Assume you like a side in Baseball and want to play the 5 Inning lines...
Would you rather back your choice with a straight ML bet at +130 or the RL +.5 (-110)?

I always prefer the plus money of the ML. Nobody really bets on the "tie" after 5, do they? LOL
If I thought it might be a pitchers' duel, I could perhaps see the benefit, however when one swing can kill it.....I'd rather pass.
Howlin' Dogs ~ 4-5 (+226)
All lines from The Greek
Stanley Cup Futures;
St Louis Blues (+1800)
Detroit Red Wings (+3000)
Team to win the 2013 - 14 Men's NCAA Championship
Kansas (+2500) ~ Thanks, Dub...

Depends on the total. If it's 3.5-4 you're a little better +0.5. If it's 5, you're a little better on the ML
You want a handicapping tip? Spend as much time getting a good number as you do researching games. Depositing/withdrawing/depositing/withdrawing is a bitch, but I guarantee you will lose less, or win more. I can't guarantee that for any other piece of advice

Then again, a good book will adjust for the total and your advantage will be negated. Poorly run books can be taken advantage of in this way
Thanks Lloyd,
Game I was referencing is NYM/SF 7/31 Harvey vs. Lincecum, the total is 3.5 Over +100
