Took the special for the NBA's playoff matchup for tonight and applied your strategy too see which odds would be better and these are the results:

Tried to boost the odds but putting it on the special didn't seem to work.
note: just tried to apply the price boost feature to the betbuilder to compare the odds to the special and it worked:
The one I posted the other day was a rare case, it doesn't happen regularly because the special odds would also adjust, but it doesn't hurt to always check in case there's a big difference between the two.
