I like your thinking on increasing your odds, but it has to be on a scalp that is available right there and then, unless you are real good a picking out leads. I havent often wondered about the pitfalls of doing this when I have my normal play on a side. Do I want to reduce my bet size, but increase my edge? Guess its time for me to get excel out and create a sheet that can tell me straight away what decision to make.
As far as scalping out of a book. Does anyone subscribe to the idea of finding the biggest favourite you can, and scalping/playing both sides(saying this as you could play just to lose 4%), taking the fav with your strong book, and the dog with your weak book. Problem is that with US sports you'll have a hard time finding the big Moneyline numbers. Also if the bad case happens, i.e. dog wins outright, you left with a load of money in your "weak" book.
