Does 5 dimes have the same line as my site?

I'm not really seeing much else I like other than the handful I played at open Sunday. Maybe a few first half plays.

ETA: Who am I kidding? I'm probably going to lock in 4 or 5 more tonight.

I'm doing pretty good this week. Only four locked in.

Watching a few lines.

Wake getting 28 points against FSU is interesting. Hoping it keeps climbing.

Yeah Wake dropped back to 27.5 on 5D. I'm looking at ULL +22.5.

WVU line is at (-31.5) now.

Question. What is "going middle"?

Same reason I was skeptical of Okie St last week, I don't think they can stop anybody. Some of it may be because I'm still mad I talked myself out of Arizona and sat that one out. But I think ULL will be able to put together enough drives to limit their possessions.

It's where you bet a line then take the opposite when line moves and try and hit the middle.

So say you took Bama -14, then the line moves to Arkansas +21.5, and you take it. You now have a window to win both bets. 14 to 21 hits both bets for you. Other wise you break even.

oh I see. that makes sense. Are there any general rules for doing this? (Kinda like the standard teaser rule with crossing key numbers)

WVU at -31.5 and I got them at -21.5. At what point should I try to hit middle with this game in your opinion.
