So, the risk being if it doesn't move like you expect then you will lose juice instead of gaining it if you buy it back right?

true that would be a BITCH but who in there right mind would put $$$ on the rockies :mj07: :mj07: :mj07:

Yes, there are no guarantees. However, right now Pinnacle has Rockies +149. I won a lot of money tonight on Kings so I won't be too upset if I am wrong on this. There should be heavy action tom. on Giants with J. Schmidt pitching. -150 or -160 will seem like a bargain price to many AND Giants winning yesterday helps. Game is also LATE in the day so there should be bets made all day and all those bettors who are looking for a solid favorite to get their money back will go with the Giants.

I did this this today with Red Sox against Devil Rays. I took Red Sox -175 knowing/predictiing heavy $$$ would be bet on Red Sox especially after beating NY and Wells pitching at home. I was right and then I took Tampa Bay +190.

$525 to win $300 Red Sox -175
$200 to win $380 Tampa Bay +190

Red Sox win = $100 profit
Tampa Bay win = $145 loss

So I had David Wells and Red Sox at -145 instead of -200. I actually jumped the gun, as I could have had Tampa Bay +194. Now I only did this because I liked the Red Sox to win today but I could have put more $$$ on Devil Rays and had lowered or made zero risk of losses. But the main thing is you have to be right about line movement. If no line moves, then you put yourself at risk of minor losses. If line moves against you, you really screwed yourself.

I have thousands of dollars to be rolled over in my Olympic account and I don't want to lose my bonus. So this is a relatively safe way of betting that easily could turn in a nice profit at minimal risk (provided the line doesn't move against me) and I roll over my account at the same time!!!

Rockies are +149 at Pinny, so if I see $$$ going on Rockies, I will immediately bet at Pinny on CO and take small loss if Rockies win. I am predicting that Rockies will be above +150 tom.

Lets see the results tom. If Rockies go over +150, I can get guaranteed profit. Its already +149 at Pinny. Wouldn't making guaranteed $$$ be worth posting? Or how about having a position of having CO wins you profit and if Giants win you break even. Wouldn't that be nice situation? Thats why I posted it. Only took 30 sec. of my time to post it anyways. Nobody has to follow.

*I don't do this on regular basis. Only 2nd time all year. I sorta just pick my spots when I feel strongly a line will move.

Rockies over Giants

$2,632 to win $4,000 +152 (betcris)

Rockies win = break even
Giants win = + $34.66 profit

Was hoping to get bigger line movement and get Rockies +160 or higher. :( Decided to pull trigger now since Pinny dropped to +150 for Rockies and Cris has +152.
