well ya opened up a can of worms about the moneyline versus the point spread
as stated above if you bet the moneyline and the game ends in a tie your bet is a push...........
if you bet the -0.5 and the game ends in a tie you would lose.
but as you can see in the above example the Islanders pay -110 on the point spread and -150 on the moneyline.......so obviously if you bet the point spread you would win more........but is it really worth -110 and -150 in this case......I myself would rather take the moneyline at -150 and then if the game ties your bet is voided, in my opinion not worth the risk at -110 to get screwed if game ends in a tie.........see what I mean
of course we madjackers disagree on this all the time........just making you aware............
then there's the whole +0.5 ........where if the game ends in a tie you win...........in your above example the +0.5 pays -110 and the moneyline on the Leafs pays +130........this brings in another argument here on madjacks......take the +0.5 at -110 and win if it ties.....or go for the big payoff on the Moneyline at +130.....you can see where the debate rages.........I myself like taking the +0.5 and +1.5 bets.....but many on here never ever do......some guys on here will kick your ass if ya take the +0.5
and oh yeah.........take the Leafs
