Steven Budin-CEO
MONDAY'S PICK
NEW YORK CREW
25 DIME SIDE RELEASE
Denver Nuggets
Note from Steve Budin:
As I release this selection from the New York Crew, I see the line on this game is anywhere from Denver -4 to -4 1/2.
If you have -4 1/2, buy down the 1/2 point to Denver -4 so you get at least a push should the Nuggets only win by four points.
If you have -4, buy down the 1/2 point to Denver -3 1/2 so you get a win should the Nuggets only win by four points.
If this line increases - or you get stuck with Denver at -5 despite shopping round - you would still buy down the 1/2 point to make the Nuggets a 4 1/2 point favorite, guaranteeing a win should they prevail only by five points.
Take it from a former bookmaker and the guy who fathered the offshore sportsbook industry: we're using the power of money - our bulging bankroll - against the bookmaker in these cases.
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.
