When you bet +1.5 you are betting that your team is going to lose by exactly 1 run.
If your team loses by more than 1 you lose the bet.
If your team outright wins the game you just gave up tremendous value when you could have made a killing on the moneyline.
Take the Yankees/Royals game for example.
Royals +356
Royals +1.5 +182
The only way the Royals on the runline turns out to be a smart play is if they lose by exactly 1 run. If the Royals win the game outright you just gave away +174 in value.
That 1 run is not worth near that.
Just my 2 cents.
