Did you count juice in your total? How many units on the play? Hard for people to chime in or follow if you post 1 minute before the start...
No worries. I think you are risking 25 regardless of it being a favorite or dog.... and that is the confusion for people. Generally, when people play 1 unit on a -110 game, they risk 1.1 units to win 1 unit. And when people play +110 or +150 they put 1 unit down to win 1.1 or 1.5.
So in your case, some may see $25 risked at -125 (Detroit game from yesterday) as being a 31.50 bet to win 25.
