Middling across 9 is not profitable by itself.

noob alert, please excuse ineptness

to make sure I understand : the reason for this is that not very many football games are decided by 9pts? Therefor its very unlikely that you'll hit the 9pt win you need for this to pay off. So you're risking the vig for a long shot, correct?

thanks!

That is why. I don't remember the exact percentage that the fav wins by exactly 9, but you need to win this bet 5% of the time to break even and I know the fav wins by 9 much less than this.
