Have you ever tried keeping a record to compare the two? And what did you find, which one’s actually more profitable?
It’s easier to pick which team will win, so most people go for the moneyline. But the odds can kill your profit, since the favorites usually have really low payouts. So then you start thinking about betting on the point spread, where the payout is more balanced.
But are we really doing that kind of comparison? Or are we just betting based on gut feeling following our instincts without even knowing if we’re actually winning in the long run?
I am not doing that kind of comparison but looking at the odds with the points spread, sometimes they're attractive and I've bet on them. And when I've seen that I've got lesser chance of winning there, I have to stick to the moneyline and for the game winners. That's why I am following that stats only for myself. I'm not sure if the others are doing the same thing. But most of us don't really track these records and we only go with red and green in our stats. So, if we're losing more with the other, we shift and goes to the other one and whichever is more effective, we stay there.
