    Taking higher odds - worth the risk?
    Hi!

    When I watch through the results of the winning handicappers I rarely see winnings which are very close. The price differences between the "just" two or three points seem very high too me.

    Just for a simple example lets look at the game Green Bay vs Tampa Bay at Pinnacle. Green Bay odds for -11.5 are 2.20 and the odds for -8.5 are 1.806 - thats a difference of nearly 22 %. Surely I will win less bets but when I win the payout is significantly higher...

    So my guess is its profitable to bet on higher handicaps then suggested by the capper. Of course I am talking about something next to the suggested handicap like the offered lines on pinnacle.

    Maybe you have some infos for me and share your experiences about that

      My site doesn't offer such options so I've never looked into this. However, I'm always looking for bets that I believe may cover the spread by a healthy margin (with a fair degree of success in recent weeks) and most games don't finish within even a TD of the spread so I'd say "Go for it!" and see how you get on...
