Avoid locking into a spread or moneyline position until the relevant information and a current price are available.

At 48.5 or higher, consider the under; pass at lower totals.
Look for live value rather than guessing the opener
If an early score pushes the live total upward, wait for a better under entry and pass without meaningful cushion.
