    My first successful middle

    Had the Broncos in a ML parlay w navy. And once the Bengals hit +4.5 I couldn't resist, figured it would be a close game. Feels pretty good. eff yeah

    That's a hedge, not a middle. But congrats nonetheless!

    If that's not considered middling a book... what is a true middle then?

    Placing the two sides at basically the same time on the same bet.

    I mean, I could bet a big fave ML and take the dog +14.5. If it wins, in my book that is not a middle. Same thing really here. He had a parlay and he hedged out. Nothing wrong with it, but that's not a middle.

    What if I got Cincinnati +4 at the start of the game...

    And at half I got Denver -4 +100 2H

    That's not trying to middle?

    Regardless... middling a book isn't worth it. To me... you're just losing a unit because books hardly get middled in a game.

    it was more being all about Denver ML last night on a gut feeling. and then as the day went on and the line hit 4.5 I started second guessing myself. The Benglas got offensive weapons and both teams defenses are elite. I also bought half a point for Bengals TT o17 and pushed it. I never attempt to middle its not a practice of mine but it worked tonight.

    Middles are easy, once you hit a few it's like riding a bike down hill

    I play middle whenever I can. I usually look for them at half time during NCAA baskets. I also like medium middles if you know what I mean. Don't particularly like huge middles and naturally low middles aren't usually worth it. I know this isn't explained properly but if you play middles you know exactly what I mean. I think

    I counted 9 games I tried to middle in college football... I would of won all 9 games but I tired to middle. Hurts a bankroll. Those gained units come in handy when you get ice cold.
