+1.5 Runlines

[Omie]

Does Vegas do this because they think we're dumb. I have only been capping for about a year, but seriously - Is there even a bit of value in these plays? I myself have never bet on this, and I have never seen other cappers is this forum play them either. If there is value in these plays, please someone tell me how because I never think twice about placing +1.5



+1.5 = :bsflag

well alot of people bet -1.5, so you cannot put out a spread one sided you know?

i actually play dogs i think might win str8 up +1.5
its a good bet for me

 

[Omie]

yeah...I know there has to be two sides. I have bet -1.5 many times, but on the + side, I can't understand why someone would make that bet. If you think a dog will - at worst - only lose by 1 run, wouldn't you take the moneyline since that is where the value is?

u do +1.5 in parlays
last week when atl lost 2-1 in extra inn vs Philly i had Atl +1.5

 

[vyrus858]

yea I def see value in HOME dogs +1.5 come to think about it...how many times have you seen a team be up by 1 then a bottom of the 9th 1 run win u know`

I like road dogs better for +1 1/2 because of the way home teams win late in games actually.
