As much of a parlay freak as I can be, I'm not sure I follow you Mach. I respect your accumen a great deal but that is just playing it normal without trying to convert it into the most cash possible, IMO!

What I am saying is that the perfect scenario is this:
You have a $100 matchplay. You bet it on a +1000 tennis dog at that out and by some miracle find the bet at -900 the other way elsewhere and bet 900 there. So now you've converted it to 100 instead of the 50 it was more worth to begin with if you bet it on a spread line. Yes the scalp helped offset the vig/juice loss but the higher the line and scalp the better your "conversion rate". Then the 100 is free and clear and yours. Even if you can't scalp it and play the other side 925 on a -1100 line or whatever mix you use to get close to 100 either way or even bet the 1000 and bet the dog won't bark and leave you with having converted to zero. The higher the odds the closer you are able to get to the 100 conversion.
