Isn't a standard football spread the same as a 20 cent baseball line?

NFL:
Chicago -3 -110
vs
Green Bay +3 -110

isn't that the same as a 20 cent line? if so, then why do people hate baseball so bad? All we are told is DO NOT BET INTO 20 CENT LINES for baseball and for years (until just recently) that is what we do for football.

More betting oppurtunites and way less juice should equal a better chance for the player. One baseball season equals about 10 football seasons(MLB versus NFL).
I bet nickel overnight lines at 5 dimes and the juice makes it a much easier game. Simple math that adds up in the long run. I think betting baseball overnighters are a hidden gem (5 Dimes).

The above example means you must hit 52.4% to breakeven(@-110). The nickel juice means just 50.7 and you are ahead.

Just thinking out loud why more people don't like baseball as much as football must be the whole 1 week between games, not me anymore. I still love football but for the grind it out baseballl bettor, baseball gives you a way better have a chance (IMO).

but its football...i'd rather see a 20 yard out for a completion than a single..a thirty yard run from scrimmage than a triple and a TD than a homer...

I like Baseball because like you say there are 10 times more games to bet on.

Last year while betting football with Matchbook I hardly ever bet into a
20 cent line. Usually got -102 or -106..
