    Does anyone ever go all in on a huge (-1500 and up) ML fave to build their bankroll?

    I'm very tempted to do it

    Lots of people do, but you won't find many here to respond. Most of them are no longer with us at SBR. I'll let you draw your own conclusion.

    if your roll is small. sure, go for it.

    perfect example last night you could have went all-in on Federer -1150ish depending on book

    tennis is easy to win some of these during the big 4 tournaments, these guys show up to play full effort

    I play college basketball ML favorites anywhere from -300 to -900 but only FIRST HALF and only back the teams that are on their home floor and playing teams well less superior to them. always look at the previous games they both have just played too though to make sure the situational spot is ok too. has been very profitable.

    I like Indiana but it goes against my normal strategy as they are on the road but the situational spot fits. Northwestern is coming off a huge win at Illinois and they a decimated with injuries. Indiana coming off the loss to Wisconsin and Crean HAS got to get them a B10 road win. would look for them to get off to a smoking start today.

    I say take a smaller amount of money and put it on the dog. Rhode Island beat Saint Louis in college basketball Saturday and they were ML +1050. Last Saturday Texas A&M beat Kentucky and they were ML +900. Big dogs do cash in the right spot.
