Here's a question for you. Would you place a bet on a team you thought had only a 35% chance to win when given a line of +200 on that team?

Really? Getting +200 on a 35% probability, is, in the long term, very profitable. Any sports bettor who has approached the endeavor correctly should have the bankroll to make that play every time it comes up without fear of "pressure on the bankroll."

You only need +186 to make it a profitable (although extremely minor) play. At +200, I play a unit every single time, regardless of anything else.
