Great advice Bookie!

There was a thread last year that someone posted about the key numbers and explanations...

Can some explain or repost?

Could you share your thoughts on when to play underdog MLs?

I was once told by someone way smarter than me that he played all dogs on the ML when the spread was 7 or greater....now he would play the spread and then just sprinkle a little (we're talking fractions of his regular bet) on the ML...if its a small % of ur bet losing on the ML and winning on the spread isn't too bad, and the wins are even better. Hope this helps

Also I think there is no set plan for playing ML dogs.... It has to be a feel type of thing...

Everytime I think about buying points I stop meyself & play the other side and win about 75% of the time. Too bad I only consider buying points 1% of the time

Yeah agreed, if you sell a whole point off a flat number you usually get plus money and only risk going from a win to a push or a push to a loss. If your smart by doing things like avoiding big key numbers and using games where the total is higher (indicating higher expected final score volatility) you can really make a difference.

I know 5dimes is good about letting you sell points with a reasonable return, but I haven't really had much luck finding any other ones that offer a good return (looking at you, Heritage). Anyone have any others they like to sell points with?

I can definitely second this about 5dimes. It really nice if you think the Giants-Cardinals were going to go UNDER 6 for a price like +135. Not too shabby at all in my opinion!

BR - appreciate the great advice. Keep on winning!

If you know what you are doing, you can kill playing teasers in the NFL. I play teasers every week in the NFL and I think I have lost 1 all year. You have to be smart about it though.

If you don't know what you are doing, then I agree with not playing teasers. If you do not know what you are doing, it is an easy way to bury yourself.

I am not saying you can't win but out of several hundreds guys I know that play teasers not 1 wins consistently

5dimes is a great book for dog players especially so if you are following my Needs 5dimes and SIA are the best

Bookie report, what about 1st/2nd half bets?

1st and 2nd half bets are fine...there are some important systems you should adhere to win with 2nd half betting...here's one of them...be careful trying to middle. normally books don't like getting middled for example lets say you played florida -3.5 against south carolina and at halftime the score is 20-10 and line is florida -3...I would never play florida in this spot for the 2nd half but if I did it would be because I know florida is going to blow out sc because most likely sc wont win by 3 because if they do...books would get middled. Get my point?

this is an interesting question because most of my guys who play ML...they play the ML faves which is dumb...playing ML faves is definitely a losing proposition over time. In NFL I would ALWAYS play the Spread and never play the dog on the ML because the spread comes into play a lot in the NFL and the lines are tighter. However with CFB I do believe playing ML dogs is the way to go especially if the line is low like 6 or less...better odds than playing the spread and with so many games the lines are looser.
