Honest question. Love the pick, by the way. My question is basketball only. If a team is favored by 1, why pay the extra juice on the ML? It obviously can’t end in a tie so you are paying steep price to avoid a push, no? Why not instead, split your bet putting enough on ML so that if -1 ends up a push, you still win, and you pay less juice. 
im trying to think thru this further to see if I missed anything. Would love some feedback, assuming I explained it in a way that makes some sense

@Starnes

In basketball a lot of times teams will foul themselves out of +1 hoping the team that’s up will miss a FT.  Unless it’s a buzzer beater shot that ends the game.

people do what you’re suggesting in baseball sometimes though where they’ll like split ML and RL if the book they use doesn’t offer -1
