Which one do you prefer? Lately I found out moneyline is actually easier than point spread to handicap for me. I wonder if anyone doing just moneyline for football and basketball. And how much is a point spread worth in money line in NFL and NBA? Reply here or pm me, much obliged!

depends entirely on the bet/sport/game - both have their place, but spreads can at least get you some interesting 2H hedging options. I dont know of anyone who does only one or the other, since the sharps are looking for value week in and week out, and certain weeks the value is on the ML and others its in the spread. I'm not sure I understand your last question, but hope the rest helps.

I never said they are. That's why I ask how much is one point in moneyline in NFL and NBA. For example, Raiders is -3.5, moneyline is -135 opening line. Then line moves to -4.5, what is the possible line for moneyline? -145, -150 or -155? Any standard? And I think 1 point in NBA is cheaper since points are easier to score.
