I was thinking about this tonight because I have a large wager on the Sharks -120 (4.8 units to win 4), and before 3rd period with the Sharks up 1-0 I put 1 unit to win 2.5 on Nashville +250 live. I find myself doing this more and more, especially with moneylines in hockey.
Makes me feel like a pussy cause I'm winning the game, why should I win 3 units instead of 4 if it comes home?
At the same time obviously a much more equitable situation to be in to convert a favorite into a dog (now 2.3 units to win 3) when they're leading.
What are your thoughts on this?
Really applies to any sport and both ML and spread. I have almost completely moved away from ever doing it with spreads cause i feel like it's just adding another 50/50 wager on top of the one I already have that's winning, and I'm putting it on the team I didn't like in that game...I dunno, feels different.
