Steven Budin-CEO
SUNDAY'S PICK
50 DIME
PHILADELPHIA
Note From Steve Budin:
Philadelphia is a solid -3 as this play is released.
If you have Philadelphia -3, I suggest you buy down the 1/2 point to -2 1/2 so you get the win should Philadelphia win by three.
If for some reason you get Philadelphia at -3 1/2 - even after shopping around - buy down the 1/2 point to -3 so you get the push should Philadelphia only prevail by a field goal.
Take it from a former bookmaker and the guy who fathered the offshore sportsbook industry that too many gamblers and handicappers needlessly buy half points on all types of numbers. But the ONLY number that matters from a bookmaker's perspective is 3 because of overtime and that's why its the only number they (bookmakers) charge the extra juice for. Once again, we're using the power of money - our bulging bankroll - against the bookmaker in this case.
Why not buy a little extra insurance at a few cents on the dollar to protect your investment? As CEO of a multi-million dollar company I can tell you it's the right move, just like I knew it was the right move when as a bookmaker I saw smart players doing the same thing when the opportunity presented itself.
