people I know well have been doing this for years. they never go 50-50.Most times they have a side they like and go 65-35_____last i knew it was mostly totals. NBA in the late 90's there were totals moving 6 points. I think due to computer group(Billy W.) Also some college totals and a few college games. if i remember right they did it looking for a min. 5 pts. on totals/ 3 1/2 on games. max was 70-30---60-40 at the lowest. In mid 70's they were the first one known to chart umps. in MLB. they're all retired or dead now,but I know they were living well.
A little off the subject of "middling" perse, but I just bumped this thread in the CLASSIC THREAD forum for you..............

Yes long term it is huge +ev. In fact with totals (assuming totals is what you are talking about) anything over 2/2.5 points is good but with that said it may be more beneficial too skip the middle and just bet the bad number as longterm you will be up more money. I use too bet middles all day long in CBB but have done beter not buying back as the second number is usually not +ev this time of year, IMO.
