this has been discussed before. i dont think the other book would care, they are dropping the line, becuase the want action onthe opposite side.
for the best way to do a middle. i usually put a small lean on the side i favor, then put the remainder on the middle, that is unless you get a HUGE middle opportunity, where the middle edge out weighs the actcual edge you have on the game.

Yes, that is a highly profitable middle. That said, if you bet the +9.5 because you liked it and intended to keep it then you might just want to stay with that side. It should not matter that you bet both sides at the same book. That said, if you can find the best number elsewhere, I think it's preferable.
Some books definitely frown on betting both sides. While it's true, as someone said, that they moved the line to draw action to the other side, an individual taking both sides can contribute to a negative profile and lead to hassles. You're probably okay at a few top books - I guarantee there are a lot of other books that view it in a very negative way - it's up to you where to draw the line. Personally, the only place I wouldn't worry about it is Pinnacle.
I thought about it last night when I had Oklahoma at Pk and then at half time Kansas was -5....down 15....I had a 9 point middle. Almost pulled the trigger...but decided to stay pat. I wish I would've, since Kansas comes back to lose by 8, but was only down 1 at a point in the 2nd half. Thus the middle would've worked out for me. Good Luck Dante on what ever you decide. I took Purdue @ +7.5 for small
