Is that not handicap that you meant? I do not like going for handicap. Some people like it especially to go for the weak team with minus that the strong team will still win them. I do not know much about basketball but I have gone for -2 in football before. But I do not like handicaps. I prefer to just go for the tram that would win but it can be a small odd for the strong team unlike handicap.

Just as what they say, it really depends but as a gambler I'd like to pick the +10 for the underdog if it seems possible that the team have that good performance for the most recent of its games. On NBA, I'd choose +10 if it's with the NBA finals with Dallas and Celtics. That +10 is actually a great advantage as a bettor to have if you're going to go with them. But they just really ended up badly on the game 1.
Well, all of us have different factors and situation on what we're going to choose.

A thrash team like Piston on the last season surely can’t cover +10 against team on higher rank while team like Spurs even though at the bottom of rankings can still cover this +10 since they have Wemby to compensate with their lack of offense.
Mate, you are straightforward with the Detroit but it's true, there are some exceptions depending on which team with the +10 so, as said by most, it varies and dependent to the teams. copper member

I just want to know which one you'll pick if you have to judge quickly. This is a point spread in any game, like a basketball game to be specific. You see the betting line, and therefore you have to choose between the two. Please tell me what the basis of your pick is. Those who are active in sports betting have surely seen a lot of betting lines like this, so your first reaction seeing it, which side are you attracted to?

Defense and Offense stats of the team involved. If the underdog team on the match has a defense capability to stop the favorite team then +10 is a better option.
It’s always depends on the underdog team whether you will choose +10 or -10. A thrash team like Piston on the last season surely can’t cover +10 against team on higher rank while team like Spurs even though at the bottom of rankings can still cover this +10 since they have Wemby to compensate with their lack of offense.
I usually pick +10 if both has close stats or the underdog team has a previous record of beating a stronger teams on that same season.

However, from a general perspective, I think +10 is very attractive. Personally, as far as I remember, I have more losses when taking high handicaps on the underdog than high spreads on the favorites, so I'd choose -10.
Obviously, you'd have more losses on underdogs because that team is the underdog, that meant that they're not the favorite to win at that time, that's why bookies are putting in more money on them than that of the one team that's favored to win the match, that's how it works. For me though, I don't really depend too much on the players or the teams that are playing, in my opinion, I'm already gambling, might as well take the risk right? So in times like this, I always tend to bet on the underdog because who knows what might happen and the underdog wins, I wouldn't miss out on potential big pays, it will only take one underdog win for me to offset all of the losses that I've got but if we're talking about consensus, I'd say that more people would probably choose to play it safe and pick the favorite.

I think it also depends on the teams that are playing. If I see that -10 is achievable more than 50% of the time, then that should be the right bet. We don't have to dig into the statistics of both teams if we are already familiar with them, since it's just one league and it's easier to familiarize.

Depends on which teams are going to play.
Let's say the Boston Celtics will play against the Portland Trail Blazers, I would pick the -10 no matter where they will play. Yes, even if it's the Trail Blazers home.
I will take the +10 if let's say Boston Celtics will play against New York Knicks even without Randle because they showed how great of a team they are this year, especially the Nova trio. The game might end in a close fight so the +10 for the Knicks will probably help out.
So everything will depend on which team will face another and then looking at the injury reports also especially if an offensive player is the one who will not play. Also, check the +/- of each player because it can affect the results of the game.
Usually, I pass up the -11 to -15 or I will just try to parlay the low odd Moneyline to something else so it would increase the odds. This is why I love the same game parlay feature. Very helpful when there's only one game available especially now in the Finals.
