Not really dumb JJ, those type of wagers won alot in the earlier rounds, just the competition is tougher now and not so great now

JJ there is nothing wrong with little correlation as long as you know how to properly use it.

If we look at your example. If you had the Nuggets +3.5 first half, +2 2nd qtr, +6 for game, You would have gone 2-1. Now it doesnt mean its the right way to use correlation(as I am still studying it) But none the less it can be profitable.

Not stupid if all the bets have value independently

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe Nuggets covered all 1st Q either as dogs or favs.
