To take OLKA at pk when one could have had +3 or better is just asking for trouble IMO.
This has ALWAYS been a golden rule with me...........and that is to never take the worst of a number in a fashion similar to this.
There are THOUSANDS of games to be wagered on during a course of year, hence passing on a bad number is no big deal.
It would be interesting to see the percentage of winners on a 3+ point move in any sport. I would think 40% tops.Number 13 said:Does anyone remember the first Jets-Dolphins game this past season? The Jets opened like -3.5 and went up to 6.5 or 7. Of course anyone who bet the Jets late was an "idiot" and the bet had "no value" at that "inflated" number.
Of course the Jets won by 8 and the "idiots" cleaned up from the "sharps".
