**ProfaneReality** · 12-05-10, 08:47 PM

**THE PROFIT** · 12-05-10, 08:53 PM

remember those cookies, magic middles? Damn those were good. Those keebler fukin elves need to make some more of those

Halftime middles or game middles?

'Cause game middles weren't kind to me. Hit Oregon -16/OSU +17, but that was it.

Today I tried:
Saints -6 -112/Bengals +7 -105
Packers -9 -110/49ers +10 -115
Falcons -2.5 -113/Bucs +3 -110

Had decent chances at all but no lucky breaks.

Also had Nevada -7 -120/LaTech +8.5 -105 yesterday but it didn't happen.

Today I tried:
Saints -6 -112/Bengals +7 -105 +EV 16%
Packers -9 -110/49ers +10 -115 -EV 47% This was horrible play.
Falcons -2.5 -113/Bucs +3 -110 -EV 5%

Had decent chances at all but no lucky breaks.

Also had Nevada -7 -120/LaTech +8.5 -105 yesterday but it didn't happen. -EV -23% horrible play

Just because a line moves and you can middle your bet does not mean that you should do it.

Yes, I'm aware they're mostly -EV. That's why I usually only do them around 3, 7, 10, and 14 to lessen it a bit.

It's all being done at places like Phoenix, Wagerchief, and SIA where I have high rollover requirements due to free play and contest winnings. I see them as a relatively inexpensive way to get through my rollover requirements.

**jeffksu** · 12-06-10, 12:26 AM

And how do you figure those %s? I mean yes those were terrible middle plays with -115 and -120 juice, but wouldn't ANY juice be -EV? Kind of the point of juice..hourse edge.

**gino342** · 12-06-10, 02:18 AM

surprized falcons and buc were -ev, anyone care to share the math behind it, thx.

When you pick winners no need to middle.

**PDW** · 12-07-10, 10:54 AM
