I bet on the NBA spreads and totals. I basically create enough lines for the amount of games I'm betting. Let's say 3 games:
Game 1:
10-10
Game 2:
10-10
Game 3:
10-10
Now as games win and lose, lines get adjusted/cleared/added etc.
What I then do, say there is 4 games today I like and my current lines are:
10-10-22-36
10-23
10
I will add a line of 10-10 to make it:
10-10-22-36 (bet to win $46)
10-23 (bet to win $33)
10 (bet to win $10)
10-10 (bet to win $20)
now I average them all out over each game/bet
46+33+10+20 = 109
divide by 4 games = $27.25 per game
Adjust the 4 lines to be:
10-10-22-17.25 (bet to win $17.25)
10-17.25 (bet to win $17.25)
27.25 (bet to win $17.25)
10-17.25 (bet to win $17.25)
Now I've gathered that it's good because it will spread my betting amounts and reduce variance for large swings.
Logically speaking is there a downside to this?
Other than that I can't place more $$ on the picks I like better (which I am avoiding - just using this and aiming to go >50%)
Please provide feedback....thanks and BOL to all
