It is…no one would have an edge in that market unless they are mining years of data and have somehow found a hole in the book’s methodology. And with the holds they’ll take on that stuff, it’s very unlikely.

Thank you for the insight-

A friend of mine keeps texting me, touting a bet that he is convinced is great - Each team to score a TD and FG in both halves (it happened to hit in both games yesterday). Parlaying 2 games was a 50 to 1 payout. I had to go through the NFL games this season to count how many times this happened. I got through about 15 weeks and it happened 12 times (in about 225 games). If this is accurate over the long run, the payout should probably 350 to 1. Advantage sportsbook.

My feeling is that the sportsbook will almost always be getting the best of it for these type of bets (long shots with seemingly big payouts). Kind of like betting snake eyes at the Craps table. Stay away.

You are saying it hit on Sunday's two games?

My luck would after it hits they would get hit with a roughing the kicker the team would take the penalty and then miss the kick

No, my bad. I'm getting all of his kooky scenarios mixed up (he had several). The one that hit was both teams to score 2 FGs and 2 TDs.
Either way, I'm quite sure it's a negative EV play. Probably by a good bit.

Those odd are bad, but not as bad as either MegaMillions or Powerball.

I really like the Tosu -1.5 first quarter on Hard Rock. Depends on the coin flip and possessions, but that seems low to me.

So much for that...

Here is another play...

Monday, 1/27 - TGL (Golf) - Boston Common Golf -186 Jupiter Links GC

Jumping on the opportunity again to fade this Jupiter team when it has Tiger and Kisner in the lineup (Tom Kim is their third this week). Rory/Scott/Keegan are simply a much strong group at this point.
