    It's human nature to like the favorites.. Obviously knowing which side to bet is the skill part but in general, I like to play with grabbing the points playing dogs, especially when I truely feel the dog has a chance to win straigth up and it's a live one..

    I've been betting a lot of Favorites lately in MLB but I was betting a lot of Dogs earlier in the season. So for me... I guess it's whatever I think is profitable.

    On a side note... lolguy999 I invited you to a game of Reversi 6x6. If you beat me I'll give you 100 betpoints.

    In college football I was told to be careful about playing the under in games that should be competitive because of the overtime rules. Makes some sense.

    My mind is always on the favorites, which would make me lose usually.
