Default Re: Decent Thanksgiving middle avail.

Okay, in my exercise in middling, did I do this right?

Detroit +3.5 -115 (Sportsbook) 11.23/9.77
Atlanta -3 +110 (Pinny) 10/11

Risking 23 cents to win $11. I placed the Atlanta bet earlier in the week, believing that the line would move towards them later in the week. I could only find Detroit +3.5, -120, but as it got closer to game time, Sportsbook was offering +3 +105, which I bought half a point to get to +3.5 -115.

Edit: I guess I'm really risking 23 cents to win 9.77 since the the spread can only hit 3 points, not 3.5 points.
