I'm currently up 83 units since August, betting MLB, NFL, and NCAAF. My play for tonight?

Texas A&M / Oklahoma State under 66.5 -110 (risking $55 to win $50)

Anybody else playing this game?

    For the life of me, I can't justify "risking $55 to win $50. Where's the logic here?

      I see your point water otter and would be interested to see scubasteve's response.

      A friend of mine "arbs" on Betfair in the UK and has been earning between 20 to 30k a year tax free for about five years. I did try it but not really for me. It would be interesting to understand though whther you are betting Steve or trading the markets - same thing I guess but er different.

      I am not after your system (I've sampled most of them) just a flavour of what you do to earn the 83 units. Congratulations by the way.

      The extra $5 is juice paid to the sportsbook if your bet loses. It's how they make money.

    20 to 30K would be nice! Here in Canada, the lottery and gaming are too crooked.

    Yesterday's loss sucked. The under looked really good at halftime, then
    it fell apart in the 2nd half.

    For today, I'm going with...

    NCAAF: BYU 1H -2.5 -110 (risking $55 to win $50)
