    In Football, are you a Point Spread guy or Totals guy?

    Sometimes going for Totals can be easy. But most common is the spread to cover.

    I prefer totals, but point spread teasers are cool too

    Don't know why you need to be either, and not both. Sides, totals, and props. More action is always better.

    All of it but no totals as of yet. Week 1 were all spreads except one ML I had on the Bears - also had them on the spread so that cancelled out the losing ML. Early action this week are two spreads and two ML but looking at one total
    I may jump on.

    With a buddy we book each other at $20 a play for fun.
    - 1 Ml favorite
    - 1 Ml dog
    - 1 ou
    - 1 pts spread
    If you lose your Ml favorite you lose $40, if you win your Ml dog you win $40. If you go 4-0 you win an extra $20, if you go 0-4 you lose an extra $20. We only allow a team to be used once for both Ml plays.

    Yup. hard enough to pick the winner and spread, then try and figure out the score too? too much.

    Same, with the exception of baseball. I've got totally killed in baseball totals this year, since they stopped juicing the ball.

    I bet both but have always loved totals and typically bet more totals. I guess it depends on the sport as well.

    Varies from year to year, so far this season I have played a lot more totals than sides in both NFL and College, but that could flip at any time depending on where the value is.

    Honestly value is value
    Spread , total or ML but nothing like hitting a good ML simply due to odds
    NHL totals
    NCAAF ML - BTW , Fightin Illini +325 this week on the ticket
    MLB spread & totals
    CBB totals more than spread
    Yea I skipped NFL, it's a shitshow weekly seeing scores and wondering how in dafuq is that possible ?

    In NFL the ML's are pretty crazy, you're forced to take the spreads unless you like risking a ton of juice.

    -3 spread equates to a big ML in football

    The ML is the easiest way to win, but most guys are too afraid to lose to play it.

    This is the formula that has worked for me over the years:

    Football (NCAA & PRO) = Sides only...(point spreads with teasers, parlays, and straight bets)
    Basketball (NCAA) = Sides only...(points spreads with teasers, parlays, and straight bets)
    MLB = totals only...(teasers, parlays, and straight bets)

    If you play teasers and parlays, you do NOT make any money, no matter how much you may insist that you do. You cannot get teasers on Baseball totals. They do not exist
