Little help please

I have never looked at alternative spread lines, but I am interested today. Maybe I am missing something, but according to BJam you can bet the Colts -14 1/2 for +350 on the alternate spread line.

If you buy points, one option is Colts +17 1/2 for +425, BUT, you can buy it down to 14 1/2 for +365, instead of the +350 above. If I bet this, why wouldn't I go to the +17 1/2 and buy it down to +14 1/2 for +365 instead of punching the 14 1/2 + 350?

If I haven't confused everyone, this just appears to be a glitch to me. Any help is appreciated

Colts +14.5 or -14.5?

[robby_morini]

sorry colts -14.5

sorry colts -14.5

Well if you were going to bet it take the +365, but theres no way IMO that the colts win this game by more than 15 pts.

I think you are right, but you never know
