-1.5 handicap is hi-variance play...
-1 is a lower variance way to achieve similar yield...
there's even an extra 2%+ if u are willing to "roll your own" -1 RLs (as a combination of the -1.5 RL and the ML) versus taking the "off the shelf" versions that some books (including dimey) offer
the "heartbreak factor" is also improved (settling for a push, when ur team wins by 1 run is a hell of a lot less frustrating than having to eat a loss)
chek this out, esp post #8
