    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….

    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

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