Do you often try to middle De Niro?

Do books frown on this?

I just reloaded with them. I remember them having some opinionated lines for bases last year. I saw some unique numbers there for sure. I have never played hoops with them until just recently, but it looks like it paid off!

You don't know the half of it. Today was just icing on the cake after a ridiculously good week with minimal effort.

Is there actually value in trying to middle? I did it just to experiment....never thought it would acutally hit! Can you profit trying to do this?

Congrats pepeep. A one-point middle(depending on the vig, of course) isn't a winning proposition in the long run, but a win is a win.

D2, speaking of local teams, what is going on with the Illini? Weber still hasn't figured out how to beat a zone defense, Augustine has regressed from last season, Brown doesn't realize that being the quickest guard in the big ten, he IS allowed to take the ball to the basket, rather than only shoot 3s. I doubt they even make the NCAAs this year.

I know what you mean D2, Ive hit a few sides this week myself, finally got that middle tonight.

Jazz and yourself are middling experts, I follow a good portion of your guidelines.

I think you have to be crazy NOT to scalp and middle, just makes good sense to me. This provides me a very entertaining, cheap, many times profitable, way to spend a few hours.

Thanks for the heads up. It was my first time and I had great vig on each side so I went for it. I don't plan on doing this all that often...but I will keep an eye out for it!
