      Dan, you're a wise man but consider this... For Indy to cover they must score more than their D will give up. Their D is giving up muchos puntos.

            We both know there will be a lot of points scored in this game. However, I doubt that total would be that high if it wasn't a Monday night game though bud.

                Not correlated. Good luck if you play it.

                  While we're on the subject:

                  what about parlaying a team up by 10 points at the half in bball, and the under. If the team that is up wins the half, there won't be a high scoring last 2 minutes as there is in a tight game. I'm not even sure if any books allow this. Anyone know of any and/or think it's profitable or not?

                    why wouldnt the book allow a 2nd half parlay?

                      I hope the chasers on Monday night chase that total up even more. Im liking the under in this matchup for MNF.

                        The correlation won't overcome the vig

                        There is a correlation betting Indy and Over together but the advantage arising from the correlation is not enough to overcome the vig.

                        Of course, there may be an advantage for other reasons, such as the lines being off, but it is not because of any correlation.

                          This is the correct answer.

                            Many books don't allow intra-game parlays of any sort.

                              i know that but i also know alot that do and some take some very nice correlated parlays and pay but my main point is why does he assume just because the team is up 10 points at the half he couldn't get a 2nd half parlay in at some book?

                                This posted started in a half-heartily way but there is some merit
