Last Friday in this forum I backed the T'wolves as a dog and split my bet between the pointspread (risking 1.2 u) and the ML (risking 0.4 u @ +167). I liked them plus the points, and I felt the Wolves had a bit better than 37.5% (which represents the breakeven point for a team getting +167) chance of winning SU. My thinking was if they cobvered but didn't win, I'd still profit a decent 0.68 u of profit. Nonetheless, @Jimmy Cats (in Redlad's 5/8 "3 Plays for Tonight" thread) opined that I "lacked testicles" in not putting the whole 1.6 u on the moneyline. I wonder what he thinks of the posters who bet ML parlays using -300 favorites (not referring to anyone in particular)?
At any rate, in light of Jimmy Cats' kind appraisal, I hereby introduce the "No Testicles" play of the day.
Detroit +4 -110 (risk 1 u) (for Fri. May 15)
Simple. Do I believe the Cavs are good enough to do what is asked of them, that is, close out the Pistons in 6, after stealing Gm. 5? I don't believe they are. Moneyline when taking the dog is always a consideration, but the +149 i could take does not, IMO, boost he payoff enough to take the extra risk.

Automatic ML play on higher seeded team as an underdog, so you had Det. ML in games 3 & 4?

who gives a crap about him. nothing wrong with splitting the bet between the spread and moneyline. it happens all the time in baseball to create the -1 runline.

I don't know that anybody does. Anyway, the narrative gave rise to what I thought was an intriguing, provovcative title. The "No Testicles" Play of the Day, to spice things up.
