    Depends on the odds

    If the pass line in craps paid +105 and the don't pass line paid +105 you win more in the long run betting both even though one has to lose every time

    I doubt they got +ev odds every bet here I'm just saying it isn't necessarily wrong

    The most glaring wrong in this whole deal is that daneblazer reads articles on espn.com

    there is no way 29 of 32 teams can all go over win prediction not every team can have a winning record or close to it

    And there is no way the pass line and the don't pass line can both win, but if the odds are right you should bet both of them

    If odds on every over offered was 5% +ev you should bet all 32

    I think if everyone just goes one game over and the under teams don’t win a single games, that’s 255 wins. Not sure where they’re all coming from

    That was a lot of work, Dane. What is this, a scavenger hunt?

    That is why they have the "Bar 12". To break up the odds. I think that someone just failed to pay attention to what they were doing, a trait not new to ESPN.

    No that +105 is including the bar 12

    Yes on rare occasion you would roll a 12 coming out and your don't pas would go on to lose but that doesn't wipe out the edge of +105 odds in the long run

    If there are multiple +ev bets you want to get money on all of them even if they compete with eachother. Another example would be if roulette numbers paid 40 to 1. You wouldn't want to bet just one number even though only one number can hit and a zero makes them all lose.
