I very rarely play money lines in football but noticed the spreads on these are very tight at bookmaker. For instance its:
Arizona St. +145
Oregon St. -165
This has a theoretical hold of ~2.9%, or 35% less than the -110 spread pricing.
Is it safe to say you would lose less money in the long run (per $1 bet) by randomly betting money lines over point spreads at these levels, or am I missing something?
I am sure the money management equation becomes very complicated if only playing ML's, but does anyone have experience playing these primarily and would like to share any pros/cons.
Thanks
