    i think a lot more of home teams -140 and -160 win, and that chalk is for homefield advantage. GL.

        I dont necessarily have a hard limit, but I typically will look at the run line when the chalk gets to the -160 range. So, artificially, around -160.

          Once they get above -150ish, I start looking for other options, whether it be a -1RL, or occasionally parlaying two high juice teams together - I know deep down that it probably isn't the best move, but as a casual gambler it works just fine.

                  Anything above 220 is an auto fade cause the Dawg is winning you can bet your life on it

                    About -170. I don't often do over -150, either.

                    If I see a team +225 or higher, I almost always take them for a value play. For example, Pittsburgh on Tuesday.

                    Same for hockey, really.

                          Not on the ballot, but I generally don't go above -140. And I need + 120 on the run line.

My limit is -150 maybe -160. What I am telling you all now has cost me tens of thousands of dollars. One will not be a successful handycapper untill one understands that a team + 200 has just as good a chance of winning as a team -200. I hope this helps some of you because it is true.!

                            If you look at games this way the dogs always looks better.

                            Team A -200
                            Team B +180


                            Risk $200 to win $100 on team A

                            Risk $200 to win $360 on team B


                            Same risk but the payout is 3.6 times higher.

                                    Those aren't the only thing fake in that picture. Look how stiff those bills are.

                                      I rather be a square and take RL's instead of laying high juice.
