Scalping opportunity

i took OVER 38.5 on BETPHX for a bill at -115. I don't really see a point of hedging though, do you? Maybe if I had put like 3-5 bills on it it would be worth it.

given the opportunity, I will pretty much always scalp. The key here is also to compare the new line to the pinnacle line, and -180/+150 is obviously an off line.

not if I only have 100 on the over at -115 though. What's an effective scalp right there? I'm not trying to make $10 Yisman.

What I'm trying to say is that regardless of the money you have on the over, the +150 is an advantageous line anyway.

So you could keep your original wager and then scalp this by betting the +150 and betting the over at another book, in addition to your original 100.

unfortunately, BetPhoenix has now corrected the line to -140/+110

I hope anyone with money there got the bet in.

oh, one more thing:

SBR Book still has Djokovic +260. That's as good a line as you'll find now. Pinnacle has Djokovic down to +225.
