What is a middle?

Most often, the middle strategy is used in connection with basketball games. Let us take a closer look at the example.  The first bookmaker offers total goals under 159.5, odds 1.96. The second bookmaker offers total goals over 156.5, odds 1.8. If the game ends with total goals of 157, 158, 159, the player will win both bets. In any other case he will win one of the bets, which is also quite good.

Middle betting (middling) is a strategy to bet on two arms (outcomes) with some reserve. The advantage of middle bets is a good profit when you hit the middle.
