    What odds do you regularly bet at?
    What odds do you regularly bet at using your betting strategy? I know everyone have different stategies in terms of betting and profits, but what are lines that you regularly bet at like anything under -130 or so.

    Do you have a maximum that you wont wager like you would never wager anything under -180 perhaps, or doesnt matter as long you have an edge on a side.

    Does break-even matter when evaluating lines, for example when betting -150, you will need to hit 60% of those bets to break even.

    Everyone say that successful bettors win on average 57% of their bets, however thats only on -110 lines, why are people betting so often on -250 lines. , do you consider break even percentages when betting on a game or do you just find value in a game and bet it regardless of the odds? Do you have a min and max limit of lines that you wont bet anything under or over a certain line?

    Thanks

    There are some really sharp players here of which I am not. But, it depends on the sport what you can lay. After nearly 30 years of gambling Ive found that laying -140 or higher in general is not very profitable. But it kind of depends what the real value of the wager is. I'll lay -190 everyday on something that I think should be priced at -240, for example.

      I play A LOT of underdog MLs (obviously situationally based), and find it quite profitable

        Welcome to the forum Alexie! I'll go ahead and echo what these guys have said, and also recommend you shop around for the best available lines. Good luck.
