Money Line or Spread betting - what has more value

[lovekamina]

Hi!

I am wondering which one is more effective in the long term; I am thinking esspecially about dogs with a line up to max. + 10 to play at moneyline. Often when the dogs cover the spread they also win the game.

For example lets take LA Clippers vs Portland today:
Spread +7 1.952
Money Line 3.55
(Betphoenix)

When I calculate both sides of the lines the Spread has -2.40 % and the ML around -4.00 %

Anyway - could there be more value in the ML in general?

Looking forward to your answers

+255 is equivalent to +6.5 -102.6, so +7 is better in this case.

Just use the Spread/ML Converter in SBR Tools

LT question for you - how do you convert a win percentage to a moneyline?

I usually take the ML if spread for the dog is less than +2.5. it has some risks but all depends on your analysis of the game
