I have a question about scalps.
I have hit a munber of 7 and 8 cent scalps lately, but have been noticing another opportunity. If a book allows you to buy points and you end up with a 1/2 point middle at a cost of 1 cent is it better to take the 7 cent scalp or keep buying the 1/2 point and wait for it to fall on the number so you push one and cash the other entirely.
My advice is not for this question specifically, but for ANY question like this ...
You don't have to do one or the other. You can do BOTH. You can do 70% of one and 30% of the other, or 20% and 80% or just go 50-50.
Yesterday, for South Carolina in the 2nd half I was uncomfortable with my original FSU wager so I wanted to hedge.
I took a little of the moneyline at +118
I took a little bit of SC +1 at +100
I didn't have to choose one over the other - just decide how much I was going to place on each wager..
