Too many variables to answer. But if you're stuck between deciding, find a book that offers -1 lines.

In reality they ALL do, even if they don't directly. If they do not offer -1, create it yourself with combination of favorite ML and RL.

For example, let's say you want Team A -1 to win 100 and book has ML -130 and -1.5 +160. You would bet 50 to win 38.46 on ML and 38.46 to win 61.54 at -1.5. If team covers -1.5, you win 100. If team wins by 1, you break even (effectively pushing -1). Total risk is 88.46 so bet is effectively -1 +113ish.

Funny you mention that, LT. That's what I have to do tonight on the Seattle game. -140 is my ML cutoff.
