I usually post about the spread every year...

Whether it's in someone's thread, or my own. Instead of writing it all out, here's a quick video that says it all.

In a nutshell, pick the winner(not easy by any means), take the fav on the spread, or the dog on the ML. By paying an average of -110 or better on the fav ats, and dog ML(+whatever), you'll profit a whole lot more than taking the dog ats, and God forbid the favs on the ML. Where prices like -125, -150, -175 or more will kill you. And that goes for putting those in parlays as well.

Don't be so concerned about closing line value. In the super long run, yea ok I get it. 

We pay enough taxes on our properties, our purchases, shit we sell, "unrealized gains"(good lord have mercy) in our regular lives.

Why pay the books more taxes? The government takes enough as it is.

Good Luck and Godspeed to all you degenerates, aka my ilk.

This is the best post anyone could read.

By far

Just looking at some lines from different books:

If you like the Texans, which line are you betting?

+2(-105), +2.5(-115), or +117

If you like the Jets:

-2(-110) or -130

@undermysac

 There are a few here but one in particular that constantly is taking large ML favorites, buying points and playing teasers. It is a losing proposition in the long run and that is a fact. 

@underm words of wisdom.You forgot to add make your picks before doing numerous double shots of Wild Turkey.

I will one up this entire thread

Sports betting long term period is a losing proposition.

ANY TYPE OF GAMBLING, is a losing outcome for anyone long time. There is no such thing as a professional slot player a professional poker player or even a professional sports bettor. Those who have those "titles" make money from sponsors and not gambling they donate some of their income from said sources to further their professional status and garner more attention and in today's world the more viewers or followers or reach you have, the more money you command. It's all run by capitalism and corporations.

Houston -3 (+155).

 Would need 39.22% to be profitable.

Dog Rams (won by 10)

Dog Eagles (won by 20)

Dog Browns (won by 5)

Dog Patriots (won by 3)

If your model has your team favored why let the book set the price.
