Not sure if I am posting in the right place. But I have an interesting (I think) question.
Tonight, one of the number sets I use thought that there was a 64% change Charlotte would cover the 2.5 spread. The same set of numbers suggested that Charlotte had a 73% chance to cover the money line. The money line was priced at 135 while the point spread was priced at 110.
So, on a $100 bet, you were buying 2.5 points for 25 bucks. In basketball, where the standard point unit is 2 points, would you take the ML with a 73% chance, or the points with a 64% chance.
I'll get into the assumption you only pay the juice when you win in another post....
Anyone interested in sharing their thoughts on this? For the record, I took the points...
