Here is my FINAL answer after rethinking this all day...
There are TWO, one is technical, the other is not...
1-KNOWING WHAT SIDE OF THE GAME BILLY WALTERS IS REALLY ON....

2-KNOWING WHERE THE BEST VALUE IS...
Is it the Money line? The first half spread? The quarter lines? Or the line for the entire game?
Many gamblers can improve themselves enormously as a sports bettor by understanding just this particular aspect of handicapping...
I know some of you won't agree, but this is my FINAL answer...
Now WHO do I have to buy drinks for, lol?
