Laying Chalk is the worst bet you can ever make imo. I’ve done it before and have had success but also losing -200,-300,-400 does happen and has obliterated bankrolls faster than just giving up the points. One thing I’ve realized is if you’re really debating taking a chalk team on the ML, you’ve already subconsciously told yourself you think it’ll be close. In that case , take the + points or other team +ML
I appreciate the insight. But that's not answering my simple question. I'm not asking what you guys are betting tonight? I'm simply asking which bet you think is better? Money-wise, value-wise, intelligent wise?? I personally think B is better. Yes you're risking more, yes you're making $20 less, but your winning percentage goes WAY UP when you have the money line compared to -4.5. I think B is a much better wager. A or B, which one is better? I'm not saying do it? I'm just asking which one do you guys think is better? Or, risking a) 110 win 100 Minnesota -4.5 or b) Minnesota money line 200 win 100. I will take B again.
This is not really answering the question but sometimes I like to play half the wager on the money-line and half on the spread. Split it up.
Not sure I would put extra money just to play the ML. If you lose, then you lost $200 extra. Depends on how much your win to loss ratio would be I guess.
The question really is how often does the team that just wins cover the spread, specifically in the playoffs...
In my opinion it is Always better to sell points than to buy points or favorite ML.If you check the frequency that it comes into play, the extra$ is worth more.
Books love selling points ,ML favs and teasers like they love parlays; the math is on their side. I'm feeling a Wolves solid win so I put some of my bet on -7 for extra$ because I found a good price. I always take ML dogs in game, especially first half and I often bet the other side if they also become a ML dog because that is the definition of free $. It helps a lot if you can find a book that's not charging insane juice on in game ML.

Given the Scottie Scheffler hot take offered in that masters golf thread from a few weeks ago, your opinion on anything is worthless, sports or anything else related.
Go buy the domain www.iamalwayswrong.brokecuck before some other clueless low IQ poor donkey steals it from you.

My thread brought out the IQ levels of a lot of people on this website?????!!! And it's hilarious. Some people actually believe that I even had Minnesota - 4.5 or I had Minnesota money line. Please find my post where I said I had either one, or I was even playing tonight. I had a question? And that's all I had? But according to some guys, I had a wager tonight. The IQ levels on his website are very low? And it's hilarious! By all means, do not stop posting, I am laughing my ass off at you idiots.
It depends on the game - both ML and handicaps are set with -ev in mind by the bookmakers - the general rule of thumb is that it is easier to beat the handicap market as the juice is less, at least with the Asian bookmakers (sharps) - I am not 100% how it works with the American faced ones - because for us that has a choice those are the worst (atleast when it comes to odds)
Glad I could help. I'll happily give you the guidance that you need, but are too shy to ask.
