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?

People go for point spread because of the odds but to be on the safe side it's better to go with moneyline. I don't have a problem with any of them, sometimes I stake on both of them, I just split my bet into two, one on the moneyline and the other on point spread. It's a game of luck it's possible to win from any of them. But if I intend to stake a evey high amount then I don't go for any other option than money line
