    My Thursday Night Bets, Thoughts?

    I'm just trying to increase my bank roll right now, I'm doing small bets. For the college football parlay Thursday, I went Money Line for Arizona, and teased the Spread down to -14.5 for the UCF knights. Then on a straight betfor MLB, I did Money Line on TX Rangers. Hopefully it's a good night thanks for your input, anything constructive is greatly appreciated as I'm a lifelong sports fan, but newbie bettor. I'm learning to get rid of the emotion.

    It doesn't really make much sense at all to buy 1 point down to 14.5 and and not 1.5 points to the key 14, especially if you are playing it with a -185 favourite.

    Even though I caught the line at 16?

    That's even worse

    I wouldn't really recommend buying points until you know how to assess what they are worth. Otherwise you are paying for something that you do not understand.

    I won't usually buy points unless I'm buying to a key 3, 7, 10 or 14. Try to look at teasers that cross these numbers as well.

    Buying points to 14.5 is definitely -EV.

    Over 8 for the baseball game looks solid imo
