Fishhead, Thanks for taking all the time and helping me with this. I put together a chart (old school- pen,paper and calculator) and played out 100 bets saying each # 1-10 would hit 3.35 % and than figurd out with the different vig sizes how much money would be won making 100 wagers (1pt,1.5 2 middles). I know you have been saying that but for some reason i don't comprehend how to utilize that #(6.5 cents) to figure it out. I want this to profitable in the longterm so I need to be 100% accurate and I'm not sure if I fully understand how to figure it out.

For ALL numbers UNDER ten you should never risk more than 6.5 cents per half point.

For instance...

-3 -104
+4 -110

In this example you would be risking a TOTAL of 14 cents for the two half points which would equal to 7 cents per half.........not good(have to stay at 6.5 or lower.

Make the numbers 2 and 7 worth a penny more........7.5 cents.

So, I personally would play something like this......

-4 -104
+5.5 -114

That is 18 cents divided by 3(half points)........so therefore you are paying 6 cents per half.............which is a VERY small win longterm using our 6.7 cent criteria(7.5 cents on the numbers 2 and 7).

Well i guess you learn something new everyday (and beleive me I have learned alot the past month):thumbsup2: . The worst part is I am pretty good at math but I do have to see something for me to fully understand it. One lesson I have learned is you can't be afraid to ask questions even when you think they have simple answers.The last thing you want to do is "think you know what your'e doing and find out later it was all wrong" You're way is alot easier than my "little" chart i put together and I imagine even more accurate. Well,can't get back those 45 minutes of life (putting chart together). Thanks again

If you are going to middle halftime lines you better know what you are doing, even if you do you will still get caught with your pants down a lot. Without a database I would not try to middle halftimes- lines move way to fast.
