Saw someone else post about overs...

Take first half under for 1 unit... if wins you stop... if loses put 2 units on second...  its been profitable 8 of last 9 years... last year first losing season... its hit every bowl game but 1 this year... and yesterday depending on line in bc it lost first half and pushed 2nd

Insane - keep an eye on it

And yes I am well aware if you lose both halfs you literally have to hit 3 other games to make up for it... but this has long term bowl validity

9-2-5 this year...thats +1.90 units if you were playing 10 cent lines per contest

9 wins = 9.0 units
2 Loss = -6.6 units
5 pushes = -.50 units

How can 9 wins be +9 units but 2 losses be -6.6?

If you are playing 1 and 2 unit plays, with 2 units coming only after a 1 unit loss...there is no way 2 losses can be -6.6

First half is risking 1.1 to win 1 units, if it loses you are -1.1, and 2nd half you risk 2.2 to win 2 units. if both lose you are -3.3

2 Losses were Navy/Tech...it was close, I had the 2nd half over only reason I remember this one...2H total was 37.5 and game hit at 38

2nd Lose came last night in the BC game

Nothing wrong with +1.90 units...your way ahead of most people

Under 21.5/22 seems low if Wake is going to run uptempo.
