On the money line when close to pick em they get juice both ways so the lines will both be slight minus on winner on money line because they are likely getting close to equal on both sides but if not they are covering themselves. Normally -110 on favorite point line.

While we are on it can someone explain why you would bet the money line over the spread ?

Straight Bet

If LSU is + 1 1/2

Bet $100.00 LSU covers win $100.00

Money Line

If LSU is -102

You bet $102.00 to win $100 right - but they have to win outright ?

Because you are minus 110 on the spread.

Just find a local bookie, there are only about 2-3 unique sites they all use. It’s the one with the red background

I have made a killing on arbitrage and promotion hedging, but you’re right in that it eventually runs dry. I’ve never been outright banned, but I have had my betting limits diminished so much that I may as well have. One app lets me bet $1 max.
