I think the u35/5 +145 is the best but I cant find it

I know, but I am pretty sure that it isn't this case. Mathematically, u40 -130 is the better long-run bet. Someone else please confirm/deny.

I don't have a vig/point calculation for kobe, but I play a ton of nba player props for games and I'd much rather have the u40 as a gut reaction.

the value of a half point depends on where you think the true line is.

for example, if i think the dodgers are a true 83 win team, it might be worth betting under 88 at -110 instead of 87.5 straight up, but it will certainly not be worth it to pay -110 to bet under 100.5 instead of under 100 at even.

the under 40 is probably still better, but in a case like this where the line is far off from the true line, it's an important consideration.

side note: glad i didn't find this thread last night.

the no at -155 for this bet seems like huge +++++++++EV, too good to be true. Statistically, it should be in the -500 range.
