No feel right now.
I like that approach, Ray.
I trust what I see, not what I read.
Kickoff time tonight is set for 8:25 ET.
hows that black kid Mahomes? Any good?texans wins if switch qbs with chiefs, Watson sucks
Houston on the board first.
After the Texans scored, Kansas City was listed as a 3.5-point favorite in live wagering.
Love your contributions, RAY.
Quick question: Why announce you have no feel right now yet post a selection on the first game of the season?
It depends on a few things, namely how much do you like the original play. Since you bet it for action,I may have thrown half on the -3.5.Question for anyone on this concerning live wagering
You have Texans plus 9.5
Short goes up 7-0
Live line Chiefs -3.5
What percentage of your original bet do you lay the 3.5? Or just sit and do nothing?

Why hedge unless that was part of your plan to begin with?
But shooting for the middle on the entire wager allows you to take 20/1 on the game (assuming-110 on both lines) or 10/1 if you catch a side (assuming no half points involved)
No, middling odds don't apply if you are betting in-progress or a halftime. In this case, you are "gambling away" the huge equity of the original Texans +9.5 bet in which they are ahead by 7 points. You can make the case that the in-progress KC -3.5 standalone bet at this point is +EV based on your analysis and if that is the case you have two +EV bets in play.
I remember many years ago the former Michigan bartender, Ted Sevransky (Teddy Covers) made the same claim on the radio about halftime "middles". Eventually Fezzik got hold of him and explained with a -EV halftime bet he was just losing equity from the original bet.
