If Eagles win by one you win money, if W wins by one you win money.



What am I missing, it must be something if this is a disaster.

no, the second half could finish level in which case 1 bet pushes, the other loses.

also, if they play level in the 2nd half...all the bets on the game push. this is a very likely outcome. certainly not worth the 10 or 15 cents you could gain.

It's a scalp, but if the game ties (which is rare) you will lose on washington and tie on the other side. Still, looks like a nice scalp to me.

Didn't realize it was a 2nd half play. Very "polishable" unless the game is tied at the half. Definitely not worth the risk.

What if you could get O 10 U 9½ on an NFL quarter total with the lines being ~+160 +100. My guess is that playing such lines will ensure a long term profit as half a point in this case can't be worth 60 cents.

I played the line and it didn't hit the polish middle even though it was close ;o)
