- Excellent idea. The only problem is that I believe the
- bet in the over/under circle can be no larger than the bet in the main circle,
- so I'd have to find someone who is betting high only on the main bet, or
- otherwise place a backline bet in the main circle as well as the over/under,
- in which case they'd better be playing basic strategy or a close approximation!
