      Of course a M/L dog would be easier but a loss is a loss..
      You wouldn't know about that though...

          The thrill of hitting a +7.5 & +300 at once is exceptional

                Man… hitting a long shot dog and the chest thump that goes with it feels better than barely winning a favorite. But… in the end….

                          Machba, can you ship me a pie? I really respect how hard you work for your business. I’m a small business guy too.

                                  I'd rather win a fav. A book will not limit someone who wins consinstenly on favorites but will limit someone who wins on undedogs consistenly.

                                      I mainly bet favs and have been limited by a lot of locals . Limits are for bookies who have limited bankroll IMO

                                        But if you won on underdogs you would have been limited much faster.

                                          Yes completely agree . They would lose their bankroll much much faster. Betting favs they want that action eventually they win

                                            True and anyone on this forum that have been betting the underdog on Sunday Night Football games are now 7-1 ATS underdog.

                                              This is the fundamental difference between a pro and an amateur. Value is key, not labels like underdog or favourite.

                                                Hindsight 20/20, looking back, whatever play would have won is always the play that should have been bet - no matter what the juice was. There is no juice when you win, a loss is paying 100% juice.

                                                That being said and not being able to see into future, some risks are not worth the rewards.

                                                  Very rarely do we get a +100 AKA EVEN line in gambling. Usually their are FAVS or DOGS . Every winner is of value. Key is to pick non-losers

                                                    That being said and not being able to see into future, some risks are not worth the rewards.
                                                    Future? look into flyers future in NHL might be worth a lil chump change

                                                          Don't care , hit both but the entire equation requires the word "Win" or its irrelevant.
