How about a 50.11 % hold ?

SIA has MOV for baseball. 26 options on NYM game.

The hold works out to over 50% !

used to wax them on these before getting booted. They had the one run wins way to high and you could hedge out at pinny and make great scalps.

I take that back, it was hockey, not baseball where this method was used.

I bet those too.

They used to routinely reverse the underdog and favorite with those MOV props, so it was really tough to tell when they were just SIA being SIA and when they were putting up a bad line they might cancel.
