2 noob questions: Moneylines and Line Shopping

[IHateKeithSmart]

Hey all:

This may be my first attempt at wearing out my welcome, so tell me to stfu n00b if needed (but give a link at least [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]).

Anyhoo, I want to start betting a few nfl games for fun. I have read the fine faq and have a few follow up questions.

1) Moneylines - I think I'd like to start out with these kinds of bets. But, most of the threads I see in here talk about lines/spreads, which seems to mean that is the preferred method of 'good' sports bettors. Am I an idiot for wanting to bet moneylines (are these sucker bets)?

2) Line shopping - In the FAQ, tech says the money is made by being a good line shopper vs. a good handicapper. So, I'm assuming you guys have accounts with a number of sportsbooks. As a n00b, I only have an account with Bodog (they were rated well and have poker too). So, am I screwed? I only want to bet $50 or $100 a game a couple of times a week and don't want to open up 10 accounts.

Thanks,
Jason from the Tubby Zone
