Team X -1.5 +160 is taking a fav or a dog?

It is a bad bet, but others will argue otherwise.

I consider getting +160 on a bet taking the dog.

its a bad bet regardless of the teams and the line you've capped the game at?

[AgainstAllOdds]

some lines are just screwy like that...Like the other day, the yanks were +1.5 (-200)...dont really get it

[pokernut9999]

Usually those odds are on a game with a line around -120 to -140. In a game like that I prefer the win by a run there. Most of my -1.5 games is where I see a dominate game that is -200+ that I can get even money on.

I have taken that bet where I saw a game I really liked, but would not take all of them.

And there are a lot of -200+ games I would not take -1.5 on.

The favored team is the team with the more expensive moneyline (to me at least)

[LT Profits]

Turnip is correct, so if a team is -1.5 +160, they are actually the FAVORITE. (unless of course you are taking the alternate run line)

[BeatTheJerk]

this is a really mindless debate ..........
