Sports Betting Approach: How to 'Middle' A Game

In sports betting strategy, are you familiar with the word 'middling' a game? If you're not, you should be because it's a great way to potentially make a huge profit without exposing yourself to very much risk at all. I'll use an example from this 4th week of the college football schedule to clarify the concept.

On Friday there's a game that has Louisiana Tech visiting Nevada. The game opened with Nevada as a 7 point favorite. That's a pretty key number in football since nearly all touchdowns result in 7 points for the team that scored, so you see that number a lot. Nothing strange there. But as the game is approaching we see there has been some serious line movement, and you might be surprised, but this happens in college games quite regularly.

As it stands at the present Nevada is favored by 10.5 points. That's a HUGE move, and what makes it so statistically important is that it has moved by more than 3 points. Why is that so significant? Because 3 is the other regular number at which points are added to a team's score in football. Three and seven, those are extremely significant numbers, and that's why this game presents a perfect 'middling' opportunity.

Let's say that you liked Nevada when the game came out, so you bet them -7. Now the spread has moved to 10.5. So, what happens if you put a bet in on Louisiana +10.5? Worst case scenario, you lose the juice. Most places charge you $110 to win $100. So if one bet loses and one bet wins you'll lose the juice.
There's a good opportunity you could win one bet and push on the other bet (you'll get your money back on the push) because a huge percentage of games each season land on 7 as the final spread. That would be great.

But, more significantly you've provided yourself with a fantastic opportunity to win BOTH bets. How? Well, if the game lands on 8, 9, or 10, that's how!!! These opportunities don't always develop, particularly on a prime time game that is the only one on the schedule, but keep your eye out for situations like these.
The most excellent way to take advantage of this (without having a crystal ball) is to gamble the favorites early (like right when the number comes out) and the 'dogs delayed because most of the cash tends to go on the favorites. Use these 'middling' opportunities to lessen risk and increase the chance of a big score and you'll make even more money this season.

All the best,
