Let's say you're betting a game at odds of -105.
If you place a $0.10 bet and win, you make $0.095 profit, which gets rounded up to $0.10.
You've essentially just increased your odds from -105 to +100, a difference of 5%.
So instead of placing a $100 bet, wouldn't you be better off placing 1000 x $0.10 bets?
I know it's ridiculous, but I'm curious if anyone else has thought about this or found a way to take advantage of rounding off the pennies. We're all trying to maximize value all the time, and this just seems like a simple, albeit time consuming, way to do it.
