    Crazy Prop Bet - How do I play this?
    My local is offering me "No Fumbles Lost" at 7/1 for the SuperBowl. I know that this is around +160 at most books, so it's already got tons of EV. However, I was considering some sort of arbitrage play.

    At DSI I see the odds for "Total Fumbles Lost" at:
    1 -250
    2 +190
    3 +400
    4 +700
    5 or more +1300

    I also see "Total Fumbles":
    o1.5 +140
    u1.5 -170

    How would you guys play this? I can see good reason to just play it straight up, but right now I'm more worried about capital preservation than catching one good hit.

    Thanks in advance!

    Here's what I came up with:Using the o1.5 with 0 fumbles, and 1 fumble, I'm guaranteed to lose money if I did the math right.Also, betting each individual leg I would be guaranteed a loss.So, if my math is right there is no way to arb this. Can anyone else chime in to confirm or deny my conclusion?

      I think the safe bet is to go u1.5

        1 fumble -250 is a horrible bet, take the +700 and the over 1.5 and hope it does not land on 1

          That -250 messes everything up... The only way is take the +700 and o1.5 +140
