bets. Lets say those bets are -394. Then you take any damn -110 bet you can find doesn't matter.

    -394/-394/Bulls-Heat u181 = 100/200.12
    -394/-394/Bulls-Heat o181 = 100/200.12
    You win $200 ($100 profits) either way... Essentially you're investing $200 to win $100.12 in profits on a couple -394 locks...

    Of course you can find safe bets that are better than -394, a couple -200 bets pay out $329.55 ($229.55 in profits) Has anyone heard of anything like this or used it before?

    Yep and you will be surprise to see how often that "lock" or "safe bet" loses....

    Adding the over and the under decreases your odds.

    Just parlay the two -394's.

    Parlaying the -394/-394 leaves you with $157.20 ($57.20 profit). So yes, that way makes more per dollar invested. It's just that last night I had Djoker/Essendon Bombers/OKC over @200/398. I was going to add Djoker/Essendon Bombers/OKC under @200/398, but fell asleep. I should have. I'd be up 2 units instead of down 2 units. So I take it that my premeditated hedge doesn't work?

    The problem is the "lock" that you think you have. Not only one but two, which decreases your chances to just hit those. I don't know about you, but I have lost on plenty of big favorites. Worst was a nine team parlay where I had Chicago Bulls at home ML and that was one of my "locks" (that I put in almost every other parlay that night) and that one didn't hit!

    There's a ton of -200 ML lines in soccer that hit very often. I usually take -1 goals to bring it to +money, but if you want you can use your strategy with the ML's.
