TA,
I know that one reason you'd still play the other side at Pinn, even though losing the majority, is to decrease your exposure. If you just bet against them then you are at 100% risk, with scalps I know I bet MUCH MORE than NORMAL and wouldn't be within reason to "unload" on gambles that are closer to 55% or whatever your win% is ( as that's radical and bad $ management, IMO ). What you do instead is leave a "regular gamble" in the scalp, what I call partial scalping, and increase your odds DRAMATICALLY over just having played it straight at the better price ( or non-Pinn out ). See the basic training section on scalps where we discuss this. It is a very powerfull WEAPON even for "non scalpers" to use. The example Philo gave in it is a 2 units to 1, but I often have 21 to 20 or MORE! Depending on limits and scalp size you can have no risk and more reward than your usual bet or the same risk and many times the normal return. I've been using this technique for years and I'm no big scalper or middler - just tinker with them some. But you still need the Pinn side because it isn't like its 100% they win every opinionated line, just that they apparently win more than their share for many of us. Look into it the next time you line shop! If the game you like also has an available scalp, USE IT TO YOUR ADVANTAGE AS A CAPPER/GAMBLER NON-SCALPER! Pound both sides and leave whatever risk you would have to begin with.
