I agree that laying -360 (-400 at BOS at game time) is too risky and not enough value if that's how you ALWAYS play. But, if you ever play with your gut, sometimes you make those plays. You win some and you lose some. Smart doesn't have a damn thing to do with it. Using "smart" in this context is just a feel good way of sucking up a loss.
I feel stupid for allowing myself to get sucked into the line. I know I am VERY fortunate to cash this ticket, but it still doesn't mean it was a smart bet.
