I need help figuring out the correct play in this contest.
This NJ site (Pointsbet) has been running a promo in which I have a one point lead over two opponents going into the last 3 games. Everyone else is mathematically eliminated.
These are the rules:
- Must place a minimum $10 MoneyLine Bet on game to count towards your point total.
- Each favored team win will get you 1 point. Each Underdog Win Gets you 2 points. Favourites/Underdogs decided by PointsBet MoneyLine at tip-off.
- Most total points (on games with Min $10 Bet) wins $5000 Bonus Bet!
I have a fundamental understanding of why I would make each bet, but I'm not sure which one is right or if there's an obvious strategy I should be implementing.
FYI: VA is going off as a -250 favorite and Mich St is going off as a -160 favorite. Also, unsure of what a tie means. I'd say it's 50/50 whether they split the prize or give all winners $5K.
