Underdog Spread and ML ... Input Please

[Vesuvius]

When you take the spread for an underdog, say Lakers +4.5 ... and they win SU, do you kick yourself for not taking the ML?

I know some people do both, like a unit for the spread, and half a unit for the ML.

Is there a number cut off for anyone, say 2 for NBA where you would never bet +2 or +1 but just take the ML?

I'm curious to what everyone has to say about this...

not at all. im happy to be on the right side of a winning ticket
I take the point or two also most of the time

sometimes i'm pissed if i have a dog on the spread and they win SU, i never feel bad for not taking a fav ML when they win and dont cover though.

i never play MLs. even if it's a +1, i'll take it.

Exactly, especially when the spread is higher.
