Need Scalping/Siding help

cincy_ · Aug 31, 2005

I have 10 units on a game OVER 8.5 at +105. I need to hit the under and buy back 9 units to make it a 1 unit play.

The line has gone up in places and it is currently UNDER 9 -125

I am thinking of posting up with Bodog, getting the 20% for new accounts and just putting it all on the UNDER.

My question is:

Should I pay a little for the juice and take UNDER 9 if it hits -115 or get + odds at UNDER 8.5?

How much juice should I tolerate? 10 cents? 5 cents?

Depends on your risk tolerance. I'd figure that half run to be worth around 27 cents. So if your best U9 is -125 then only take the 8.5 if it is +102 or better.

27 cents?

Why? because we're at 8.5 and 9? Is that not a bit too much?
