I have previously had chances for a middle. I like to get my favorites on Monday or Tuesday. One time in 2006 the Packers were under 46 so I jumped on it. By Saturday they were under/over 42. I hesitantly took the over 42 and the game was a blow out game of like 64 total. The middle saved me a full unit.
Another time, maybe 2000, the Saints were just being discovered that they were no longer the "Aints". They went off at -3 and were -6 by game time. I stuck with gut instinct and left it alone. They won by a lot.
Then we have lately. My vip.com account gave me a full point on Auburn. When it was -6.5 they gave me -5.5
I took $500 on Auburn -5.5 and then Tenn +6.5 at another book both -110. I did not really think Auburn would win by 6 but I have not had a middle in years. When Tenn hit +7, I grabbed that for my real bet.
I think vip may have offered the full point hoping many players would do exactly what I did.
That was the biggest waste of $50 I have had in a long time. I am not doing that again.
Anyone routinely take a middle when it is offered?
