As you may have noticed, the forum was offline for a period. We identified a security incident to Sportsbook Review Forum and took the site offline as a containment step while we investigated.
We wanted to make sure the system and site were restored and secured before bringing things back online and you will see that we are requiring all forum users to reset their password as a precautionary step.
If you have any questions, our moderators are around and happy to help where they can.

In general you'd expect spreads to have more value (or cost you less...) since the vig is lower than moneylines.
The spread and moneylines are simple derivatives of each other. Example:
Pr(Covering 3.5 pts) = Pr(Covering 0 pts) - Pr(Losing by 1 or 2 or 3) = Moneyline - Pr(Losing by 1 or 2 or 3)
So if you like a team and want to know whether to lay the points or take the moneyline, you need to know what the 1 2 and 3 are worth.
If you shop enough sometimes you'll find the best value is in the spread and sometimes you'll find the best value in the moneyline. It's like asking whether you should buy corn or Iowa farmland.
Wow. So here is your answer to this very question I posed. Hmm, but you must not have had your morning coffee yet that day. You were really grumpy.
