Default Who would you take???

Imagine you HAD to make a soccer bet, the amount of that bet is your average "handicap" sports bet.( handicap is when both teams have a very similar payout)
You dont know a thing about the teams, all you know are the odds are the following:
Home team: -150
Draw: +220
Away team: +500

Who would you take and why? I wont make a poll because I want explanations. Afterwards I will explain why I made this aparrently stupid thread.

For that statement of humility alone I'll dignify your question with an answer: +220 so I don't have to watch the game and root for either team.

If neither you, nor the bookmaker know the teams, then I would bet the draw in some countries and the away team in others.

If I had reason to believe that the bookmaker had some idea what he was doing, I would bet the favorite to maximize my chances of having money to bet things where I won't be betting blind, as bankroll protection is more important to me than a slight difference in negative edge.
