Yeah, that's what I always think. If you back the outsider to win UNDER the margin and they win OVER, you've correctly tipped an upset and still lost. Personally, if I think the underdogs are going to win, I'll generally play safe and back them on the line. I had the Kangaroos with the start last week and that bet was never really in doubt. If I had backed them 1-39 which is the result I would have predicted, then I wouldn't have been happy at all. |
