    Default What is generally the better bet?

    This may sound like a dumb question but I'm curious to see what you guys have to say. What is generally the best bet in the sense that the likelihood is the greatest?

    I don't look at it in like that in any of those poll questions you listed above.

    I feel it depends on where the best value is in a game. Personally, I don't cap games in that fashion at all bud. I find the value and bet it accordingly.

    Generalizations will kill you in gambling, but if I were to pick, it would be between playing unders or playing home dogs.

    Couldn't have said it better, if you want some value this weekend, do some boxing and take the Miranda Gibbs fight under 7.5 rounds and even watch it on HBO Saturday night...

    Where ever the value sits, and it could be in any of the above situations. So I think I will vote for all of them.

    I agree with what everyone has said about keeping an open mind and looking for the best value wherever it may lie, however it's a poll and I feel like I must cast a vote.

    Of the listed options, I place more bets on dog moneylines than anything else.

    I also agree with everyone. But historically home dogs ATS covers more than any of the others.

    If anything that simple won consistantly, even in a subset of games, a group of players would realize that and start backing that side, and if they were successful that money would grow until the market corrected itself. Historically JDK is correct, home dogs cover well in many sports, and it's also true that unders have a tiny edge on overs in most sports as well, but don't fall into the trap of looking for such an easy out.

    The question is too simplistic, but there are some surprisingly simple answers, although slightly more detailed. lol.
