Steven Budin-CEO SUNDAY'S PICK 25 DIME PLAY
MINNESOTA
This price is between 2 1/2 and 3.
If you have +3, I suggest you buy up the 1/2 point to make Minnesota a 3 1/2 point underdog so you get the win should Jacksonville prevail by only a field goal.
If you have Minnesota +2 1/2, either shop around for 3 or buy up the 1/2 point to +3 so you get a push even if Jackonsville wins 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.
