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?
Moneyline is more simple and straight forward to me, whenever I want to go with a strategic game on basketball I prefer to go with moneyline than point spread because I don't really have a lot of luck with it. Most gamblers that say they don't benefit from using only moneyline are probably adding up too many games, if you can just make one or two selections using this system it's better.
