Does anyone in here do that "bet both sides of the series" strategy?

Mr NJ Sports · Apr 7, 2004

I was curious does anyone in here do that thing when you bet both sides of the series as the series goes along to just guarantee a profit?

Does this usually work or do people end up screwing themselves if a series is too one sided?

dont you have to bet on the dog and win game 1.. example take dallas for the series and + the money, dallas wins game 1, then take col to win series at + the money for game 2.. is this what your talking about..

I have messed around with it before and done ok, but if the dogs get beat in game one you can lose your ass, but the last couple of years it has been +$. I decided not to do it this year because you lose to much juice eats into your return, risk isn't worth the possible reward.

I was curious just because i like a few dogs.

probably not really worth the bother

since they went 0-4 yesterday, now might be the time to bet them in the series since should get much juicer lines on last nights matchups.

SInce th prices on these series have gone up Iam taking a couple.Just because a team wins the first game of a 7 games series on home ice, I don't think it increases there chances of winning the series by the prices that have been adjusted.

Dallas +210
Mont +250
Cal +250
1/4 unit Florida +1200

Florida?

I still like Dallas and the Flames....not sure why I have confidence in Calgary but they cannot be as awful as they were in game 1.

I should have last year. With the Wild down three games to one against Colorado and Vancouver, the Wild came back to win both series.

Dallas +210
Mont +250
Cal +250
1/4 unit Florida +1200

Once again a profitable stategy. If the dog in the series loses the first game bet them for the series after the first game.
+3.75 units

scratch that, it is not true I just bet on a couple of select series. actually dogs went 2-4 with Ottawa still outstanding and philly was a pickum series.
