    MIDDLING/SCALPING NBA playoff props.....

    SBR members with two or more outs should be looking for many win-win situations right now.

    This is a key time for easy money.

    You're really going to spend time scalping stuff with <$500 limits?

    Lots of places take more then that........

    But even at 500 limits, one can put themselves in a win 100 or breakeven situation on many occassions.

    If you're finding disparate wagers of +120/+120, your hedge better be +EV. Otherwise, you're wasting extreme value in your original bet.

    The only times to arb are when you either don't know which side has value or to help manage risk. But arbing to manage risk on props on anything other than a micro bankroll is laughable.

    Sometimes both sides are +EV.

    fishler is a grinder and always has been. fishler doesn't mind making 30 bucks here, 25 bucks there.. he's always been like that.. nothing wrong with that. hey, some people go work 9 to 5 to make 60 bucks and have to work for a boss. why not do it here by pressing a button and making 100/day, why not? it's 700/week.. good job, fishler.


    fishler, ignore these miserable guys like monkey and donny, they ALWAYS come in and bash anyone to make them feel smarter.. they like putting people down.. they've been trying with me since day 1, but they can't win against me. don't let them bring you down.. they look for threads like this to jump on anything.. they love it..

    you can say 1+1 is 2, and they will see it and come in here and find a way to say you're wrong.. but they have no idea what they are talking about ever.. especially monkeyfag..

    If you were to bet a +120 prop and found that the fair price was being offered at -130 (your side)/+120 on several efficient markets, that would give you a 21.94% edge. If you were offered that wager 1000 times at a $500 max on both sides, you'd make $100,000 by hedging. However, if you DIDN'T hedge, you'd expect to make $109,000. Numbers don't lie. Nicky does.

    Isn't this great. People who play middles/arbs always appreciate having it blabbed about on public forums and awareness spread .

    Only the sharpest thinkers understand the immense value of getting a whole fukk of a lot of fingers in the pie.

    Hey Jeff, they are right in a way.. there is nothing wrong if you do this. and lets say you make 700$ a week doing this..but if you just bet the right side on that very weak #, you will clear probably an avg of 1500$/wk over the long haul.. yes, it will have a risk as compared to the no risk scalping, but over the long haul, no way you won't clean up.. you are throwing alot more free money away by scalping, even though you are making free money.
