    Sort of, but not really. Looked for a similar setup. Kent St trying to throw this away.

      So Kent St won by 7 so my hedge bet 100% covered the 16+ "band" bets that didn't pay out, so that was a complete break even. I'll keep experimenting with this.

        It seems like a foolproof method as long as the team you are picking to win (big) wins... very very interesting, especially for large favorites - couldn't you just reverse the hedge to the 20+ lines, and then 1-5, 6-11, 11-17 or whatever they are be the money makers with no ML safety net?

        EDIT: or, actually, just use their + odds (+11.5, +14.5, +17.5 or whatever) incase they don't win big??

        You might be onto something here.

          I gotta think about this one.

            Trying this with the Drake vs Illinois State game tonight. Going to include the 11-15 point margin band this time, which means I also have to increase the hedge, which also means overall profit will drop but it will increase the number of "hits". I hope Drake wins!

                North Texas is at East Carolina tonight. The spread is -2.5 for North Texas. I know it's a home game for East Carolina, and they recently beat Temple, but ... that -2.5 seems attractively low to me? Am I missing something?

                    Me too. And I was all like ...



                    ... but then I was like ....



                    ... because something this obvious is probably not as obvious as it seems?!?!

                      East Carolina is playing out of their minds. I wonder if they can sustain it?

                        Those bookies are schmart! Don't see North Texas winning, let alone getting -2.5. But East Carolina is playing out of their minds -- which makes the game a pretty fun watch!

                          They did not.

                              Drake winning 43 to 27 at half time.

                                Drake won by 21, which gave +1200 odds. When combined with the "hedge" bet at -335 odds that also paid out, and then subtracting the "losses" on the bands that didn't pay out ... this ended up being about a final ROI of +59%. Not nearly the 400% that the Shox gave me, but not bad for a day's work either. :)
