ted, the home teams that are double digit favorites are: 30-2 over the last 32 games that qualifiy (SU), any way to exploit this and make money? i know the answer, just curious as to yours. tonights lis of qualifiers:

RI-10
Del -10.5
Xav-14
Neb-19
Pur-13
KST-10
Ok ST-10
Aub-11
Ill-20
Wis-13

this was a list of 10 off Oly's site, as of 3:45.. how many of these will lose tonight outright? any would one's handicapping ability weed out a few of these selections..

SSI does it have to do something with ML & parlay's? what angle are you thinking...doubles, triples?

 

[SSI]

yes it has to do with ML parlays, doubles mostly. some triples and maybe more as one's capping ability has to come into play as well.. returns have been perfect for me over the last week.. KY and Witchita st were losers on saturday.. all the rest were winners, this just goes back over the last 32.

SSI:

There are some of these that one's handicapping ability would allow them to assume that the team would at least win outright although not cover. Once that list was narrowed, it would leave a short list of possible DD favorites that would lose outright and thereby provide possible ML plays or parlays. I will tell you that over the years, it has been my sense that away favorites are the weakest of the four spread sides to play. Now, couple that with a DD away favorite, and I wouldn't be surprised if the number of road favorites actually losing is greater than home favorites. Therein, more value and greater possibilities for ML plays and parlays exist. Add in the conference or division opposition and the away favorite becomes even weaker. Once again, if you want to look at some archived data, visit www.donbest.com and click on the tab for "Scores" and you can get each and every day with the closing line. This would allow you to compile more than just the last 32 games. Hope we are getting near to an answer that you are seeking. I'm trying my best to help you if I can.
