Budin 50 dimer
MONDAY'S PICK 50 DIME
MINNESOTA
Note From Steve Budin:
Minnesota has been a steady -3 1/2 point favorite all week as this play is posted around 1 AM Eastern Saturday morning.
If the line remains -3 1/2, or moves to -4 or even -4 1/2, buy down the 1/2 point in each situation.
Thus, if you reduce the price to -3, and the Vikings prevail by just a field goal, you walk away with a push.
If the price is moved from -4 to -3 1/2, and the Vikings win by four, you get the win.
And if the price is moved from -4 1/2 to -4, a four-point win by the Vikings results in yet another push.
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. In this case, however, it's a wise investment strategy, using the power of money - our bulging bankroll - against the bookmaker.
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.
(I love Budin's 50 and 100 dime plays. Of course, he only had one 100 dimer last year. Hopefully he has another this year.)
(I pray I can get this at -3 or better. I love the Vikings here.)
