    Can you get in trouble with a book for middling like this (examples posted)
    Here's how I middled last night's Jets/Cowboys game last night on two teasers. Then when the Cowboys were looking solid early I hedged a bit with a -105 live bet to ensure winnings (provided Pats win tonight). Successful play, but it's been insinuated here in the past that too many bets like this would get an account put on review at the shakier books?

    I don't necessarily see why because even though I successfully middled I could still lose it all if the other half of my teaser doesn't pan out.

    I had Dallas plus 7 but Live Betting the Jets last night was easy money.

              If your bookie is smart he will give you bonuses out the ass to keep you playing with his book after making plays like that.

                See, this is what I want to address. Are my two bets above an example of what could conceivably cause them to say that. I never middle and didn't plan to middle last night. But at the last moment I got scared of the Cowboy's pass defense and decided to shoot for the middle to protect my first teaser.

                  Oh, lookie here... It's the "cool" and wise "sharp" who has probably never been up 30 dimes in his LIFE.

                  Look at my history if you think you can judge me from a couple of drunken teasers.

                    Keep making plays like that and I guarantee that you will be down well over 30 dimes in no time
