Multiply that times all the gamblers that will use this strategy and Vegas gets creamed.
There are probably not very many people that did that, the odds are very low it hits right down the middle, if it does, what they lose is not a big deal.

It's a no-lose scenario.
If UNC wins; the gambler loses bet No. 1 and wins bet No. 2 = a wash.
If LSU wins by 20 the gambler wins bet No. 1 and loses bet No. 2 = a wash.
If LSU wins by 2 or 3 the gambler wins bets 1 and 2.
He cannot lose any money.

Middling has been a science for many years, and it pays in the long run. Don't underestimate it.
You will rarely see a big line move on Monday night games for this reason.
You will also be very surprised how many times the number drops right in the slot. Lines are very accurate.
The Vegas Power Ratings are my most reliable source for determining team strength. LSU has been highly rated by them since the Saban days, but non-mysteriously waning lately.

The problem is that the gambler can't lose. The house HATES that scenario. You would do that every time if you could. If you knew you couldn't lose, you would bet everything you could put up - if you win, you quadruple, otherwise you push.
