To make things short, can anyone recommend a way where you an cover the lines on both team, thus eliminating risks and still come out with a return in the long range?
The only way to *eliminate* risk (other than the risk of being burnt by your bookie) is through scalp (arbitrage) opporunities whereby regardless of the result of the game you profit.
Middles and sides in a point range that is show over the long-term to be pfotiable eliminates nearly all long-term risk, but not all. The specifics of this has been discussed elsewhere and is a very in-depth topic in itself.
