To Middle or not to Middle

[derek]

I have Rutger -1 for the game. Should I middle with Villanova second half.

The line is villanova -4 any thoughts?

[MtrCtyPimp]

depends on the size of the GAP

As a Rutgers alumnus...

The reason I stayed away from this game is because Rutgers seems to come up pocket sized every time we think there is a remote chance at a break through "Dare To Be Great" moment.

Is Rutgers making the NIT Final Four this moment? Who knows.

But if I had to put MY MONEY on it, I would think they wouldn't be able to finish off 'Nova without sweating it out first.

Nothing ever comes easy on the banks of the ol' Raritan.

6 point middle

[MtrCtyPimp]

looks like a 9 point middle..............I would take it for HALF the original bet

+8 to -1 looks like a 9 point window to me unless yer assuming the game ends in a tie?

This would be true... IF THE SAME TEAM WERE +8 and -1!!!:angryfire

RU wins by 9+ - Split
RU wins by 8 - Win Push
RU wins by 2-7 - DOUBLE WIN
RU wins by 1 - Win Push
Nova wins - Split

This Math Lesson was brought to you by Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey.

On the Nelligan Sports Network.

then he wouldnt be middling the game for instance if he played Rutgers -1 & then again at -8

what he did is middle the game with Rutgers -1 & Nova +8................if thats mathematically possible to lose both Id LOVE 2 see how

I'm sorry Pimp... which of the above scenarios say DOUBLE LOSS???

[thesandman]

MCP. You are right, he can't lose both. But what he can lose if half of his Rutgers winnings if RU wins by more than 8.
