From a friend in google chat:
im thinking of doing this bet where i do pacers ML and hawks to cover at the same time
if i put 50 on pacers ml and 50 on hawks to cover
i can only lose 25 max if pacers blow hawks out
if hawks win SU i lose 3 dollars
but if pacers win but dont cover, i win 75
doesnt that sound pretty good!
I'm guessing his logic is to limit losses by playing both sides but I forget why it's normally not a good idea.
