[Sam Odom]

Opinions ?

I bet way more money lines now when it’s chalk

It’s too difficult to cover the spread

even dogs

case can be made that one has conditioned himself to lose betting a dog ML - less stress

bet ML dogs in nfl

Heavy home favorites ML parlay in college way to go.

I hit pretty solid last year with one very big exception. Georgia losing to Vandy at home was my 3rd of a 3 teamed worth 5k. That hurt...that was a Vegas ticket, much larger than my traditional inline bets.

[PAULYPOKER]

Sammy

[Sam Odom]

Sammy

you do not comprehend odds very well

that is the point of post #7

thread aint about odds, which is better (ML or ATS) or neither

it is about the gambler's perception of his stress level

[PAULYPOKER]

[Sam Odom]

yeah... you were confused

so dont double down on dumb

[BigdaddyQH]

If you guys get stressed out on any type of wager, you are too broke to be wagering. Then again, look who I am talking to.

[Sam Odom]

QH... you never stress gambling ?

[PAULYPOKER]

Yes Sammy, I was confused,Lol.......

[Sam Odom]

Yes Sammy, I was confused

happens to all of us

In Europe nobody bets spreads all ML all sports

[KVB]

With my forecasts, the moneyline bets are far less stressful. Keep the unit the same with each price and let the book have varying risk.

It might feel worse when you win, but if you a lose a few, you'll be glad you kept the risk flat.

All you have to do is pick the winner, like baseball...

[slapshot]

no team play to cover the spread....the play to win the game.
the spread is an invention of the gambling industry making the outcome completely random.

[Jnelson1182]

I agree that no bet should cause street its supposed to be fun an enjoyable. As for which on is better I think then ml is definitely a easier bet especially with the NFL. Sometimes its hare to guess the point spread in the NFL, the later the season gets the easier it does get to figure if the game will cover or not but to me the first half of the season is hard to bet the points.

really sharp

[Sam Losco]

moneyline are less stressful

you know a team is playing to win, you dont know if a team up by 3 gives a fuk that the spread was 7

[Sam Odom]

not to mention backdoor covers

how many times have you watched a game and just knew the backdoor cover was coming

[Enkhbat]

if the u bet the favorite at -500 or something and the game is tight it is more stressful.

have to do KVB's MM

[jjgold]

Everything is stressful depending on bet sizes

[Shute]

More juice = more stress
Therefore ML

[Otters27]

Ml. Because the taem is trying to win. Not cover the spread. Less stressful because you and the coach ate on the same page

Baseball is more stressful sport to bet than any other. All it takes is one run and you won or lost your bet. I think its similar to spliting hairs unless you are playing heavy chalk. Just because a pitcher has a 1.00 whip means really nothing in baseball hitters can still win the game or go over the posted totals easy. There is really no accurate way to predict exactly how many runs a team will get with in game. In baseball for every stat for a win i can show you a stat against a win.

Exactly I really like betting teams on money lines when its a must win to get in the playoffs. My confidence level goes up during that time.

Mike Gundy has a mullet now.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

I think the answer is that Moneyline bets are MORE stressful. It has to do w/ the bigger swings.

ATS straight-bets are normally 1.1 to win 1.0.

Moneyline swings are much bigger. Take Bengals M/L, for example. 1.0 to win 3.5. Chance to more than quadruple your $$. Gone in a blink, at end of game.

Some truth to this. There's a difference btw spread-betting + Moneyline-betting.

In Europe, they're used to betting 3-WAY moneylines on soccer. It's a different animal.

[Philmill]

when you bet favorite spread your really trying to do 2 things ( like a 2 game parlay) got to win and cover the spread.....

best luck in wagering is just do one thing..... Just win the game....

try to cap a game with low ML numbers ....under -160 or whatever your risk level is...

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Philmill, sick feeling to bet a FAV ATS and have them fall behind early. Need a miracle rally + u know your ticket is likely dead.

[GunShard]

The first 3 weeks of the NFL season is unpredictable but once week 4 starts bet on the ML when the spread is -7 and greater. You have a higher chance of winning the ML straight up.
