Newbie Point Spread Question

So I found $9.28 in my matchbook account and decided to bet on Phil/NY

Anyways, I click on odds and of course I see the spread changing constantly

Near the end of the 2nd quarter, I put $4 on Phil +3.5 with +122 odds. So if that happens I get $4.88 profit
Now, let's say I were to put $4 on NY -4 with +1100. So if that were to happen one would get $44.00 profit

My question though, if I were to get + odds on both teams would it be guaranteed profit???
I'm sure there has to be something I don't understand at all, but a quick explanation would really be appreciated.

911 caller in North Dakota calls police to report a drunken driver: Herself

BISMARCK, N.D. - Police get calls about drunken drivers all the time, but rarely do they come from the alleged offender.

A 17-year-old girl in Bismarck, North Dakota, called 911 on New Year's Eve to report herself driving under the influence. Police Lieutenant Randy Ziegler says he has never heard of such a thing happening before.

The girl told authorities her location shortly before midnight Wednesday and officers found her in a parked car near downtown.

She failed a sobriety test and was arrested for failing to have control of her vehicle while intoxicated.

The girl, whose name was not released because of her age, was not cited for drunken driving.

"Her keys were in her purse and she was parked," Ziegler said. "She did tell us that she had been driving around for hours."

The call probably was a plea for help, he said.

"She told us her life was spiralling out of control, and she had spent the majority of time drinking over the past two weeks," Ziegler said.

The girl was released to her parents.

Anyone Tried this??

Was watching Mantracker and one of the guys being chased decided to impress the bitch he was with as he talked up Valerian Root and how great it is as it just chills you right out. Decided to look it up and found this out and supposedly is readily available in health food stores and stuff..

Valerian root

A relaxant and a tranquilizer. Helps when in stressful situations, by high blood pressure and insomnia.

Product
100 gram

Effects
Valerian calms the central nervous system. It is used against anxiety and overexertion due to the absence of serious hypnotic side effects. Valerian root is often used to help sleep. It helps to fall asleep faster, without feeling dazed when waking.

Usage
Valerian can be used as tea. Mix a few table spoons in half a liter water and let this boil softly for 5 minutes in a closed pan.This is important because the healing vapours should not escape. Let it cool down and drink it with a some honey. An other way to use it is to prepare 50 grams as above. Let the tea evaporate slowly until a sticky residue remains. This can be used in small doses.

Ingredients

Warning
For some people the herb has a stimulating effect instead of a relaxing one. In this case it should not be used. After intensive and long use it can cause headaches and restlessness.
