Jordy Nelson over 45.5 receiving yards 1.87 Sportsbet
Jordy Nelson under 49.5 receiving yards 1.88 Crownbet
To break even long term here, Nelson would have to record 46-49 receiving yards once in every 14, or 7.143% of the time. I would prefer either greater odds, or more margin between the two lines.

At what odds would you take the bet?
I only bothered looking at Nelson's stats since the start of 2014, and not once (in almost 60 games) did he record between 46-49 receiving yards in a single game. I just don't think you'd end up ahead long term if you took that bet 100 times.

For me to even entertain that middle you posted, I'd want to target a player with a low standard deviation. Inconsistent players who get 20 receivings yards one week and up to 120 the next aren't as likely to make you a long term profit with hundreds of attempts using the middle you posted. A player who rarely falls below 30 and rarely goes above 70 would be more appealing to me, and especially players who have a higher percentage of receiving yards around the target of 46-49.

As a rule, I target players with a low standard deviation with a 10-point middle if I am getting around $1.87 odds. I generally find about five or six of these per week, so I don't bother going for anything less than that.

You're the master :thumbsu:
 
Had another arb on an over/under assists market for an individual player on the Portland game and sportsbet changed the odds from 2.16 to 1.87 as I placed the bet. I came back 10 minutes later and the odds had changed again back up to 2.06

Bastards.
