I understand first five ties happen, and yeah, I look at every wager through a moneyline lens.
But the higher that price gets, the higher the implied win probability I’m paying for. At some point, laying -150 or -160 just to protect against a tie starts creating a completely different longterm math problem.
Sure, every once in a while I’m going to eat a loss like tonight because I laid the half run instead of the bigger moneyline price. That’s part of it.
But over the long run, constantly paying that extra juice adds up fast. I’d rather take the better number when I believe the team should be leading after five and accept that every now and then one of these motherfuckers is going to bite me.

constantly laying big juice like that sends bettors to the bank for loans
