Alright guys, so I was looking at something and wanted to know what everyone thinks of it. Would there be any sort of advantage to selling half a run on whole numbered totals in exchange for an extra 25 or so cents? Like for the Brewers/Cubs game, the total is set at O/U 7 @-115, but you can take the option to go with under 6.5 @+115, which is an extra 30 cents there, and either way, you cash with a score of 6 or less. The only thing you're giving up is that tie if the total is 7, so I guess my question is do you guys see it beneficial to take that risk and lessen the juice on these totals?

I mean it is kind of like taking -1.5 and selling to -1.... I do it if I'm confident, if you think the Under 7 is a safe bet, why not sell the half?

I've never watched that par 3 tournament before, but I might actually make time for it. Looks interesting.

[tto827]

Skipper across 16 is always great to watch.

Might have to throw some cash down on somebody for that while I'm studying so I can multi-task.

Sox could really use a win here.

I'd be more confident selling from 7.5 to 7, but if you feel really confident in only 3 or 4 runs being scored and the total 7, why not bet it? if you're not super confident but still think the total will go under 7, don't buy down. You should be able to make a little extra money buying if you are selective with it

Sorry Duggly meant to address this earlier.

You'd have to find push rates for MLB totals (that may be hard to do and require some personal data collection on your part). SBR's Half point calc might help a little, but it won't be accurate enough.

Usually you cannot sell points for enough $$ for it to be worth it, but there are some times. And with your example, 3-3 games heading to extra innings are fairly common, which would fukk you hard.

[BigDeem5]

Detroit up 6-1... now down 8-6..

Fuk their bullpen.. They better get the bats going again.

Cash our under in the Rays game

I've made some good money just from betting the Rays and Rangers under this year so far. I think both offenses are overrated right now.

[BigDeem5]

I'm 2-0 +5.12 units... but Detroit is going to bone me unless Cabby or Prince bails me out

Looking good so far. I have never bet any first 5 inning bets in the few years that I have bet MLB games. I'm assuming the basic strategy for them is to place those for teams with bad bullpens or who have an all-star ace like Cain or Strasburg?

[BigDeem5]

Yeah, bad bullpens and stud starter.

King Felix struggled against the White Sox and only had 3 striekouts against them. Rangers offense > White Sox offense. His fastball was noticeably slower than what it has been in the past, which was also concerning. He also has an ERA of over 4 against the Rangers (I know hey don't have the same lineup but they are still dangerous). All of that, combined with the fact that their offense isn't great aside from Michael Morse (Saunders isn't in the lineup tonight, either), I saw a lot of value at that +139 line. If the line was lower, it's a totally different story.

[mcduggly]

I'm hoping so. I usually start off slow to start the season, just like any other sport.
