Re: \"Soft Middle\"
[ QUOTE ]
Okay, I'm a noob and this the first I've seen of this. Can someone please explain this to me numbers-wise how it works out?
Let me see how this works
If the total was under 41, you'd win $97.27 and lose $100, for a net loss of $2.73
If the total was over 41, you'd win $104.25 and lose $107, for a net loss of $2.75
If the total was exactly 41, you'd win $104.25 and push on the other bet for a net win of $104.25
So, the reason for middling this is a low risk ($2.75 at most), high reward longshot bet, right?
Should I be middling or soft middling every chance I can get, even on games I would not normally bet?
And congrats on the win!

Thanks...I estimated the ~2.6% cost was lower than the odds of 41 hitting so I took it.
